Send Help (2026) 93% 8/10 EDIT “A glorious return to form for Raimi, buoyed by some great performances, gorgeous scenery and a tight, tense script. ” – Exclaim! Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 8/10 EDIT “[Mikkelsen] performs with dignity and danger, putting his body through pain and violence in one scene, then switching to a gentle and empathetic father figure in the next.” – Exclaim! Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 4/10 EDIT “A dull, uninspired biopic that's only bolstered by its dedicated, commanding performances.” – Exclaim! Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Are We Good? (2025) 97% 7/10 EDIT “Are We Good? doesn't romanticize losing a partner. It doesn't turn loss into some transcendental or cathartic experience, or pretend that it offers some teachable lesson. There's no moral behind it — that would be the Hollywood version.” – Exclaim! Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% 5/10 EDIT “It's difficult to decipher who 'Spinal Tap II' is actually for, or who asked for it to be made. ” – Exclaim! Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Blair renders a loving homage with a style and substance — and body count — all its own.” – Exclaim! Aug 28, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 2/10 EDIT “Jamie describes the infected as a creature that's "got no mind, got no soul." Apt, because I feel the same about '28 Years Later.'” – Exclaim! Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Karate Kid: Legends (2025) 58% 3/10 EDIT “Mr. Miyagi's legacy deserves better than this.” – Exclaim! Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 6/10 EDIT “Steven Soderbergh pushes the metaphor of the "black bag" to the limit.” – Exclaim! Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% 5/10 EDIT “Death of a Unicorn clearly has fun with the material, even if its commentary is derivative and flimsy at best.” – Exclaim! Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 6/10 EDIT “Threequels, ugh.” – Exclaim! Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Blue Rodeo: Lost Together (2024) 7/10 EDIT “An intimate portrait of one of Canada's most beloved bands.” – Exclaim! Mar 4, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/10 EDIT “It's karaoke. How does it feel?” – Exclaim! Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 5/10 EDIT “A combination of wasted talent, bland, derivative writing, lazy characterization, and an overall lack of care or attention to detail.” – Exclaim! Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Between the Temples (2024) 84% 5/10 EDIT “There is an unmistakable Sundance-ness to it all.” – Exclaim! Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% 4/10 EDIT “Axel F is a pointless, overstuffed and altogether irrelevant sequel.” – Exclaim! Aug 5, 2024 Full Review The Garfield Movie (2024) 36% 5/10 EDIT “Why has Garfield been watered down, and why is Garfield a property that needs to be revived and revisited cinematically? Do kids care about this character?” – Exclaim! May 23, 2024 Full Review Imaginary (2024) 25% 5/10 EDIT “It's flimsy, cheap and easily forgotten — much like an unloved stuffy decaying in the darkness of some dusty box that will never be opened again.” – Exclaim! Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 64% 6/10 EDIT “It feels like the work of another filmmaker aping a Coen Brothers movie to mixed results.” – Exclaim! Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% 6/10 EDIT “It's a dark comedy that eventually loses the best of both parts, but still entertains and repulses in the best possible way” – Exclaim! Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Daniel's Gotta Die (2022) 4/10 EDIT “Waiting for the inevitable has never been so dull.” – Exclaim! Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023) 89% 6/10 EDIT “Fans of horror that requires patience and empathy will undoubtedly enjoy the sombre mysteries of Lovely, Dark, and Deep — a film well worth getting lost in.” – Exclaim! Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Night Swim (2024) 19% 4/10 EDIT “When it comes to most pools, there is absolutely nothing lurking beneath the surface — an apt description of Night Swim.” – Exclaim! Jan 31, 2024 Full Review The Beekeeper (2024) 71% 3/10 EDIT “It is relentless in its mediocrity, droning on and on through an endless parade of frantic fisticuffs and abysmal, stilted dialogue.” – Exclaim! Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Self Reliance (2023) 73% 4/10 EDIT “A film can joke about mental health, but it should never be the joke.” – Exclaim! Jan 31, 2024 Full Review
