‘The Unheard’ Review
Suspense and catharsis are mined from the same place in Jeffrey Brown's plodding horror/drama.
‘A Wounded Fawn’ Review
Travis Stevens's movie starts out narratively straightforward before shifting into another thing entirely, with the force of a snapping bone.
‘Speak No Evil’ Review
This amusingly grim Sundance stunner arrives on Shudder this week, and ruptures through the limits of fiction when it’s at its best.
‘The Last Thing Mary Saw’ Review
The first feature from writer-director Edoardo Vitaletti takes some of the best lessons from "The Witch," but its narrative is missing momentum.
‘Caveat’ Review
If you're looking for minimal, unpredictable counterprogramming to the blockbuster scale of "The Conjuring 3," "Caveat" will do spooky wonders.
'Lucky' Review
Natasha Kermani's new movie has whiffs of belonging in the busy time-loop subgenre, but it turns those attributes into a commentary that's all its own.
‘Anything for Jackson’ Review
What the highly effective “Anything for Jackson” proves is that, for all his time in Christmasmovieland, Justin Dyck clearly found time to remain versed in the language of modern horror. This is a small-scale tale of Satanic suspense that finds success in how self-aware it is. Two committed lead performances anchor the movie, and the range they’re asked to cover (and cover it they do) is wonderfully summed up with this line: “We have to keep up appearances.”
