  1. The Absence of Eden
    A decent feature debut, The Absence of Eden is a film that means well. Restrictions in the script hinder the film emotionally, which often show up in the actors' performances as well.
  2. Sting
    Though its characters and story could've benefited from a deeper, more original development, Roache-Turner ultimately knows what audiences are coming to see and delivers that in droves, offering horrific deaths, a tense atmosphere and stylish direction to entertaining effect.
  3. The Long Game
    The Long Game doesn’t push itself far enough, but ultimately, it successfully and truthfully tells the story it set out to tell and has fun along the way.
  4. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
    While the remake offers a fun, nostalgic moment for fans of this forgotten 1990s kids’ movie, it struggles to enhance or elevate the brilliant charm that made its predecessor so memorable.
  5. The Beast
    Bonello posits that, even in fear, feeling is more important than forgetting, and every little death is a door to another future.
  6. Música
    From its compelling topic choice, a star-making lead role, stellar ensemble cast, and crafty execution, Música is a must-see.
  7. Scoop
    Despite some of the struggles with the moral depictions of the figures, the actors behind Scoop's characters are all mesmerizing in their different roles.
  8. The First Omen
    The First Omen contains the scary elements from the classics and creative upgrades, resulting in a hit for the horror genre and The Omen franchise.
  9. Bob Trevino Likes It
    Laymon expertly crafts a narrative that feels as universal as it is unique. This film embraces a hopeful path, expressing with absolute sincerity that believing in the humanity of others is essential to healing.
  10. Asphalt City
    Asphalt City might falter at times, but seeing Cross try to adapt to all the things happening to him makes for an interesting watch.
  11. DogMan
    Caleb Landry Jones, who plays the hopeful hero, is brilliant, but the rest of the cast dulls his performance and turns something with promise hollow.

    The Beautiful Game
    While The Beautiful Game can often feel like a commercial for an admittedly noble cause, the script and performances deliver a relatable human story of dashed dreams and second chances that reminds us why such charities are vital.

    Wicked Little Letters
    As each diatribe utilizes ever-more inventive cursing, the movie increasingly feels like a missed opportunity.
  14. La Chimera
    The movie is so interested in archeology (the credits dedicate it "to all archeologists, custodians of every end") that it becomes an analogue for the viewing experience. Rohrwacher asks us to interpret La Chimera the way archaeologists interpret fragments of the past.
  15. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    While there is plenty of fun to be had with the monsters and the buildup towards the final showdown, The New Empire’s story feels forced.
  16. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
    Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 shows a better grip on its overall tone and character development than its predecessor.
  17. Desert Road
    There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong, but Triplett directs with confidence, bringing style, intrigue, and character depth to a story that will keep you engaged and holding your breath in suspense for what comes next.
  18. Shirley
    It's thanks to this cast that Shirley remains a rousing and emotional tribute to an important figure in American history.
  19. Arcadian
    Arcadian may falter in its story details, building some character tension that is never fully fleshed out, but it succeeds in creating a gripping, tense experience that is elevated by its disturbing creatures.
  20. Civil War
    Civil War confronts viewers with the brutality of war and the necessity of objective journalism, but the moments of quiet humanity are its strength.
  21. We Were Dangerous
    The film doesn’t always rise to the occasion, and there is some lost potential and a general lack of urgency, but We Were Dangerous’ heart is in the right place, bolstered by a great cast and a strong overall message.
  22. Late Night with the Devil
    Late Night with the Devil is tremendously fun.
  23. Magpie
    Magpie turns certain tropes into narrative weapons, and it works at every turn, culminating in a finale that will leave you wanting more even as it gives us a tension-fueled conclusion.
  24. Azrael
    The lack of specificity around the situation and the underbaked character development reduces Azrael to being nothing more than a horror with an interesting premise.
  25. Sleeping Dogs
    While a few of the actors give decent performances, it is not enough to overcome the stilted writing.
  26. William Shatner: You Can Call Me Bill
    Few stones are left unturned in the callbacks to different parts of his career, and those unfamiliar with Shatner's lower-profile roles will get a kick out of seeing him outside his most iconic roles.
  27. Y2K
    The first half is wildly fun, especially as it puts characters in the uncomfortable position of being at a party that goes awry shortly after the countdown. But what starts off as a quirky teen comedy with hints of sci-fi catastrophe turns into a messy romp that loses its intrigue.
  28. Ghostlight
    Ghostlight bridges the gap between art and reality, blending a poignant narrative that aims to better understand a loved one and the expression of grief.
  29. The Uninvited
    The dialogue-driven movie is genuinely funny and heartfelt, rarely, if ever, losing its momentum from start to finish. Conners is a confident director, bringing together a story that is personal while touching upon issues women face as they age with grace and care.
  30. Immaculate
    The standouts are certainly more on the technical side, with Elisha Christian’s cinematography, Will Bates’ score, and Mohan’s close-ups. Then, there’s Sweeney, who, without a shadow of a doubt, convinced me of her acting skills thanks to what she was able to accomplish through her emotional and physical performance.
