Review: Natalie Erika James’ ‘Saccharine’
“‘Saccharine’ is an effective queer love story and a surprisingly moving tale of female friendship surviving against increasingly insurmountable odds. Let women be gross!”
Review: Damian McCarthy’s ‘Hokum’
“‘Hokum,’ much like ‘Caveat’ and ‘Oddity,’ is pure nightmare fuel. But there’s a small tinge of hope — a suggestion that forgiveness is possible — that differentiates it from McCarthy’s previous movies.”
Review: Ian Tuason’s ‘Undertone’
“‘Undertone’ is inspired, unnerving and truly a future classic.”
Review: Alice Maio Mackay’s ‘The Serpent’s Skin’
“Mackay has once again managed to do an awful lot with zero money and a ton of determination, which makes ‘The Serpent’s Skin’ much easier to admire than pick apart.”
Review: Corin Hardy’s ‘Whistle’
“‘Whistle’ bodes well for the future of studio horror.”
Review: Johannes Roberts’ ‘Primate’
“‘Primate’ is a bit like that memorably gruesome sequence in ‘Nope’ (2022) stretched out to feature length, but it’s smarter, meaner and more inventive.”
Review: The Adams Family’s ‘Mother of Flies’
“‘Mother of Flies’ works as both an art piece and a successful horror movie overflowing with ooey gooey and creepy-crawly ickiness.”
