Horror

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Its meditative, melancholic tone continues the franchise’s tradition of attending intelligently to the human dimension as much as to the eruptions of violence and jump scares.

Good Boy

Not since Benji has a dog actor—or dogter, if you will—managed such a range of emotion and vulnerability.

The Long Walk

The first novel by Stephen King finally reaches the big screen. The premise remains intact, as does its ambiguous setting. 

Weapons

The movie lays its cards on the table right away with a premise that works instantly on both visceral and emotional levels.

Together

Director Michael Shanks delivers a solid dose of horror, humor, and romance, proving just how mainstream and accessible body horror has become.

28 Years Later

Danny Boyle is back with one of his best films to date, once again sidestepping Hollywood’s expectations and conventions (this is, first and foremost, a British production).

Dangerous Animals

The past decade has seen a sharp uptick in horror films with art-house aspirations. The wonderfully paced and imaginative Dangerous Animals is not one of them.

Bring Her Back

The strongest asset and most captivating force here is Sally Hawkins. It’s a shame there’s not more Sally Hawkins on our screens every year.

The Ugly Stepsister

This is definitely not your Disney Cinderella. In this retelling, nausea and black comedy go hand in hand.
