★★★1/2 A suitably unhinged James McAvoy relishes his villainous role in this entertaining and surprisingly funny remake of the considerably darker Danish horror from 2022
The Substance (2024)
★★★★ Demi Moore gives a career-best performance in Coralie Fargeat's audaciously disturbing feminist body horror - not one to watch on a full stomach
Rebel Ridge (2024)
★★★★ Grounded by a star-making performance by Aaron Pierre, Jeremy Saulnier's slow burn indictment of corrupt small town America is an intelligent and tense action thriller.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
★★★ After an soulless opening, Tim Burton's long awaited "Beetlejuice" sequel springs back from the dead with a much improved second half loaded with fittingly ghoulish gags.
Kinds of Kindness (2024)
★★★ Jesse Plemons excels in Yorgos Lanthimos' comedically absurd, but ultimately disjointed, anthological fable of sex and relationships
In a Violent Nature (2024)
★★★ This serene POV slasher flick serves up plenty of imaginatively bloody kills but its tedious documentary style pacing may prove too slow for even the most devout horror aficionados
Inside Out 2 (2024)
★★★★ Equally matching the visual ingenuity of the first film, this smart and funny Pixar sequel is the studio's best project in years despite not quite landing the same emotional punch as its predecessor.
The Bikeriders (2024)
★★★1/2 Jeff Nichol's gritty real life motorcycle drama suffers from poor pacing but remains relatively impactful thanks to the performances of its charismatic ensemble.
Hit Man (2024)
★★★★ An outstanding comedic showcase for its star Glen Powell, 'Hit Man' is a smart and sexy romantic crime caper reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh's 'Out of Sight'
Sting (2024)
"Sting" is a B-movie creature feature with a nostalgic throwback vibe, following a family's encounter with a rapidly growing arachnid. It lacks depth but offers entertaining escapism.
