31. Repulsion (1965)
Deneuve embodies trauma in a layered, understated performance, alternating between dissociative catatonia & unraveling mania. Slow & keenly effective, it depicts fear of predatory men with psychological acuity, realizing one particularly memorable sequence of surreal terror 8/10

30. Frankenstein (2025)
Sumptuous visuals, probing philosophy & Elordi’s performance elevate this as the best adaptation I’ve seen. Moments feel clunky & the frame narrative isn’t great, but the sum of its parts makes for a grand experience, part verbose & operatic, part pensive & meditative. 7-8/10

29. Relic (2020)
Patiently reveals the degrading creep of dementia, equally frightening & devastating in its steady, exacting approach. Deviates into representational horror near the end, slightly less impactful than the excellent family drama prior, resonating thanks to its great performances. 7/10

28. Abigail (2024)
The premise is neat on paper as an inversion on a siege film with vampires, but the execution makes for bland tedium, with paper-thin, obnoxious characters navigating a crude whodunit, devolving to boilerplate splatter horror with exceedingly dumb twists & an overlong climax. 3/10

27. The Vourdalak (2023)
Puppetry realizes the titular ghoul, establishing a unique look above already commendable period design. Wry humor & compelling performances lend it charm & substance, with rich writing making articulate, progressive statements despite the plot being fairly trope-laden. 7/10

Rewatching all of King of the Hill in prep for the reboot has been a total blast! So many gags I couldn’t have picked up when I was eight years old. Please enjoy the unnecessarily clean animation of Hank heel clicking - it fucking sent me

26. Blink Twice (2024)
Approaches grave content with an irksome vapidness attributable to clunky writing, awkward humor & overstated cinematic instincts. The mystery is considered & fittingly disturbing at points, but the execution elsewhere feels tasteless, especially its girlboss denouement 3-4/10

25. Weapons (2025)
The hyperlink structure weaves mystery & payoff with expert care. Initially perplexing in shocking bursts of violence everything satisfyingly coheres come its highly tense and gut-bustingly funny climax. The entire cast is solid, with pathos found in every primary perspective 8/10

24. Sinners (2025)
Ultra Panavision 70 stock imbues the imagery with striking, intense perspective. Goransson’s quasi-diegetic score, spanning a variety of genres, serves the commentary on cultural lineage very well. The craft is undeniably on point, yet some pacing & narrative issues linger. 7-8/10

23. 28 Years Later (2025)
The score by Young Fathers is harrowing, transcendent & moving, a perfect complement to this series. A rousing 1st act of zombie peril then settles into a coming-of-age tale of grief, where thematic coherence is undermined by narrative investments in future sequels. 6-7/10

22. Starve Acre (2023)
It depicts a grief that doesn’t register as authentic. An emotionally constipated air hangs over the performances, only occasionally convincing us. The folk horror is largely unimaginative, the resolution in particular is p deflating & anticlimactic. I liked the rabbit. 2-3/10

21. Strawberry Mansion (2020)
Offers derivative insights on how consumerism encroaches upon the subconscious. Indulges in such Gondry worship it becomes nauseatingly quirky, emphasizing zany, if charmingly analog, aesthetics to serve a manic pixie romance over substance. Deacon’s score is solid 5/10

20. Strange Darling (2023)
Its musical stings, long drawn dialogue, chaotic violence & non-linearity debt Tarantino, tho it satisfies as its own thing. Fitzgerald & Gallner are excellent. Stretches credulity by the end, plenty of dubious narrative beats persist, but it’s a compelling ride prior 6/10

19. Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)
The family drama lends a mild pathos & a neat mechanic to structure the plot. While self-awareness doesn’t wholly absolve its dumber contrivances, it crafts an exaggerated setup, misdirect & payoff with such morbid relish that the crude fun is undeniable 5-6/0

18. Red Rooms (2023)
A very disturbing examination of evil as it operates in digital anonymity & how the product of morbid spectacle born from this monstrous sadism casts a desensitizing spell, slowly revealing hyper-fixation with true crime as a pernicious gateway to abject loss of humanity. 7-8/10

17. Oddity (2024)
Constructs a fairly smart murder mystery that rewards hindsight, utilizing the country home setting in thematically relevant ways & delivering on the titular supernatural setpiece in a satisfying, restrained manner. The ending is a tad lackluster, but the story remains sound 6-7/10

This being a Kostanski joint, it delivers on fun animatronics & puppetry. The dry humor is cranked up so arid that it really could use a touch more wit & spontaneity, feeling kind of insistent on one-note irony. Still a good, goofy time abundant with charming visuals 5-6/10

Simple & effective at generating distressing pity for these doomed boys. The cast is solid, with the brotherly chemistry between Hoffman & Jonsson elevating things to emotional resonance. Still, the script can ring as belabored & the broadness of the satire is very YA 6-7/10
