Episode 169 – V/H/S/85

The latest installment in the long-running anthology franchise is a step back up from V/H/S/99, but still doesn’t hit the same sweet spot as the first two films.

Episode 168 – Immaculate (2024)

While the ending isn’t quite as balls-to-the-wall as some of the buzz might have you believe, Immaculate is buoyed by a strong central performance and atmosphere to spare.

Episode 167 – Imaginary (2024)

Unlike Fantasy Island, the last Jeff Wadlow film we reviewed, the whackadoo third-act shenanigans on offer here aren’t fun-bad… they’re just a chore.

Episode 166 – Out of Darkness

A taut, engaging thrill ride with gorgeous visuals and impressive sound design, Out of Darkness almost completely overcomes an ending that might not work for some.

Episode 165 – No One Will Save You

Strong sound and creature design fail to overcome a no-dialogue gimmick that doesn’t always work and an ending that, while conceptually interesting, remains flawed.

Episode 164 – Night Swim

There wasn’t enough meat on these bones to turn this short into a viable feature, and yet Bryce McGuire left some behind in favor of a grab-bag of tired and disconnected horror tropes.

Episode 163 – Lord of Misrule

William Brent Bell’s latest is a cut above most of his other work, which is to say it’s a run-of-the-mill folk horror film with a lousy ending.

Episode 162 – Thanksgiving

An improvement over some of Eli Roth’s more risible work, Thanksgiving is a refreshingly old-fashioned slasher that nonetheless feels rather predictable and thin.

Episode 161 – Five Nights at Freddy’s

The video game series doesn’t hold a special place in either of our hearts, but the film adaptation is not the wholesale disaster social media makes it out to be.

Episode 160 – The Exorcist: Believer

David Gordon Green’s latest attempt at a legacy sequel to a landmark horror film has more in common with The Exorcist’s legion of shoddy imitators than it does with the source material itself.
