Episode 99 – Malignant

Episode 98 – Candyman (2021)

While it’s hampered by a muddled climax, strong direction and performances make Nia DaCosta’s film a worthy heir to the Candyman mantle.

Episode 97 – The Night House

David Bruckner’s latest film benefits from a typically strong Rebecca Hall performance, a minimum of spookhouse nonsense, and an oppressive atmosphere – even if the closing line is a bit of a dud.

Episode 96 – Don’t Breathe 2

This unnecessary sequel makes a hero out of the villain of the original, gives him home field advantage, and thereby drains all suspense from the concept.

Episode 91 – False Positive

This Ilana Glazer vehicle grapples with some serious real-life issues, and elements of the film have a great deal of merit, but it also has a lot of problems – none more glaring than its WWE-inflected climax that makes a few tone-deaf choices.
