Rating: PG-13 Stars: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Arthur Conti, Willem Dafoe Writers: Alfred Gough & Miles Millar, story by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith, based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson Director: Tim Burton Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: September 6, 2024 Back in 1988, when supernatural comedies that invented whole other worlds were still a novelty (GHOSTBUSTERS had already arrived in 1984), BEETLEJUICE felt fresh and inventive. The second feature film from director Tim Burton, who had previously helmed 1985’s PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, BEETLEJUICE introduced […]Read On »

However, when we see a little girl, she is not near the celebration, but rather standing by herself, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Christian Willis, Dirk Hunter, Charles Cottier, John Noble, Tobie Webster Writers: Steve Boyle & Toby Osborne Director: Steve Boyle Distributor: Shudder Release Date: September 6, 2024 (Shudder) THE DEMON DISORDER treats demonic possession as a hereditary physical disease. It mixes Cronenbergian levels of body horror with family drama that has elements of both tragedy and dark humor. We’re in rural Australia. We start with views of a rundown house behind a chain-link fence. The place is occupied, though, by two adult Reilly brothers. Alcoholic Jake (Dirk Hunter) is the eldest; troubled youngest Phillip (Charles Cottier) is […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Brandy Norwood, Andrew Burnap, Kathryn Hunter, Neil Huff Writers: Max Eggers & Sam Eggers, based on the short story by Susan Hill Directors: Max Eggers & Sam Eggers Distributor: A24 Release Date: September 6, 2024 Directed – in their feature debut – and written by brothers Max Eggers & Sam Eggers, THE FRONT ROOM is a dark comedy with some supernatural elements.

Rating: R Stars: Casey Affleck, Laurence Fishburne, Emily Beecham, Tomer Capone, David Morrissey, Nikolett Barabas (voice) Writers: R. Scott Adams and Nathan C. Parker, story by R. Scott Adams Director: Mikael Håfström Distributor: Bleecker Street Release Date: August 30, 2024 The title of SLINGSHOT does not refer to a physical object. Rather, it describes a maneuver that the manned spacecraft Odyssey 1 is intended to perform. The ship is meant to circle Jupiter to gain enough energy to reach its ultimate destination, Saturn’s moon Titan. SLINGSHOT has a brief opening in which a woman – we’ll learn this is Zoe […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Toby Poser, John Adams, Max Portman, Anders Hove, Marko Filipović, Olivera Peruničić, Aleksandar Trmčić, Petar Arsić, Bruno Veljanovski, Boris Lukman Writers: Lulu Adams & John Adams & Toby Poser Directors: Toby Poser & John Adams Distributor: Shudder Release Date: August 23, 2024 (Shudder) “Man is the warmest place to hide” was a slightly misleading tagline for 1982’s JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING. The Thing wasn’t hiding inside people, it was replicating them. However, the slogan would be a perfectly apt way to promote HELL HOLE, a relatively low-budget but effective horror movie that has an uncommon take […]Read On »

This isn’t to say ALIEN: ROMULUS is in the same class as the 1986 ALIENS or the 1979 original ALIEN. That would be demanding too much of practically any movie. However, it starts by honoring the basics. Yes, there is a bit of […]Read On »
