Laced (2023) 3/10 EDIT “The intriguing moments are too few and fleeting. What Laced lacks is a singular focus — a point of contention for the character to vie for that naturally draws in the audience and builds suspense.” – Film Threat Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Concrete Utopia (2023) 100% 7.5/5 EDIT “Without a focal idea to build toward, Concrete Utopia is more of a cinematic experiment than a film. The filmmakers certainly weigh many heavy topics with skillful immediacy. ” – Film Threat Jan 5, 2024 Full Review Brutal Season (2023) 9/10 EDIT “Any criticisms lobbied at Brutal Season are so slight they are pointless to mention. It is an astonishing film when considering its minuscule budget.” – Film Threat Nov 28, 2023 Full Review The Deep Dark (2023) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Though unrefined and somewhat unpolished, The Deep Dark is a modern horror gem. ” – Film Threat Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Restore Point (2023) 95% 6.5/10 EDIT “It is a film that, while intelligently conceived, is in no way its own. As such, it struggles to connect with the viewer in any way beyond its aesthetics. This is, in a word, a cold film, lacking the vital spark of originality, the warmth of humanity.” – Film Threat Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Sleep (2024) 95% 7/10 EDIT “Sleep is an oblong mirror of itself. On one hand, it is a good but seemingly typical genre film that has moments of uncanny intelligence. On the other, it is an uncannily intelligent work that eventually settles for simply being a good genre film.” – Film Threat Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Snow Leopard (2023) 70% 7.5/10 EDIT “Snow Leopard is a work of intricate craftsmanship. It is both sumptuously empty and grand every day. ” – Film Threat Sep 21, 2023 Full Review The Promised Land (2023) 97% 8.5/10 EDIT “Indeed, Arcel and Mikkelsen have struck a deeply human chord with The Promised Land. It is a tale of undoubted savagery but also one of hope in all its divine illumination.” – Film Threat Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Dream Scenario (2023) 91% 5/10 EDIT “When the film needs to compose its many ideas, it instead becomes a thematic centrifuge, not combining these ideas but separating them. ” – Film Threat Sep 13, 2023 Full Review An Egypt Affair (2023) 5.5/10 EDIT “The lazy copy-and-paste writing and lack of narrative polish impede what could have been a universally enjoyable film, despite the genre. ” – Film Threat Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Show Business Is My Life But I Can't Prove It (2023) 7/10 EDIT “What is left by the end is simply the adventure of it all: the sepia glow of the 70s, the comic’s mad genius, and his ease of generating laughs. But those laughs would be more meaningful had we been allowed to truly understand the man behind the ghost.” – Film Threat Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Operation Napoleon (2023) 18% 5/10 EDIT “Ultimately, Operation Napoleon is just another of a thousand other films in the adventure-conspiracy genre. ” – Film Threat Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Belle (2023) 60% 5/10 EDIT “Ultimately, Belle is disappointing not because its base elements are lacking but because the director had everything within reach to create a memorable film. ” – Film Threat Aug 8, 2023 Full Review North Circular (2022) 100% 7.5/10 EDIT “North Circular is a heartfelt feature, involved and thoughtful.” – Film Threat Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) 59% 6/10 EDIT “A rather forgettable affair. ” – Film Threat Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Tales from the Apocalypse (2023) 6.5/10 EDIT “While Tales of the Apocalypse is a competently made anthology that features a series of rich worlds, its lack of equally rich characterization proves a fatal shortcoming.” – Film Threat Jul 6, 2023 Full Review Pratfall (2023) 90% 6.5/10 EDIT “Certainly, moments provide glimpses of a grander, more contemplative vision, but Pratfall retreats into familiar territory too often. ” – Film Threat Jul 3, 2023 Full Review The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future (2022) 88% 3.5/10 EDIT “Every genuinely compelling moment is forced to become an object of one-dimensional dogma. ” – Film Threat Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West (2023) 91% 4.5/10 EDIT “At its very foundation, the film suffers from the age-old failing of telling but not showing.” – Film Threat Jun 6, 2023 Full Review A New Old Play (2021) 100% 8.5/10 EDIT “It is as multilayered as the traditions of old and as daring as the convictions of new.” – Film Threat May 16, 2023 Full Review Nathan-ism (2023) 88% 7/10 EDIT “Hilu’s life and perspective are unique enough to give this film all the impulse it seems to need.” – Film Threat May 11, 2023 Full Review T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets (2022) 91% 8/10 EDIT “For those who can gather the patience, it is a reminder of the wisdom Eliot so treasured, with all its overt Christian inspiration, birthed with such difficulty in the fires of war.” – Film Threat May 3, 2023 Full Review Twilight (1990) 93% 8.5/10 EDIT “It is an assured film, mature in its own right and poignant in its ruminations on madness, obsession, and futility.” – Film Threat Apr 20, 2023 Full Review End of Loyalty (2023) 5.5/10 EDIT “Without any guiding idea behind the narrative, the movie cannot make anything from its sea of inspiration.” – Film Threat Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Living with Chucky (2022) 74% 6.5/10 EDIT “For fans of the snarky killer doll, Gardner has crafted a gleeful celebration of all things Chucky.” – Film Threat Apr 10, 2023 Full Review
