7 new flicks to break down this week. What are you seeing?

“Director Sam Hargrave (the Extraction films) puts his action skills to work for a minor league True Lies that keeps a kid-friendly, almost parody feel amid all the violence and explosions.”

“The cast alone is enough to keep you watching. But after borrowing a twist from a similar classic, Netflix’s Animals settles into a comfort zone that is just too comfortable.”

“Like a lot of imaginary friend horror films, Other Mommy writes itself into a bind it can’t entirely escape. But it throws enough random insanity at you that things never feel predictable. It’s not an uncontested win, but Other Mommy delivers creepiness that picks a particular scab.”

Never After Dark delivers on its earliest promise of a stylish supernatural thriller, but isn’t afraid to get nasty here and there. The combination gives the horror a little substance and the style a nice punch. In theaters.

“The Social Reckoning probably won’t surprise you with how obscene this all has become. But it might help you reconsider your own algorithms, and it will definitely remind you of the type of courage and integrity that still defines the best of us.”

10 new movies to break down this week!

Definitely!

Beware Boiuna is a fun creature feature:

“Hell, a year from now I may wish I’d given Digger five stars, or two. But right now, I’m glad it’s given me this much to think about.”

We got an early look at Mike Flanagan’s new Carrie series:

Ghost in the Cell showcases Anwar’s knack for truly ghastly body horror with a buoyant camaraderie, proletariat zeal, and well-placed bursts of comedy. In theaters 10/2.

This is part of our “Villain Diaries” series, micro short films from the POV of villains. The villain here is Pumpkin Lady, a soon to come feature starring Hope in the title role!
