"Cheers! To your perfect family." We've finally made it to the most anticipated film of 2026 for sickos. And the film I'm referring to is Evil Dead Burn! I don't know about anyone else, but I've been pretty hyped to see this entry ever since they showed off a teaser trailer in front of Lee Cronin's The Mummy. Despite not being a big horror aficionado like my colleagues, I've slowly become a fan of these grotesque films. In fact, I made an attempt to revisit some of the earlie

"Hasta la vista, baby." Terminator 2: Judgment Day was one of the more revolutionary films made at the time, seeing as CGI wasn't used as often as it is nowadays. In fact, I'm pretty sure this and Jurassic Park were one of the early films that showcased a lot of groundbreaking visual effects work. As for the film itself? Well, I personally loved it back when I first saw it and still love it to this day. Not only is it a great continuation of what James Cameron did on the firs

I like to imagine I'm really confusing the hell out of the little gremlin personally in charge of my Tubi algorithm. In recent months, Tubi has become one of my favorite streaming services. Its movie selection is almost unparalleled, and it has a wide array of both big name flicks and independent outings exclusive to the streamer. While most other services are clogging up with series and shows--I don't have the time commitment those require!--Tubi remains mostly dedicated to

Kraken opens on old news footage. Eyewitness interviews. People describing something massive in the water near a Norwegian fjord. The helicopters searched. They found nothing. Cut to present day. Two kids on a jet ski fall into the water and don't come back up. Johanne (Sara Khorami) is a marine researcher who gets called in to inspect a fish farm in Vangsnes. Her first instinct is to pass. She has her reasons. Then she sees video of fish voluntarily jumping out of the water

Disclosure Day finds Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor) as a cybersecurity expert who steals a piece of extraterrestrial technology from the Wardex corporation, containing proof of multiple instances of alien contact. Intent on exposing the truth to the public, Daniel becomes the target of Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth), who sends federal authorities to hunt him down, forcing Daniel and his girlfriend Jane (Eve Hewson) to go into hiding. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, meteorol

I've written so many times about Shudder. No other streaming service brings me as much joy while, at the same time, also inflicting upon me so much suffering. Shudder Roulette is real; I never have any idea what I am going to get from that service. I was quite pleased earlier this year with Honey Bunch, sure. But it's been rough sledding since then. Just one disappointment after another for me. Nothing else has even hit close to my top ten of the year, even at this point. Hon

No one has ever made a film about weather forecasting before, and somehow, inexplicably, it is one of the most tense things I have watched this year. With Pressure, Anthony Maras has taken a story about a Scottish meteorologist arguing with an American meteorologist over whether it will rain on June 5th, 1944, and turned it into something that had me actually leaning forward in my seat. The fate of the entire Allied invasion of Europe rests on a man reading cloud formations c

Betrayal, espionage, and a whole lot of cigarette smoking, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War picks up where the Prime Series left off. Our titular leading man, Jack Ryan (John Krasinski), is back, but rather than the abrasive CIA agent we know and love him to be, this time he is a civilian. At the end of season 4, Jack had testified before the Senate, exposing high levels of government corruption. Leaving him to be a regular man. That is, until Ghost War ropes Jack back into

Niki (Leo Woodall) is a piano tuner with perfect pitch. He works with a good family friend and father figure Harry (Dustin Hoffman), and together they drive around tuning pianos. He suffers from hyperacusis, causing him to have incredible sensitivity to loud noises, keeping him from playing the piano, which he has an incredible gift for. While on the job he meets Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu) and quickly becomes infatuated with her. Along the way, he realizes his hyperacusis give

Margot (Barbie Ferreira) works as a content moderator for a video-sharing platform, where her job is to filter out disturbing content before it reaches the public. She comes across a series of videos involving mannequins committing brutal murders, and assumes they are likely fake. As more of the videos surface, she begins to suspect they might be real. She drives herself to madness in pursuit of the killer, bringing to light some of her own complicated history with internet f

"You killed him." "No, I shot him. Bullets and the fall killed him." Do you love Michael Mann films? How about one with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, driving all around Los Angeles for one whole night? Then we got a movie for you named Collateral . It's a high-octane, fast-paced, action thriller with a nail-biting story and a couple of terrific performances by our two leads. The film revolves around cab driver, Max, who picks up Vincent and offers the man $600 to drive him aroun

We are living in the weirdest timeline: one where there is a whole cinematic universe of action movies based around ballerinas . With two movies in the last few years simply having been called " Ballerina " (okay, I guess the John Wick spin-off had a subtitle) and being about a ballet dancer who goes on a revenge tour against those who have wronged her, you can be excused for thinking there is a lack of originality in the film world. Amazon Prime Video decided to get in on

Redele Riding (Victoria Tait) has been expelled from school and is doing her best to hold things together. She's living with her one-armed mother, Scarlet who is slowly disappearing into her heroin addiction. When Scarlet finally overdoses, Red is left with no money, no plan, and no options. She gets sent to live with her estranged grandmother Penelope (Lynsey Beauchamp), a Scottish aristocrat with a large estate in the Highlands. It's about as far from Red's London flat as y

Within the Miami-Dade County police department is a specialized unit known as the TNT (Tactical Narcotics Team). Before we even get introduced to the members of the TNT, we see the unit lead, Captain Jackie Velez (Line Esco) get murdered in cold blood. It just so happens that there are rumors the TNT is housing dirty cops who, when busting a drug house, will wind up robbing the house and reporting far less cash than what was actually on-site. So it is only natural that Intern

( This review originally appeared in its entirety on scenethatreviews.com ) Who's ready for some reviews from the 29th PÖFF | Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival! First up, from the “First Feature Competition”, comes… Interior (2025). As we first meet Kasimir (Daniil Kremkin), he’s climbing out of a couch with a camcorder, while wearing nothing but underwear and socks. As he emerges from the department within the couch, he makes his way upstairs where he takes the camcorder a
