HOKUM Review
Ohm (Adam Scott) is an American novelist who travels to a remote, deteriorating hotel in rural Ireland to spread his parent's ashes. He is struggling with unresolved grief, and also a case of writers block. He is a successful writer, but seems to be struggling with the ending of the trilogy he's been writing for years. When he arrives at the hotel, something is clearly off. Whether it be the cagey staff members, or the low attendance, the hotel has an undeniable eeriness hang

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 Review
Andy (Anne Hathaway) is back at Runway. After 20 years as an award winning journalist elsewhere, she's laid off when her company cuts its journalism budget. Miranda (Meryl Streep) is still running the show, but a lot has changed. The Devil Wears Prada 2 addresses traditional news media, how it's been affected over time, and the trajectory they are anticipating. The passion exists but the resources are limited. If you liked the humor in the first movie, you will most likely co

THE INVITE Review
Olivia Wilde invites four people to a dinner party and somehow makes you feel like you were also there, slightly drunk, increasingly uncomfortable, and absolutely unable to leave. The Invite is one of those films that knows exactly what it is doing from the first frame and executes it with such confidence that you stop trying to predict where it is going and just give in already. Which, fittingly, is also what the characters eventually have to do. Seth Rogen plays Joe, a form

OVER YOUR DEAD BODY Review
Married couple Dan (Jason Segel) and Lisa (Samara Weaving) go on a vacation with their own secret plans to kill each other. Shortly after finding out the other person's plan, those plans are interrupted when they find out two criminals and a police officer are hiding out in their cabin as well. Over Your Dead Body is written by comedy duo BriTANicK (Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher), who also wrote Pizza Movie, which came out on Hulu earlier this year. After watching both of t

DOLLY Review
You know a Shudder movie is a big deal when it gets a full theatrical release before it hits the horror streaming service. Previously, such films have included Late Night With The Devil and In A Violent Nature. These were efforts where there was clearly enough sentiment that they would do well in cinemas and draw in some more profit for the company, so they were released in theater months before they made their way to the service. In A Violent Nature finished with a modest bo

WASTEMAN Review
Let me tell you something about David Jonsson. The man has been in five films and already has a gaze that could make you feel personally responsible for every bad decision you have every made. In Wasteman he plays Taylor, a guy who has spent thirteen years in prison trying to become invisible, and Jonsson is so good at conveying that particular flavour of quiet desperation that I spent most of the runtime wanting to slide him a coffee and a hug through the screen. Then Tom Bl

I SWEAR Review
Before most American audiences had even heard of I Swear, the film had already been pulled into one of the uglier moments in recent awards history. At the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson — the real man on whose life the film is based — was seated in the audience while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo (Sinners) took the stage to present an award. During that moment, Davidson involuntarily shouted a racial slur, a direct result of his coprolal

MICHAEL Review
I want to start with a confession. When I heard Antoine Fuqua was making a Michael Jackson biopic, my first instinct was a very long, very tired sigh. We all know this story, We lived that story, Michael Jackson was so famous, so relentlessly documented, so mythologised in real time that a biopic feels almost redndant bedore it begins. And yet here I am, telling you that Michael got me. Not completely, not unconditionally, but genuinely. Let's get the obvious stuff out of the

JUST SING Review
Compared to the real-life Pitch Perfect , Just Sing is a new documentary that explores the world of collegiate a cappella. You might think "what is exciting about a cappella?", but once you watch Just Sing , you will understand. Following real-life students at Southern California University, Just Sing watches at the school club, the SoCal VoCal’s practice for the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. Directors Angelique Molina and Abraham Troen are both alumn

OMAHA Review
One day you can be on the top of the world, and the next you have hit rock bottom. Omaha follows a father (John Magaro) and his two young kids on a road trip. However, we learn this is not any old road trip, but one with no end destination. Before leaving, Ella’s (Molly Belle Wright) father asks her, "If there were a fire, what would you stop to grab?"

NORMAL Review
Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk) comes to Normal, Minnesota to be the interim sheriff, shortly after the town's previous sheriff died. After learning more about the town and meeting the people in it, including Mayor Kibner (Henry Wrinkler), Ulysses starts asking a lot of questions, suspicious of the story about how the sheriff died. He soon finds out that the town isn't as normal as it seems. The film itself, however, makes this clear right away by opening on a scene of the Yakuza send

MILE END KICKS Review
Messy, lost and broke are three ways to sum up being in your twenties. It's a time of confusion as you graduate from being a kid into young adulthood, forcing you to snap out of this carefree nature. Everywhere you look, it seems everyone has it together, and you are falling apart. This is how we meet Grace (Barbie Ferreira), living with her parents, unemployed, but determined to prove everyone wrong. A music critic with over 400 articles written at Spin Magazine, Grace is l

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY Review
"Don't worry, Grandma. It's fun to be dead." Let me start by clearing something up. No! Brendan Fraser is not in this film. Nor is Tom Cruise. In fact, Lee Cronin's The Mummy takes on a more grittier and gnarlier version of the known property that originated back in 1932, when Boris Karloff played the titular role. Cut to 2026 and we have Irish filmmaker, Lee Cronin ( Evil Dead Rise ), stepping into the director's chair and producers, Jason Blum ( Paranormal Activity ) and J

ROOMMATES Review
Luna (Storm Reid) and Auguste (Ivy Wolk) are freshman college roommates. What started as a joyous friendship has quickly gone sideways. How sideways? Auguste is currently throwing every last one of Luna's belongings out of their dorm window. Clothes. Trash. Even the air fryer. When that air fryer comes crashing down and takes out a food delivery robot, Dr. Schilling (Sarah Sherman) happens to be walking by. She puts an end to things immediately and calls both girls into her o

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE Review
Alright, let's talk about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie — and look, I'm going to be upfront with you right off the top: I am a Mario guy. Always have been. So take everything I'm about to say with that in mind. Because here's the thing — if you go into this film as a fan of the franchise, you're probably going to have a good time. And I did. I walked out giving it a solid 7 out of 10. But if you go in looking for a movie — like, an actual story with something meaningful to

ERUPCJA Review
Let me tell you about Rob. Rob ( Will Madden) is the kind of guy who plans things. He books restaurants in advance. He reads the reviews. He wanted to propose in Paris, which tells you everything you need to know about Rob: he is a good man, a careful man, a man who believes that love deserves a proper setting. He has a ring. He has a speech, probably. He had a whole vision of how the story was supposed to go. What Rob didn't have was a girlfriend who was anywhere near the s

THE CHRISTOPHERS Review
Departing from his most recent entries of a spy thriller and a ghost story, director Steven Soderbergh brings to life the world of two very different artists in his new film, The Christophers. From threatening to retire from directing to popping out three films in just over a year is impressive for any director, but doing three completely different genres proves why Soderbergh is one of today’s modern classic directors. A black comedy, The Christophers does a fantastic job of

EXIT 8 Review
Exit 8 is a Japanese movie adaption of the video game The Exit 8 . A man, played by Kazunari Ninomiya and credited as The Lost Man, finds himself trapped in an endlessly looping subway tunnel, trying to find exit 8. He soon learns the rules: if there is an anomaly in the current loop, he must turn back and go the other way. If there isn't an anomaly, he must keep going the way he is going. If he goes the correct way, the next exit goes up in number one by one until he reache

PIZZA MOVIE Review
There's a version of Pizza Movie that probably shouldn't work. Honestly, most versions of it shouldn't. And yet, somehow, this one does. Directed by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney, Pizza Movie follows two college roommates, Jack (Gaten Matarazzo) and Montgomery (Sean Giambrone), who make what feels like a very manageable decision. Take an experimental drug. Order a pizza. Stay in. Do nothing. That plan does not hold. What should be a lazy night quickly fractures into somet
