Sinners (2025) 98% “A vampire film, a historical drama, and a piece of elegantly crafted social horror all in one, it's a thrilling, absolutely addictive achievement, and a new American horror classic right from the start.” – Pop Heist Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Sacramento (2024) 89% “It's a movie that thrives on the little things, and when you're playing in a world this focused on character and the individual needs of each human mind and heart, that's always a winning formula.” – Pop Heist Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “ It's hard to avoid thinking about what could have been had things been a little narratively tighter, but if you like indie anthologies with a little unhinged energy to them, or you just like Pedro Pascal, you'll feel right at home.” – Pop Heist Apr 4, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% 6.0/10 “There’s a lot of talent on the screen, some catchy music, and some wonderful visuals and design choices, but none of it ever quite adds up to something bigger, leaving us with a film that’s ambitious but strangely hollow.” – Paste Magazine Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Control Freak (2025) 64% “Control Freak is a mess, but it's an often unsettling mess anchored by a good performance and strung through with memorable moments of terror. ” – Pop Heist Mar 14, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% B+ “ It’s one of the creepiest, smartest horror films so far this year, and one won’t soon forget Jenny Pen’s haunting, hollow eyes” – AV Club Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% 9/10 “"The Monkey" is a deranged face-melter, just waiting for throngs of horror fans to bask in its madness. ” – Looper.com Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 81% “Funny, scary, and packed with beautifully orchestrated moments of romance, it's the must-see film of Valentine's Day this year, whether you're usually into horror movies or not.” – Pop Heist Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 6.8/10 “Though Quan and supporting cast are often a delight, and the film’s fight scenes are worth strapping in for, this is a movie that makes a choppy mess of its brisk runtime, and wastes a lot of its potential with a molasses-slow, often baffling second act.” – Paste Magazine Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 94% “t's a raucous, wild 90 minutes at the movies, and when it's over you'll want to bring your friends back to the theater for more.” – Pop Heist Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% “Soderbergh has, once again, achieved a perfect marriage of form and narrative and delivered an essential modern horror film.” – Pop Heist Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% “It's a directionless, if competently made, exercise in glancing blows, and a horror film that, by the time the credits roll, seems to have lost its bite entirely.” – Pop Heist Jan 17, 2025 Full Review A Different Man (2024) 93% “It's one of those films packed with so many layers that you'll want to see it again and again just to find them all, and an essential piece of 2024 cinema now available to a wider audience.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% “He doesn't always reach what he's after, but when Eastwood and his tremendous ensemble cast are rooting around in the shadows between clear rights and wrongs, this film absolutely shines. Juror #2 is one of the year's most confidently made adult dramas.” – Pop Heist Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 10/10 “"Nosferatu" is a beautifully crafted, endlessly compelling nightmare that will envelop you in its shifting, writhing darkness and simply refuse to let go. ” – Looper.com Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “The sheer force of talent in front of and behind the camera ultimately wins out, and drawbacks aside, this is a movie you’ll want to experience on a massive screen. Let Ridley Scott’s directorial prowess wash over you, and you won’t be disappointed.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% “ It’ll hold the attention of kids and entire families, but it never comes close to the soaring adventure of the original. It’s a perfectly pleasant movie, but it could have been so much more.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Dear Santa (2024) 24% D “If Christmas movies can’t be good, they can usually at least be pleasant distractions. Dear Santa is neither. It’s a regrettable film, one that wasn’t ever worth the wordplay that started it.” – AV Club Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% ““Wicked” is a soaring, heartwarming fable that arrives at exactly the right moment for its audience, and delivers on years of well-deserved hype.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% “This is a straightforward, crystal clear drama, executed masterfully, and that makes it one of the most compelling films of the year.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% ““Woman of the Hour” is one of the best true crime feature films to come along in quite some time, a tremendous showcase for its director and star...” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Nov 2, 2024 Full Review It's What's Inside (2024) 79% 8.5/10 “iendishly clever, beautifully designed, and driven by a great ensemble, it’s a genre-hopping romp that plays like the perfect movie for a Friday night in October, even as it also functions as a nerve-shredding exploration of the masks we wear.” – Paste Magazine Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% B+ “It’s a recipe for setting an audience on edge, and the more it simmers, the more Heretic proves itself a compelling, inventive thriller driven by three great central performances.” – AV Club Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters (2022) “Even if you're a longtime fan of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Kevin Konrad Hanna and Jim Demonakos' intimate film about the comics legend will leave you struck by the details of his creative journey.” – Syfy Wire Sep 29, 2024 Full Review Wolfs (2024) 67% “he plot is clever, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the crime movie aspects are sharp, but in the end, for better and for worse, this is a movie running on pure, uncut star power, and if you buy into that power, it’s a joy to watch.” – The Huntsville Item (TX) Sep 27, 2024 Full Review
