There is something darkly beautiful about horror that commits to its metaphor so completely that it becomes absurd. Together, the debut feature film from Australian writer/director Michael Shanks, is nothing if not fully committed. What starts as a sharply observed domestic drama about a couple struggling with their future soon melts, drips, and mutates into a gnarly, inventive, and unexpectedly moving tale about toxic love, the follies of codependency, and the slippery definition of self when living in someone else’s orbit. In its best moments, it feels like a...

For years now, Disney has been mining its own animated canon in search of live-action gold, and more often than not, the results have ranged from slick but soulless (The Lion King) to pointless and forgettable (Aladdin). So it’s fair to say that expectations are mixed going into Lilo & Stitch, Dean Fleischer Camp’s live-action take on the scrappy, beloved 2002 original. Would it be yet another unnecessary do-over of a film that didn’t need fixing? Or could the studio capture some of the chaotic spirit and emotional...

Sometimes a movie knows exactly what it is, and Dangerous Animals is precisely that kind of film. From the moment it sinks its teeth into you, this sun-drenched, salt-streaked nightmare makes no apologies for what it’s serving up. It’s a lean, nasty survival thriller with a twisted sense of humour, a villain you’ll begrudgingly love to hate, and more blood in the water than a slaughterhouse drain. It’s also surprisingly stylish and frequently stomach-churning, a B-movie shocker wrapped in A24 gloss. Directed with panache by Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals...

If there’s one thing the Danny and Michael Philippou understand, it’s how to make discomfort crawl under your skin and stay there. With their 2022 debut Talk to Me, they turned grief and youthful recklessness into a supernatural punch to the gut. With their equally stellar sophomore effort, Bring Her Back, they take a more measured, colder approach. This time, the horrors are slower to announce themselves. The dread spreads gradually, thickening around you until it becomes hard to breathe. It's the kind of horror that trades the visceral...

There’s a moment halfway through Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme when Benicio del Toro’s Zsa-Zsa Korda turns to his estranged daughter and gravely declares, "This is the most important project of my lifetime." It's a line meant to underline the sweeping ambition of Korda's globe-spanning infrastructure scheme, but it also feels like Anderson speaking directly to us through his character. His latest film is a deeply stylised, impossibly dense, and at times deliberately opaque offering that aims for both grandeur and introspection. It's packed with ideas, stacked with stars,...

There’s something inherently satisfying about a franchise actually earning the right to go big. After almost three decades, countless stunts, and more masks than most spy thrillers know what to do with, Mission: Impossible has reached its climax. And Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, directed once again by Christopher McQuarrie, is the kind of film that only works because of everything that came before it. Is it a little overstuffed? Absolutely. Does it occasionally buckle under the weight of its own ambition? Without a doubt. But is it...

Fifteen years after the last instalment, Final Destination: Bloodlines arrives with the impossible task of resurrecting a franchise that felt more like a time capsule than a contemporary horror engine. The original Final Destination films thrived on their high-concept simplicity and rollercoaster Rube Goldberg kill scenes, but by the fifth entry, even die-hard fans began to admit the series had grown stale. So it's a genuine surprise (and a very welcome one) that this new entry manages not only to reinvigorate the series but also to do so...

Despite its rather obtuse title, the deliciously entertaining Clown in a Cornfield proves there’s still a world of teen slashers with bite, style, and something to say. Directed and co-written by Eli Craig, returning to horror after his cult treasure Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, this slick, brutal, and surprisingly subversive adaptation of Adam Cesare's novel of the same name walks a tricky tonal tightrope and rarely falters. It plays the hits that fans of '80s and '90s slashers crave, but it also lets a little modern-day bitterness bleed...

Let’s be real: no one expected Thunderbolts* to go this hard. Conceived as the MCU’s answer to The Suicide Squad or a replacement for the Guardians of the Galaxy, the film always risked becoming Marvel’s dumping ground for its least resolved B-players, a franchise palate-cleanser no one asked for. But under the direction of Thunderbolts* and a committed ensemble that works overtime to tether the bombast to something bruised and recognisably human, Thunderbolts* turns out to be something else entirely: a surprisingly moving, often funny, and at times...

Writer/director Ryan Coogler has never been a director to play it safe, but Sinners is undoubtedly his most audacious and ambitious swing yet—and one that connects with a mighty roar. Melding historical specificity with genre insanity, Southern folklore with blood-drenched pulp, and the visceral rhythm of Black music culture with supernatural horror, Sinners is the rare kind of film that doesn’t just entertain—it howls. It barrels into view with the swagger of a juke joint jam session and the dread of a sermon warning of hellfire, never once...
