After...erm, hooking us in with some nice atmosphere and what initially seems like an interesting take on the Candyman lore, DaCosta's film falls apart in its final act. Recensie
What Bruckner does do well is construct a few atmospheric sequences in which Beth, and we the audience, are tricked into thinking the outlines of inanimate objects represent some humanoid spook lurking in the house. The film's strengths ultimately are mostly down to the commitment of Hall, who really brings a gravitas to a role that fails to match her talents. Recensie
Cage's prolific output of recent decades was initially due to his crushing financial debts, but in the last few years he seems to have been picking movies he actually cares about. Like the physically bedraggled but intellectually astute man he plays here, Cage appears to now be living and working on his own terms, to the great benefit of movie audiences. Recensie
Pellerin is back, and once again he's playing a mentally challenged character. He's toned things down from the Eric Roberts on steroids performance of his previous Dupuis collaboration, and he's quite brilliant. Recensie
For all of its progressive intentions, Prophecy is ultimately a monster movie, and a pretty hackneyed one at that. Recensie
Alvarez's film was a tight, confined thriller that made great use of its single location and cleverly reversed the setup of Wait Until Dark. Sayagues' sequel is an unfocussed mess that suffers from an anti-hero we just can't sympathise with, confusing direction, laughable dialogue and a scuzzy worldview that prevents us from even enjoying its flaws on an ironic level. Recensie
The director doesn't ape the look of '80s movies – visually Censor has more in common with recent horrors like It Follows and The Neon Demon – but rather recreates the time with ugly fashions, horrific domestic décor and a wonderfully convincing recreation of the carriage of a period tube train. Recensie
Minamata makes for a passable entry point for an education on the horrors committed by Chisso in the name of profit. Recensie
In parts Bleed with Me relies a little too heavily on Single White Female-esque tropes, but there's an interesting movie buried amid the genre conventions here. I look forward to seeing if Moses can bring her voice to the fore in future works. Recensie
If you can swallow the unconvincing slices of thriller bread, the meat of McCarthy's latest parable of the kindness of strangers makes for a satisfying sandwich. Recensie
It's commendable that Bravo has taken what is essentially a rambling thread of verbal exposition and transformed it into such a cinematic piece of storytelling. Recensie
While Teddy doesn't quite land, there's no doubt a lot of talent on display here. As directors, the Boukhermas have done a remarkable job of mining performances from a largely inexperienced cast. Recensie
With a moody score by Fulci regular Fabio Frizzi and some beautiful framing by Fulci's go-to cameraman Sergio Slavati, The Psychic makes for a dreamlike sensory experience. But unlike many Italian genre movies of the period, The Psychic is a rarity in boasting a plot that actually makes sense and is easy to keep track of. Recensie
There's something wonderfully transgressive about how Charbonier and Powell have their leads clad in a symbol of American innocence - the Little League baseball kit. With an ambiguous absence of modern technology, The Boy Behind the Door has a timeless quality. Recensie
Some characters don't quite live up to their billing, but the key crew members are as fun a bunch of sociopaths as you could hope to spend a Saturday night at the movies with. Recensie
The best movies leave us wondering what's next for their protagonists. Lorelei leaves us feeling that Wayland, Dolores and her kids are facing a long, hard road. But if they face it as a family, they just might make it. Recensie
It's frustrating that Jolt's action scenes can't match the energy of Beckinsale's witty repartee, because this is the sort of gloriously silly action movie we just don’t get enough of today. Recensie
Halfway through Old, I couldn't wait for the movie to be over, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for Shyamalan's next movie. Recensie
There's enough material in the Maca to fuel an entire Oz-style TV show, so it's frustrating that so much of Night of the Kings' running time is spent stretching out a thin and barely interesting story. Recensie
Bustillo and Maury may be treading on dodgy ground here, but that's for Arab critics to decide. I'm just glad they managed to pull off a pacy, commendably schlocky horror movie that hints at societal and cultural issues without ever getting bogged down in them in the manner of many recent American genre efforts. Recensie
Prince's eyes go a long way to filling in some of the blanks here, but ultimately there are a few too many blanks left gaping by the film's end. Recensie
Whoever said revenge is a dish best served cold didn't have Riders of Justice in mind. Jensen takes the revenge thriller template and delivers one of the most warm-hearted movies you'll see all year. Recensie
This budding franchise doesn't even give us the fun of any elaborate deaths. The unlucky contestants just fall through holes, which allows the possibility for them to pop up later in the story, and also of course enables the film to court a teenage audience. Recensie
Was this trilogy ever really aimed at fans of horror movies, or did it set out to capture the attention of the fanbase for teen soap operas? Recensie
