Episode 143 – Knock at the Cabin

Featuring good performances but a slightly flabby second act, Knock at the Cabin settles comfortably into the middle tier of M. Night Shyamalan’s oeuvre. It doesn’t really work as a climate change allegory, though.

Episode 142 – Fear (2023)

Drab, incoherent, and brainless from start to finish, Fear is the result of director Deon Taylor hurling a bunch of tropes at the wall and seeing what sticks – and nothing does.

Episode 140 – M3GAN

A team-up of the talents behind Housebound and Malignant should have been a slam dunk, but don’t believe the hype – M3GAN is an assembly-line-style dud.

Episode 139 – Skinamarink

Skinamarink is not a perfect film, but it’s so weird and singular that we might not change a thing about it.

Episode 138 – Nanny (2022)

Nanny is visually gorgeous and chock-full of great performances, but eventually descends into “fugue soup,” and the overwhelming water motif spoils the ending.

Episode 137 – Something in the Dirt

While intriguing and loaded with personality, Something in the Dirt would have benefited from a little more structure and stronger distinctions between John and Levi’s dialogue.

Episode 136 – Bones and All

While not quite up to the standards of his prior work, Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal romance road movie is moody, occasionally arresting, and driven by good performances all around.

Episode 135 – The Menu (2022)

Even if The Menu doesn’t qualify as horror comedy haute cuisine, there are some tasty morsels knocking around in there. Ralph Fiennes is a delight.

Episode 134 – V/H/S/99

V/H/S/99 marks the series’ full-on tonal shift into Creepshow-esque horror comedy, which ultimately proves detrimental. Better than V/H/S Viral, but that’s not saying much.
