Other Mommy Review: Fear the Momster
Movie Review Other Mommy 8/10 TLDR Josh Malerman wrote a scary book and Rob Savage made a freakier movie out of it, which almost never happens. Jessica Chastain plays both halves of one nightmare and you trust neither, while seven-year-old Arabella Olivia Clark carries nearly the whole thing. It sags a little at both ends,…

The Social Reckoning: Whistleblowers, Facebook, and Fallout
Movie Review The Social Reckoning 9/10 TLDR Aaron Sorkin’s companion to The Social Network trades the founding for the fallout, and it’s a genuine surprise. Mikey Madison proves her Oscar was no fluke, Jeremy Strong builds a Zuckerberg entirely his own, and scrambled timelines make a story you already know feel suspenseful. The Facts Synopsis:…

Below Review: Netflix Sea Monster Series Sinks Its Own Suspense
TV Review Below (2026) 4/10 TLDR Below opens with a haunting image of a house floating across Newfoundland’s open water, then buries its sea monster under hunters, scientists, developers, a thief and a festival. Hartnett and Davis do what they can, but the accents wander and the plot wanders further. Jaws knew one monster was…

Beware Boiúna Review: A Reptile Dysfunction
Movie Review Beware Boiúna 6/10 TLDR Kiana Madeira leads a committed cast through a sweaty jungle creature feature with more on its mind than feeding a giant snake. The tension and environmental angle work better than the murky action, which hides too much of the monster we came to see. The Facts Synopsis: Deep in…

Digger Review: Tom Cruise Digs Deep in Iñárritu’s Wild Satire
Movie Review DIGGER 8/10 TLDR Digger’s opening sensory overload nearly lost me, but a shift I won’t reveal gave the excess a purpose. Cruise’s dramatic commitment, a terrific ensemble, and sensational VistaVision photography make it worth staying to the end. The Facts Synopsis: Digger Rockwell, an oil tycoon and the most powerful man in the…

Bloody Tennis Review: Horror Grand Slam or Genre Double Fault?
Movie Review Bloody Tennis 2/10 TLDR Bloody Tennis has an academy setting ripe for horror but very little idea how to make its cruelty compelling. Uneven performances, distracting dialogue, and weak momentum turn the promising setup into a laborious experience. The Facts Synopsis: Sophie is admitted to an elite tennis academy hidden deep in the…

Family Review: Artful Horror That Can’t Commit to Scare
Movie Review Family 6/10 TLDR Ruth Wilson, Ben Chaplin, and Cameron Dawson Gray give Family a convincing domestic pressure. The creepy imagery and careful craft are worth seeing, but the script’s shifting attention weakens the emotional impact and the scares. The Facts Synopsis: Ten-year-old Johanna and her parents, Naomi and Harry, move back into Naomi’s…

Never After Dark Review: Smart Haunting, Weak Tension
Movie Review Never After Dark 6/10 TLDR Never After Dark creates an intriguing world of professional ghost work, with distinctive rituals and practical effects. Moeka Hoshi gives it a strong center, but its shifting narrative never builds the sustained tension I wanted. The Facts Synopsis: Airi is a wandering medium who spends her life guiding…

The Influencer Project Review: When Followers Become a Threat
Movie Review The Influencer Project 6/10 TLDR Chiara King gives The Influencer Project a protagonist worth worrying about, and the camera-based scares are often effective. Logical gaps and an overlong runtime keep it from fully delivering on its creepy premise. The Facts Synopsis: British beauty and lifestyle influencer Chiara King travels to Copenhagen with a…

Tommy & Tuppence on BritBox: A Modern Agatha Christie Delight
Movie Review Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence 7/10 TLDR Antonia Thomas and Josh Dylan make this modern Christie update an inviting mix of romance and mystery. The plotting takes a back seat to their chemistry, with Imelda Staunton adding another excellent reason to settle in. The Facts Synopsis: A contemporary reworking of Christie’s Tommy and…
