[Tina Romero's] feature directorial debut, Queens of the Dead, takes the basics of what her dad is fondly remembered for and spins it off in its own distinct style. She is most certainly a Romero in her filmmaking, but you'd never mistake Queens of the Dead for her father's work.

A razor-sharp, emotionally-devastating crime thriller where the stakes are high, and chances of justice are low.

For a horror-comedy, it's not funny, and it's not scary. It's a very strange amalgamation of little drops of each of these things, heavily diluted within what is largely a romantic drama, and as such, every time it tries to be funny or scary, it feels out of place and uncomfortable.

It's not a perfect horror movie, but it has all the right ingredients and is such a great way for someone who enjoys the rougher things in life to spend 90 minutes.

It's not breaking any new ground, but Prom Queen is a solid enough teen slasher that does a nice job of continuing the ever-expanding universe of R.L. Stine.

Eubank's direction has a tenderness for its characters and for the little worlds they build around themselves, bursting full of hopes and dreams that we really want to see them achieve.

Chaos ensues, dozens of better movies are ripped off, and despite a few fun kills, it leaves you feeling not very much of anything.

It is about as standard a Western as you can imagine, one that hits all the narrative beats and clichés expected of the genre, but the technical quality of it is undeniable, bolstered by gorgeous cinematography, strong performances, and a really impressive turn from its child star, Patrick Scott McDermott.

It's a cluttered mess of a movie that should have scaled back, stuck to the basics, and delivered what we were all hoping for: over-the-top ratty carnage.

With everybody understanding the assignment, Bears on a Ship is truly one of those movies you can relax and have fun with.

Dead Mail is a rock-solid crime thriller horror.

There's definite potential in Andy Edwards. He needs to up the camp and spend a little longer at the drawing board, streamlining his vision and considering what he wants to do with his next project. Whatever it ends up being, I look forward to seeing it.

The movie shines the brightest, harshest light on Kaufman, and still ends up seeing nothing more than a silhouette. What was it all about? We may never know, but Thank You Very Much is about as close as we may get.

There is a simplistic charm to the movie that captures the strange in-between times of the early 2000s.

Locked is a really slick, tightly-spun crime thriller that seems to take a good deal of inspiration from Joel Schumacher's Phone Booth.

The Parenting, which boasts an impressive cast including Brian Cox, Parker Posey, and Edie Falco, takes itself just seriously enough to maintain the impact of both the horror and the comedy, and while it doesn't end up being the most original or breathtaking thing you ever saw, it makes for a fun ride with a lot of character and plenty of heart.

Everybody who worked on Green and Gold brought their A-game and made what could have been your run-of-the-mill drama into a truly sublime movie.

The movie hangs on the nuances of Cantor's performance, but it never seems to come together.

The emotional core of the story relies strongly on the performances of Cholbi, Falé, and Gueneau, who turn in wonderful performances that don't need loud outbursts or explosive arguments.

It is not a movie with the intention of entertaining its audience, but rather of challenging, reminding, and warning.
