Rating: R Stars: Nell Tiger Free, Ralph Ineson, Sonia Braga, Tawfeek Barhom, Maria Caballero, Bill Nighy, Nicole Sorace Writers: Tim Smith & Arkasha Stevenson and Keith Thomas, story by Ben Jacoby, based on characters created by David Seltzer Director: Arkasha Stevenson Distributor: 20th Century Studios Release Date: April 5, 2024 It’s tough to figure out how to rate THE FIRST OMEN. Taken completely on its own – that is, blotting out any expectations that OMEN in the title bring to it – it feels a bit like a ‘70s Italian horror movie. This is partly because THE FIRST OMEN is […]Read On »

YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME movie poster | ©2024 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brendan Rock, Jordan Cowan Writer: Indianna Bell Directors: Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell Distributor: Shudder Release Date: March 22, 2024 (Shudder) YOU’LL NEVER FIND ME is well-made, well-shot, and extremely well-acted. Directors Josiah Allen and Indianna Bell, working from Bell’s script, do a first-rate job of putting a lot of visual variety into a film that essentially takes place in one location: the interior of a large mobile home in an Australian trailer park. Patrick (Brendan Rock) lives alone here. He has an old-fashioned portable radio plugged into the wall. He is examining liquid in a […]Read On »

Release Date: March 29, 2024 Although both of the main characters have their origins in film rather than printed matter, GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE feels more like an old-school mainstream comic book than most movie releases from Marvel or DC. The good guys are very good, the bad guys are very bad, warnings on computer systems frequently have double exclamation points, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Jack Gleeson, Sarah Greene, Desmond Eastwood, Niamh Cusack, Conor MacNeill, Seamus O’Hara, Colm Meaney, Ciarán Hinds, Michelle Gleeson, Anne Brogan, Mark O’Regan Writers: Mark Michael McNally & Terry Loane Director: Robert Lorenz Distributor: Samuel Goldwyn Films Release Date: March 29, 2024 Movies set in 1974 now qualify as period pieces. So it is with IN THE LAND OF SAINTS & SINNERS. The opening titles inform us that we’re in Northern Ireland, where decades of unrest have led to armed conflict. This refers to the sectarian strife between Protestant and Catholic paramilitary groups, which […]Read On »

Harry is miserable and angry, and maybe not as focused as his human friend Asta (Sara Tomko) and his ally General Wright (Linda Hamilton) would like him to be on the immediate problem of saving the Earth from the Greys. Chris Sheridan developed RESIDENT ALIEN for television based on the graphic novels […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, Fayssal Bazzi, Ingrid Torelli, Rhys Auteri, Georgina Haig, Josh Quong Tart, Michael Ironside (voice) Writers: Colin Cairnes & Cameron Cairnes Directors: Colin Cairnes & Cameron Cairnes Distributor: IFC Films/Shudder Release Date: March 22, 2024 (theatrical); April 19, 2024 (Shudder) Sometimes, it works just fine if a movie indicates at the start how it’s going to finish. Such is the case with LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, an almost perfect example of how to construct horror movie tension in a contained environment. LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL takes the form of a […]Read On »
