Review: With a laser focus on putting its hero through the worst night of his life, Resident Evil is a simple and exciting survival horror story that benefits greatly from director Zach Cregger’s sensibilities.

Zach Cregger admitted that he was “naive” to think his less-direct approach to adapting Resident Evil would be universally well-received by fans after deliberately choosing to avoid retelling the story exactly as it unfolds in the games.

Onslaught rips. Adam Wingard's ode to '80s action movies features stellar performances, cool villains, and a down-and-dirty feel that make it a very easy recommendation.

Review: Buddy sees Too Many Cooks director Casper Kelly overcome some significant pacing hitches to deliver a singular horror-comedy that delights in subverting the treacly sweetness of kids’ TV with lots of sticky blood and a smart take on some heavier themes.

Review: Spider-Man: Brand New Day effectively refocuses on the most reliable pillars of the webslinger: swinging around NYC saving the day and looking cool while doing so.

If you’re looking for a Star Wars movie that thrills, surprises, challenges, or demonstrates a vested interest in seeing its characters grow and change… The Mandalorian and Grogu is not the way.

There's a new Toy Story on the horizon, but what is Taylor Swift's role in the fifth film in the Pixar series? We think we have a pretty good idea.

Review: Project Hail Mary is a rollicking sci-fi blockbuster celebrating how much we can accomplish when we work together… and how much meet-cute mileage you can get out of watching Ryan Gosling befriend a rock alien for two and a half hours.

Ready or Not 2 Review: an agreeable, if unnecessary sequel which, through its larger scale, proves that less is often more.

Writer-director Zach Cregger blends unbearable tension and dark humor once more in Weapons.

Undertone Review: Effectively moody, but disjointed and over-reliant on played-out horror audio gags, Undertone sounds better in concept than it plays on screen.

Review: Scream 7 brings back series OGs Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell to pack in plenty of satisfying slasher action, even if it gets a little too comfortable playing the hits (and deep cuts and killer tracks).

“The Black Spot” features some of the best performances of the season, and takes off flying with a stellar, Pennywise-focused prologue. Though the Augery is intense as hell, the aftermath and laughable motives of the military leave Welcome to Derry’s penultimate episode feeling like it’s running out of steam as it goes along.

Despite a recycled plot and some jokes that land with a thud, this is another goofy, raucous ride.

“In the Name of the Father” does a good job of re-establishing the stakes going into Welcome to Derry’s fast-approaching Augery, as the fallout of Pennywise’s emergence forces characters to get their priorities in order.

It: Welcome to Derry - Episode 4 Review: “The Great Swirling Apparatus of Our Planet's Function” meaningfully moves forward every one of Welcome to Derry’s storylines, packs a wallop on the horror front, and reveals some interesting new details about Pennywise’s initial arrival in Derry millions of years in the past - just the shot in the arm Welcome to Derry needed halfway into its first season.

Osgood Perkins’ latest dark trip has a powerful Tatiana Maslany performance and cool aesthetics to thank for keeping Keeper from getting completely lost in the woods.

Dick Hallorann’s introduction to Pennywise and some interesting backstory for General Shaw aside, both the horror and drama are lacking in IT: Welcome to Derry’s largely inert third episode.
