| A Quiet Place: Day One | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Any time you can watch a film with giant extra-terrestrials bearing ear drums where a face should be and you find yourself fully believing anything, you’re watching a pretty good movie. A Quiet Place: Day One is a pretty good movie. |
| American Mary | 2013 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The images are bright, crisp and classy and at the same time so very wrong – just like Mary. |
| Ashkal | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Simultaneously pessimistic and hopeful, grim and beautiful, Ashkal is a meditation on modern times. |
| Blink Twice | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - What Kravitz delivers instead is a seductive, tense, satisfying thriller. |
| Cocaine Bear | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - For a very dark comedy, Cocaine Bear is light entertainment. It’s hard to imagine expecting anything more. |
| Coming Home in the Dark | 2021 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Coming Home in the Dark offers a spare but unblinking span of gritty, punishing thrills. |
| Conjuring, The | 2013 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Yes, this is an old fashioned ghost story, built from the ground up to push buttons of childhood terror. |
| Crumb Catcher | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Skotchdopole’s managed a tightwire of tones, delivering a tense and compelling thriller that turns banality into a weirdly funny nightmare. |
| Evil Dead Rise | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - In fact, he uses disorienting angels and shots throughout the film to beautifully bewildering effect. |
| Freaky | 2020 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s a bloody riot, and Vince Vaughn hasn’t been this much fun since Old School. |
| Immaculate | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Immaculate digs into the way organized religion constrains, punishes, silences, bullies, vilifies and oppresses women and then unleashes glorious fury. Fearless, cathartic, bloody, beautifully sacrilegious fury. |

| Invader | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Invader delivers a spare, nasty, memorable piece of horror in just over an hour. It will stick with you a while longer. |
| John Wick: Chapter 4 | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s a love letter to a canon, a song about the entire history of onscreen assassins and their honorable, meticulous action. |
| La llorona | 2019 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Bustamante’s film is a slow boil as interested in those who’ve tacitly accepted evil as it is in those who’ve committed it. |
| Love Lies Bleeding | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s quite something—bold, original, and wryly funny in the most unexpected moments. There’s heartbreak and horror, sex and revenge, a little magic and a lot of steroids. Glass’s juice has the goods. |
| Mami Wata | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Mami Wata is a spectacle of water and light. Raindrops on a forehead, seashells in a braid, sea spray as day turns to night – Obasi builds an otherworldly atmosphere from moments like these. |

| Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The MI franchise lives and dies on two things: Ethan Hunt’s humanity and Tom Cruise’s willingness to risk his own life for thrilling stunts. Expect both – aplenty! – in Episode 7. |

| Nitram | 2021 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - But it’s Landry Jones you’ll remember. He’s terrifying but endlessly sympathetic in a bleak film that’s a tough but rewarding watch. |
| Resurrection | 2022 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The fact that both Hall and Roth take the story seriously, never play it for laughs, and remain so understated in their performances creates a diabolical atmosphere. You’re as unmoored as Margaret. |
| Saltburn | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s tough to watch a film that asks you to empathize with, much less pity, the grotesquely wealthy. Luckily, Fennell doesn’t. |
| Saltburn | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s tough to watch a film that asks you to empathize with, much less pity, the grotesquely wealthy. Luckily, Fennell doesn’t. |
| Satanic Hispanics | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - But the collection absolutely boasts some inspired talent having a blast, and when is that ever a bad thing to witness? |
| Scream | 2022 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - It’s a standalone blast. But if you grew up on these movies, this film is like a bloody message of love for you. |
| Sissy | 2022 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Dee works wonders as a woman trying to practice what she preaches, earn from what she practices, and find fulfillment in online followers when friends IRL are less welcoming. |
| The Attachment Diaries | 2021 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The Attachment Diaries is a dark, bizarre mystery thriller that flirts with B-movie status in a way that somehow makes the experience richer than it had any real right to be. |
| The Five Devils | 2022 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - This is an unusual film, generous with its characters even as it looks at the selfishness of love, the neediness within family, and the strange battles we fight. |
| The Innocents | 2021 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The Innocents is a film that sneaks up on you, rattles you, and sticks around for a while after the credits roll. |
| The Last Stop in Yuma County | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The Last Stop in Yuma County is a single-location film done extremely well, mining visual details in place of exposition, relying on character to enrich its slight premise, and delivering giddy tension. It’s full of fun, blood and surprises. |
| The Matrix Resurrections | 2021 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The strange synergy between the logical evolution of Anderson/Neo’s story and Wachowski’s rage is what makes The Matrix Resurrection strangely satisfying. |
| The Sacrifice Game | 2023 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The film looks fantastic, and though the storyline itself is clearly familiar, Wexler’s script, co-written with Sean Redlitz, feels consistently clever. |
| The Wasp | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Whatever its dramatic contrivances, and there are a few, the success of The Wasp boils down to riveting, believable performances that command your attention. |
| Things Will Be Different | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - Thanks to sharp writing, stylish direction and a couple of well-crafted performances, he further separates his time travel fantasy from the scores of others and keeps you guessing until the last, powerful frame. |
| You Won't Be Alone | 2022 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - His fractured storytelling suits his purposes of exploring gender identity and the nature of humanity. |
| You'll Never Find Me | 2024 | 85 | 23 | (full review) - The third act doesn’t entirely deliver on the promise made earlier in the film, but Bell and Allen have crafted an unsettling and spooky feast for the senses. |
| 15 Cameras | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - There’s nothing groundbreaking about 15 Cameras, but what it does, it does well. |
| 8 Found Dead | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - 8 Found Dead, the Airbnb etiquette horror from Travis Greene, brings the goods when it comes to villains. |
| A Wounded Fawn | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - The final image – unblinking, lengthy, horrible and fantastic – cements A Wounded Fawn as an audacious success. |
| Abigail | 2024 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - It’s fun, though. And when it decides to finally get bloody, it may not leave a lasting impression, but it definitely makes a mess. |
| Achoura | 2020 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Children in peril, cool creature design and a monster that still feels new, even though it’s centuries old. |
| Alone with You | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - But the reason it works as well as it does is because Alone with You becomes a cagey allegory. |
| Becky | 2020 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - The film is bloody, angry and, even for its fairly formulaic premise, unpredictable. |
| Birth/Rebirth | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - All of it pulls the psychological scabs of exhausted parenting. |
| Breaking | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - For a film trapped primarily in a single space, Breaking creates something tragically universal, but it never betrays its hard-won intimacy. |
| Brooklyn 45 | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Goeghegan delivers some jump scares and some gore, but what his film finds scariest is what lies in a beating human heart. |
| Burial | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - It’s an understated effort more interested in kicking around how toxic hateful leaders can be once they strike a chord with like-minded populations. |
| Candy Land | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Candy Land is a tough film to recommend for a number of reasons, but it’s worthwhile viewing if only because Swab upends every expectation, instead taking us inside a horror grounded in something surprisingly human. |
| Club Zero | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - In Club Zero, luxury and loneliness meet a culture of competition to create an environment ripe for radicalization. |
| Dr. Cheon and the Lost Talisman | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - There’s a weird charm to it that might particularly delight those who like their scary movies not too scary. |
| Encounter | 2021 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - The filmmaker and his game lead challenge expectations both in theme and in genre, and while their gamble doesn’t entirely pay off, it’s often riveting stuff. |
| Faceless After Dark | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - But as a showcase for Kanell’s charisma, and an often satisfying reaction to the rampant misogyny in cinema and particularly in fan culture, it’s fun. |
| Humane | 2024 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - An intriguing premise buoyed with darkly comedic performances, plus a brisk 90 minute runtime keep Humane entertaining, but it’s hard not to feel a bit disappointed. |
| It's a Wonderful Knife | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - It’s not as raucous as Kennedy’s Freaky nor as badass as MacIntyre’s Tragedy Girls, but it is a bloody slice of Christmas fun. |
| Leave | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Herron’s atmosphere makes the safe look seedy and the dangerous appear benign, but there is more depth to the tale than that. |
| Maggie | 2015 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - It’s a small film that explores something relatable and intimate, even if it chooses an unusual setting to do it. |
| Master Gardener | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - But forgiveness comes too easy for this damaged antihero, and Master Gardener feels too much like Schrader light. |
| Mother, May I? | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Writer/director Laurence Bannicelli’s thriller feels like a premise born of either a therapy session or a bad relationship – or, more likely, a bad relationship born of group counseling. |
| Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - If you loved the original (or ‘97s solid remake with Ewan McGregor), Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever delivers bittersweet closure. But it’s an entertaining if not fantastic watch for thriller fans new to the franchise as well. |
| Orphan: First Kill | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Orphan: First Kill goes in unexpected places, many of them an absolute hoot. |
| Out Come the Wolves | 2024 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Though small cast plus limited location generally equals low budget, Out Come the Wolves boasts impressive production values. |
| Slash/Back | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Innuksuk has a lot of fun reconsidering John Carpenter’s The Thing – the tale of an invasive species and the terrifying havoc it can wreak – from the perspective of four indigenous teens. |
| Sting | 2024 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Here he channels affection for a wide range of creature features (he really loves Alien) but still manages to create something decidedly his own. |
| The Advent Calendar | 2021 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - It’s a clever sleight of hand, Ridremont taking advantage of our familiarity with his subgenre when he needs to, while still leaving behind the tangy taste of mystery. |
| The Black Phone | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - He’s about eight different kinds of creepy, every one of them aided immeasurably by its variation on that mask. |
| The Burning Sea | 2021 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - But in dialing down the bombast, Anderson’s film creates a level of authenticity that’s much scarier. |
| The Harbinger | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - What he sees is the way lockdown, hivemind, misinformation and isolation made people forget who they were. |
| The Marsh King's Daughter | 2023 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Burger remembers the strength of his opening when father and daughter return to the woods in the last third, and it’s worth the wait. |
| The Seeding | 2024 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Clay reexamines an existential nightmare addressed many times (I’m Not Scared, John and the Hole) and turns to a mixed bag of horror tropes to limit its impact. |
| Those Who Wish Me Dead | 2021 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - https://maddwolf.com/new-in-theaters/fire-starter/#sthash.veW5TuZN.dpbs |
| V/H/S/99 | 2022 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - A new crop of filmmakers seems to channel their own childhoods for five short films capturing the era. |
| What Josiah Saw | 2021 | 80 | 61 | (full review) - Just when you think you know where director Vincent Grashaw’s Southern Gothic What Josiah Saw is going, you meet Eli. |
| 65 | 2023 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - The Magician’s Elephant pulls plenty from its crowded hat, but has trouble conjuring anything that is truly magical. |
| Alien | 1979 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Gracey distracts from formula with a CGI primate, although he might have been just as successful relying on his own impressive instincts for staging a musical number. |
| Barbarians | 2021 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - The fact that the invasion itself never matches the tension of the simple dinner —what with its evasions, lies, manipulations — becomes Dormfan’s biggest problem. |
| Bingo Hell | 2021 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - With characters to root for, violence to spare, and a healthy acceptance of chaos, Bingo Hell is pretty fun. |
| Birdeater | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Like Ted Kotcheff’s unhinged 1971 Outback classic, Birdeater seeks to upset you as it digs into Australian ideas of masculinity. |
| Color Out of Space | 2020 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Lovecraft fans, though, have reason to be excited. |
| Dark Glasses | 2022 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Everyone yells when they shouldn’t yell, everyone pauses when they shouldn’t pause, everyone talks when they shouldn’t talk, but who cares when the blood is this red and free-flowing? |
| Ganymede | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - The filmmakers, working from Holt’s script, juggle societal pressure, family trauma and damaging fundamentalist beliefs with a genuine tenderness for adolescence. |
| Joker: Folie à Deux | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Where Phillips found the tone for his alienated white man in Scorsese, his love story takes on the fantastical theatricality of a musical. It’s a choice that works better in theory than execution. |
| MaXXXine | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - On its own, the film fits nicely into the role of a competent urban thriller. But when cast as the final piece of a potentially iconic horror trilogy, MaXXXine ends up limping to the finish. |
| Mind Body Spirit | 2023 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Bartholomew shoulders what is at least 75% one-person-show and does it with enough tenderness that Mind Body Spirit never loses your attention. |
| Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre | | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Everything feels more like a brainstorming session than a finished film. |
| Saw X | 2023 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - It’s not the reawakening it may want to be, but for fans of the franchise, it’s finally an installment worth watching. |
| The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It | 2021 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It takes on the legal system but unfortunately abides by the law of diminishing returns. |
| The Infernal Machine | 2022 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Still, it’s great to see Pearce making an effort in a film worthy of his time. |
| The Man in the White Van | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Interestingly, there’s something about this particular falseness and the sloppiness in the script that actually reflects Seventies horror, which is kind of fun—sort of the The Town that Dreaded Sundown era, before tropes dug in and determined every story beat. |
| The Scary of Sixty-First | 2021 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - The Scary of Sixty-First will not land with most audiences. But it’s a wild vision and I’m not sorry I caught it. |
| Werewolves | 2024 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - And if you got full moon fever as soon as you heard “Grillo’s in a werewolf action flick,” Werewolves won’t disappoint. |
| What You Wish For | 2023 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Stahl continues to be the weak spot, although his flat affect almost works with the new characters to give the film a bit of levity. |
| Wolf Man | 2025 | 75 | 97 | (full review) - Whannell’s instinct for horror set pieces and claustrophobic action wring that metaphor for all the tension it’s worth in the second act. |
| Alice | 2022 | 70 | 117 | (full review) |
| Crimson Peak | 2015 | 70 | 117 | (full review) - Gorgeous period pieces drip with symbolism and menace, creating an environment ideal for the old fashioned ghost story unspooling. |
| I.S.S. | 2024 | 70 | 117 | (full review) - The danger never feels real, and the pointlessness of success is never even addressed. It’s a misfire from a reliable filmmaker and a middling effort in the “terror in space” subgenre. |
| Latency | 2024 | 70 | 117 | (full review) - The scares aren’t especially scary, either, but the narrative’s game like quality does build a sense of existential horror. |
| You Are Not My Mother | 2022 | 70 | 117 | (full review) |
| House of Darkness | 2022 | 65 | 122 | (full review) - Worse, the point rings hollow, like a disingenuous, cash-grab reversal of In the Company of Men. |
| Nocebo | 2022 | 65 | 122 | (full review) - It’s not the body horror promised by the catalyst, either. Instead, it’s a muddled if well-performed tale that leans heavily on an idea that needs to die. |
| The Nun II | 2023 | 65 | 122 | (full review) - It’s fine. It’s rated R, so that’s a start, although I’m not certain how it was deemed so problematic as to deserve the “keep the kids away” rating. There are a few creative deaths, almost elegantly macabre. |
| Annabelle: Creation | 2017 | 60 | 125 | (full review) - But there are jumps aplenty and a couple of very freaky images in the third act. |
| Black Christmas | 2019 | 55 | 126 | (full review) - Takal threads some audacious take downs of bro culture throughout a film with a lot of insight. It’s just not a very good movie. |
| As Above, So Below | 2014 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - Dowdle and crew can’t quite piece together enough quality moments to deliver a memorable chiller. |
| Baghead | 2023 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - The plot—co-written by Christina Pamies, Bryce McGuire and the short film’s writer, Lorcan Reilly—becomes needlessly complicated. Worse, Corredor undermines the excellent production value of his locations with gimmicky and weak VFX. |
| Kraven the Hunter | 2024 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - It’s not really worth waiting for the Act 3 payoff, unless you just really like bloodspatter and viscera in your superhero movies. |
| Night of the Hunted | 2023 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - just another horror movie made by men in which the female lead has no purpose or value until she finds her maternal instinct |
| Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones | 2014 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - Slow in spots and hardly groundbreaking, The Marked Ones still manages to entertain and startle. |
| Terrifier 3 | 2024 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - If you dug the previous Art the Clown films, you will find endless entertainment in the newest. You’ll also find mediocre acting and dumb plotting but really excellent practical effects. |
| The Contractor | 2022 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - Rather than elevate a bland picture, the performances feel wasted in this derivative and formulaic thriller. |
| The Protégé | 2021 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - The Protégé is not a terrible film. At worst it’s just a waste of your time. |
| The Watchers | 2024 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - But it doesn’t hold up to the great Irish horror that came before it. |
| The Wrath of Becky | 2023 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - In fact, every character makes a series of choices that defy the very storyline the film itself is trying to establish. Once or twice is forgivable, but eventually this lapse in internal logic becomes a real burden. |
| Trap | 2024 | 50 | 127 | (full review) - Trap is a miss. It’s not his worst, just middle of the pack, but a disappointment nonetheless. |
| Dangerous | 2021 | 45 | 138 | (full review) - Beyond that, the mystery is convoluted beyond measure, Tyrese Gibson and Famke Janssen are pointless, performances are forgettable. |
| Jurassic World | 2015 | 45 | 138 | (full review) - It’s basically The Lost World with more volcano and less Vince Vaughn. |
| Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension | 2015 | 45 | 138 | (full review) - Let’s hope this really is their final effort. |
| A Cure for Wellness | 2017 | 40 | 141 | (full review) - A Cure for Wellness slides images at you, but it never lays out any cohesive narrative to bring them together. |
| Escape Room | 2019 | 40 | 141 | (full review) - The film’s predictable climax and disappointing waning moments are bound to leave you feeling that this movie could have been better. |
| Brahms: The Boy II | 2020 | 35 | 143 | (full review) - Who would have guessed that director William Brent Bell could drive his lackluster 2016 scary doll flick The Boy to a sequel? |
| Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey | 2023 | 35 | 143 | (full review) - Whatever the film’s many – almost countless – flaws, Frake-Waterfield deserves tremendous credit for seeing an opportunity and seizing it. |
| Wrath of Man | 2021 | 35 | 143 | (full review) - No thank you. |
| Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders | 2022 | 25 | 146 | (full review) - Cardboard performances and silly writing veer toward the ludicrous and the film is never able to recover. Or capitalize. |
| She Will | 2022 | 5 | 147 | (full review) - She seamlessly blends styles and ideas into a singular vision – no minor feat for a first-time director. |
| The Strangers: Chapter 1 | 2024 | 5 | 147 | (full review) - So, if you have not seen the 2008 treasure that grounds this franchise, then Harlin’s Chapter 1 is sure to please. It’s an extremely conventional, competent horror movie. As if that’s enough. |
