As lavish, entertaining, and even as scary as the film is, by the time the credits roll, the story feels thin and never fully realized.

Desert power.

A near masterclass in staging a simplistic yet appropriately tense psychological thriller that continues to build onto itself.

There's Someone Inside Your House simply feels like a hollow and increasingly dull picture.

Has some of the best segments of the entire series, and certainly feels like the most well-rounded and consistent in terms of the quality of its various shorts.

A hallucinatory and unnerving dive into obsession and addiction, Arrebato is challenging, beguiling and thought-provoking.

Frida (2002) and Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) (2007), are both focus on Mexican narratives, but they are meant to be an entry point for listeners and provide different types of Hispanic narratives and experiences.

Bad Candy might not have any higher aspirations or deeper thoughts on its mind beyond staging some gory thrills (most of which are pretty impressive considering the smaller budget), but it does often feel a bit smarter than other films in the way it sometimes jumps over horror tropes and delivers clever reveals.

It's James Wan's style through and through, yet more free than it's ever been.

While it still falls into some of the trappings of Marvel's less compelling aspects, it still manages to be a big entertaining time at the movies and an interesting expansion on the larger cinematic universe it's set in.

Just when it seems like vampire entertainment has bled itself dry, along comes something like Jakob’s Wife with the right amount of smarts and gore to bring it back from the dead.

Arguably the strongest of all the recent DC films so far, and a hopeful sign that the studio has a brighter future ahead.

A24 delivers once again with a haunting and challenging deconstruction of the hero’s journey.

Peace, Love, and Rage is an engrossing look at one of the most pivotal cultural events that occurred at the turn of the century, all of the good, the bad, the very bad, and the weird of it.

It's a film with momentum, where both the intensity and the quieter emotional beats ramp up and take the audience to melancholic, terrifying, and enlightening places.

Part of the film's power comes from the uncensored view of the cruelty of it all.

The film may not be one of Marvel's very best, but it shows that the studio still has the ability to wow audiences on the big screen.
