Obsession (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Navarrette’s powerhouse performance helps mitigate this by puncturing Nikki’s bipolar outbursts with moments of heartbreaking clarity, reminding us of the human being trapped inside of this misogynistic caricature. ” – RogerEbert.com May 15, 2026 Full Review Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s a highly personal work, a defense of problematic favs, and a movie that only Jane Schoenbrun could make. Let them guide you, and they’ll take you where you need to go.” – Inverse May 15, 2026 Full Review Affection (2025) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “The lensing and production design are similarly generic, save for a handful of inspired shots that, again, provide glimmers of a clearer vision than the unevenly applied one we ultimately get here. ” – RogerEbert.com May 10, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% EDIT “Across those three films Cronin has developed enough gruesome signatures that an adjective — Croninesque, maybe? — may yet be in his future, particularly if he keeps reinventing classic movie monsters in his own style like he does here.” – Inverse Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% EDIT “Although it's not completely free from franchise rot, Faces of Death is still an impressively nasty piece of work.” – Inverse Apr 6, 2026 Full Review The Serpent's Skin (2025) 93% EDIT “This is a fantasy — of belonging, of strength through softness, of being able to protect those you love from everything violent and hateful in this world — but it’s rooted in a lived experience that makes it feel very grounded and authentic.” – Inverse Apr 3, 2026 Full Review DreamQuil (2026) 36% B- EDIT “While simply admiring the look of “DreamQuil” is enough to sustain interest throughout the film’s abbreviated 89-minute run time, it also means that what sticks in the viewer’s memory after it’s over is a series of images and not ideas. ” – IndieWire Mar 30, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 75% EDIT “Smartly cast with an ensemble of up-and-coming young actors who deliver the bitchy comedic dialogue like they wrote it themselves, Forbidden Fruits is very much of our current moment.” – Inverse Mar 28, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% 1.5/4 EDIT “At times, 'Alpha’ plays like a Cronenbergian after-school special, in which the visual metaphors are overplayed, and the drama is broadly sketched to teach a moral lesson. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Dead Lover (2025) 86% 3/4 EDIT “It’s an absurd film, but also a romantic and quietly radical one. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 23, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% B- EDIT “Once the overstimulation sets in, it’s difficult to move beyond it, and the resulting numbness may explain how a film that has so much going on can go from exhilarating to underwhelming over the course of 94 action-packed minutes. ” – IndieWire Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% B+ EDIT “It’s just a good old-fashioned ghost story, the kind you’d tell over a campfire to scare children. And it’s a hair-raising one at that. ” – IndieWire Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 68% C EDIT “This is a glib and insincere effort, trying to graft a fun moviegoing experience onto a depressing story about hateful people reveling in each other’s pain. Again, this could be entertaining in the right hands. Here, it just feels smug.” – IndieWire Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% B- EDIT “This movie is best watched in pajamas, perhaps with a container of takeout on your lap.” – IndieWire Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Family Movie (2026) 92% EDIT “Working from a story by Bacon and Sedgwick, screenwriter Dan Beers incorporates some genuinely funny lines, which the cast sells with unselfconscious commitment.” – TheWrap Mar 14, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% B EDIT “In this way, undertone is the perfect horror film for our era, one in which superstition and technology not only coexist, but feed one another. ” – AV Club Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 2/4 EDIT “It is quite repellant, which in this case can be read as a compliment; it is what Blackhurst was going for, after all. Scratch the surface, however, and it’s less flattering, one predictable element among many in this utterly predictable film. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% B+ EDIT “Pillion is a film about self-knowledge, and about asserting one’s needs and boundaries without shame. ” – AV Club Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Fing! (2026) B- EDIT “Bell gives her all to this performance -- it just happens to be in the service of playing a horrible little girl.” – IndieWire Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Friend's House Is Here (2026) 100% EDIT “Although this is a story about innocence lost, the overwhelming impression left by “The Friend’s House is Here” is one of sweetness and hope.” – TheWrap Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 94% B EDIT “Union County doesn’t completely bypass addiction-drama clichés. But its detailed, humanistic approach successfully creates a realistic world that supports its muted storytelling. ” – IndieWire Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) 94% B- EDIT “It all builds to a snorter of a punchline that isn’t particularly deep, but is satisfying. At the end, all that’s left is a question: Is it worse to be alien pregnant, or the regular human kind? ” – IndieWire Jan 25, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 94% EDIT “Whenever the quirk threatens to overwhelm the emotion in Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!, Kubota Wladyka turns the camera onto his star’s face, and she almost invariably brings it back into balance.” – TheWrap Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% B EDIT “The result is occult horror as potent as the snake venom in one of Selveig’s dreadful “cures.”” – AV Club Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% EDIT “The profound sorrow of Schilinski’s film comes on slowly, but it clings to the viewer after the movie has ended like the smell of smoke on a winter coat. ” – AV Club Jan 16, 2026 Full Review
