‘Clown in a Cornfield’ – Review
Hold on for dear life horror fans, because the slasher genre just got a wicked injection of adrenaline, and face paint! Eli Craig, the madman genius behind cult-classic Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, returns to the director’s chair with a gleefully deranged adaptation of Adam Cesare’s cult horror novel Clown in a Cornfield, and this […]
‘Forgive Us All’ – Review
Welcome to the end of the world, New Zealand style. And what an end it is. Forgive Us All, the debut feature from visionary duo Jordana Stott and Lance Giles, is not your typical slice of undead cinema.

Now, nearly a decade later, director Gavin O’Connor and the mighty Ben Affleck are back – […]
‘Sinners’ – Review
“You keep knocking at the devil’s door. One day, he’s going to follow you home.” That line hits like a freight train and sets the tempo for Sinners, the new genre-shattering horror-action explosion from visionary filmmaker Ryan Coogler. And movies don’t get much cooler, bloodier, sexier, or more utterly insane than Sinners. This is cinema […]
‘Warfare’ – Review
In a cinematic world where war films often lean into spectacle or sentimentality, Warfare is a sledgehammer to the chest; a raw, unrelenting assault on the senses that redefines modern combat storytelling. A24’s latest entry into the war genre sees former US Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza teaming up with boundary-pushing auteur Alex Garland (Ex Machina, […]

Christopher Landon throws audiences headfirst into a full-throttle panic spiral with Drop, a slick, stylish thriller that weaponizes first date jitters and transforms them into a heart-racing, edge-of-your-seat experience.
