Oddity
This isn’t a story about twists and turns; this is about a mood. Even when I saw a reveal coming, I was entertained by the how.

Longlegs
Osgood Perkins effectively generates tension in individual scenes, but can’t quite sustain it throughout.

The Watchers
The movie itself isn’t particularly scary, but the setup, unsettling location and pacing went a long way in keeping my attention.

Civil War
Tense, thought-provoking and hard to shake.

Love Lies Bleeding
It is exciting to see a confident, assured, voice telling an oddly distinct female story. Rose Glass is one to watch and this is one to see.

Out Of Darkness
Overall, it is okay, with a few strong suspense scenes and, at only 82 minutes, it gets in and out efficiently.

Eileen
The sum of its parts may be greater than its whole. Still, this is an enjoyably low-key genre entry that values character over twists.

The Royal Hotel
A compelling, well-made, movie, with an effective setting and a strong performance from Julia Garner.

Hypnotic
There are flashes of the twisty fun this could have been here and there, but the result is lazy, sloppily written and surprisingly dull.

Cocaine Bear
The movie’s charm is partially due to the goofy set-pieces. But it is predominantly due to the idea of a bear doing lots of cocaine.
