Grind (2026) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A whole blanket of relatable. This is the kind of movie that makes you feel on the inside "It's okay to laugh through the pain"” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Now we have a new familial situation where we are asking ourselves questions about the rules of death’s design, and challenging it. It doesn’t need to stray too far off the course to where it becomes a different movie” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Those paranormal moments that we do see are cliches, but the bigger picture of allowing the audience to be nosey- that's gossip. It's different and fun and makes you want to stay engaged” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Mar 27, 2026 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “These kills were inventive, they were brutal, and it was equal opportunity!” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3/5 EDIT “You can give me all the Raimi-isms you want, but having them be performed and reacted to by these two characters was very entertaining.” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “The last stretch becomes dense in ways that will test viewer patience, ultimately determining whether Night Patrol feels daring or frustrating depending on individual tolerance for mythological sprawl.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “The setting is a hi-end domestic home in Hawaii with big glass windows. Obviously chosen to A- break all the glass in said windows, but also to show the contrast of a beautiful paradise-like landscape to how it’s left under blood and body parts.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Borrowed Spielberg traits to uncover this monster in ways that leave viewers both fed and ready to see more. It’s hid and teased in great cheats to avoid the typical "adjust brightness until the icon is barely visible"” – Big Gold Belt Media Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Calling on Ruth E. Carter for costume design is exactly how you geofiction with purpose. Her character wardrobe matched with Coogler’s subtext rich story direction gives full spectrum understanding to the ensemble’s relationships, fears and flaws. ” – Afropunk Oct 28, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 31% 3/5 EDIT “You cannot and should not decode this film in the same vein as Peele’s Nope, or DaCosta’s Candyman. Even through its faux pas, fans have no choice but to pick up on the transparent tragedy that HIM puts down, and the style and finesse it’s presented with.” – Afropunk Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Its plot is simple, leaving opportunities to pack in throwaway scenes to generate laughs and build audience understanding of the boundaries of St. Roma’s Villa. They’re not all gold, but with the sheer volume of crass humor, something’s bound to get you” – Horror Press Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “This is what I want for the rest of the franchise- I want the predator to channel surf, and I want to see how all these different communities would send their strongest warriors to mess them up.” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Jul 3, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 2/5 EDIT “Performances were all there, but the pacing and story issues were just not enough to save it at all.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It's because of [Horror Noire] that I have the tools as a critic to better digest genre cinema and the way that it deals with diversity and inclusion from the very beginning.” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Gone are the days of the slow, soulless Myers-esque killers that exist without much performance or perspective. The alpha-bro worldview influences a parasocial relationship from Tucker, who claims himself as an alpha male, to sharks” – Horror Press Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% 5/5 EDIT “The bond between Sora Wong as Piper, and Billy Barratt as her brother, Andy, is tangible. The audience will feel how the series of events stretches and disrupts their chemistry from its origin, through its conflict, to the lasting impact of its third act.” – Horror Press May 23, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “It’s taking all my strength to not crash just at the thought of how delightfully messed up this is. I’m able to have this visceral reaction days after screening because of the way all the pieces of the puzzle came together for this production.” – Big Gold Belt Media May 23, 2025 Full Review LifeHack (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The humor makes sense for today, and so does the social significance of getting ghosted on discord. How grounded these characters are in reality will make their actions interesting and relatable to audiences. ” – Big Gold Belt Media May 23, 2025 Full Review Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “Believe me, it’s slow, but note that even though the horrors of Abraham’s Boys are based in reality, the film’s third act is spiked with blood and violence.” – Horror Movie Blog Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “The opening sequence starts off bright and brutal, giving you a preview of the next 90 minutes of on-screen mania with an aura of the bubbly, naive teen cadence found in Legally Blonde and Clueless.” – Horror Press Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Some risks were taken with this movie, just not with the plot or its dialogue, and the real plague is the tacky discourse forced onto a capable cast. However, Abbott’s body acting bleeds through as his unknown disease progresses. He’s an excellent choice” – Horror Press Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 5/5 EDIT “"It’s clear that this story is one that Eggers and his team respect deeply. It honors its predecessors, and never vows to 'elevate' or mess with that essence"” – Horror Press Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 85% 4/5 EDIT “"I was connecting dots that I don't think that I should've because of all the added details didn't make much sense in the end"” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Animale (2024) 94% 5/5 EDIT “"The brutality in this sub-genre doesn't have to come from the assault, because this film was brutal, but it doesn't spoon-feed it to you"” – Blerdy Massacre Podcast Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “"It’s abrasive when it needs to be, and omnipresent during times of mental rest. The score, the script, the cinematography, and the performances are all so flexible to where they form a single track of constant ups and downs"” – Big Gold Belt Media Nov 20, 2024 Full Review
