Rating: R Stars: Sophie Wilde, Joe Bird, Alexandra Jensen, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Marcus Johnson, Alexandria Steffensen, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Ari McCarthy, Sunny Johnson, Sarah Brokensha Writers: Danny Philippou, Bill Hinzman, story by Daley Pearson Directors: Danny Philippou & Michael Philippou Distributor: A24 Release Date: July 28, 2023 The new release TALK TO ME is not to be confused with the 2007 fact-based drama about Ralph “Petey” Greene (although one can imagine what an astonishing mashup they would make). Instead, this TALK TO ME is a proudly Australian horror movie, set Down Under rather than just shot there and […]Read On »

COBWEB movie poster | ©2023 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Lizzy Caplan, Woody Norman, Cleopatra Coleman, Antony Starr, Luke Busey, Jay Rincón Writer: Chris Thomas Devlin Director: Samuel Bodin Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 21, 2023 COBWEB is linear, and doesn’t try to play games with us. Even so, it feels like a child’s nightmare, with potential horror coming from many directions at once. An opening title tells us that COBWEB begins one week before Halloween. Eight-year-old Peter (Woody Norman) is an unhappy little boy. He’s bullied by his peers in class and on the playground. Peter lives in a neighborhood where the houses are old and […]Read On »

NATTY KNOCKS movie poster | ©2023 Vertical Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, Thomas Robie, Noen Perez, Channah Zeitung, Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, Robert Englund, Amit Sarin, Will Murden, Joey Bothwell, Jason James Richter Writer: Benjamin Olson Director: Dwight H. Little Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: July 21, 2023 Too often, horror movies don’t have much plot. We get a set-up, then a villain, and then it’s just stalk, fend off, and fight-fight-fight. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, but still, it’s nice to see a story with cause-and-effect plotting. That’s the case with NATTY KNOCKS. Written by Benjamin Olson and directed by Dwight H. Little, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Vincent M. Ward, Tony Todd, Krista Grotte Saxon, Monaye Moyes, Meberate Brooks, Jon Briddell Writer: Thomas J. Churchill, story by Vincent M. Ward Director: Thomas J. Churchill Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: June 30, 2023 DEVILREAUX fits, very broadly, into the CANDYMAN pantheon of vengeful revenants created by wrongs of the pre-Civil War American South. An onscreen title informs us that we’re in present-day New Orleans. A nice young couple have what appears to be a tourist-trap magic shop. While they are redecorating, both are killed by a tall black figure in skeleton white-face makeup. This is […]Read On »

We see opening credits for a feature from “Francis-Castle Pictures,” CRIMSON MANOR, and even an onscreen certificate from the British Board of Film Censors. But we quickly learn we’re in the […]Read On »

BROOKLYN 45 key art | ©2023 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Anne Ramsay, Ron E. Rains, Jeremy Holm, Larry Fessenden, Ezra Buzzington, Kristina Klebe Writer: Ted Geoghegan Director: Ted Geoghegan Distributor: Shudder/AMC+ Release Date: June 9, 2023 Much of BROOKLYN 45 rolls out as though it could be a stage play. Most of it occurs on a single albeit large set. It also has what is more a theatrical than a film convention, a group of middle-aged friends coming together for what’s meant to be a friendly social gathering that becomes an exploration of ethics, duty, responsibility, guilt, and a lot more. But then there’s the supernatural […]Read On »

Because of the specifics of the short story, a major studio release based on it was very likely to take […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Natasha Esca, Carlo Mendez, Roland Buck III, Katelyn MacMullen, Bob Clendenin, Kemberli Flores, Julie Brister Writers: Justin Gallaher & Sam Roseme Directors: Justin Gallaher & Sam Roseme Distributor: Freestyle Digital Media Release Date: May 19, 2023 (VOD and digital) MOTION DETECTED immediately sets itself apart from both conventional haunted house and berserk security system stories by combining the two subgenres. In the opening section, we see a little girl witness a 3D video glitch in a lovely old-fashioned house, as an AI voice alerts us, “Motion detected.” The video glitch reaches out of a closet and […]Read On »
