28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Rachel Shatto Under Nia DaCosta’s incredible direction, '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' is brutal and aching, frightening and hilarious, human and monstrous, and a total return to form for the series.

Primate (2025) Rachel Shatto Really effective "when animals attack" films are rare, but this one understood the assignment and offered nail-biting set pieces, visceral gore, and a cast of nubile archetypal horror characters for Ben to rip limb from limb. So, kudos to "Primate."

Deathstalker (2025) Rachel Shatto What Kostanski gets right isn’t just the nostalgia, gore, or even the joys of puppety violence—it’s tone. It feels like an invitation to an inside joke, with a whimsical imagination that’s oddly wholesome for a film that opens with a bloody decapitation.

Bone Lake (2024) Rachel Shatto It’s just fun. Tonally it’s in line with something like ‘Ready or Not,’ but with the twisty absurdity of ‘Body Double’ and a whisper of V.C. Andrews’ novels.

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Rachel Shatto Madelaine Petsch continues to give a great scream queen performance — she really leaves it all on the field — but the rest of the movie just doesn’t meet her on that level.

HIM (2025) Rachel Shatto HIM is not a movie you can engage with lightly. You have to lock in and pay attention to what the film is actually saying through its use of symbolism and storytelling sleight of hand. Do this, and the film ascends to something truly special.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Rachel Shatto The Conjuring: Last Rites is not aggressively bad; it's just aggressively middle of the road.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Rachel Shatto It really feels like all the wrong lessons were learned from the success of the first film. Gone is the fun camp with a mean edge, gone are the characters with a whiff of humanity. Gone is the horror entirely.

Weapons (2025) Rachel Shatto It's bold to take a horror film like this and treat it like a character piece for a long stretch of the film, punctuated by horror. It succeeds by letting the characters be unexpectedly messy and defying your expectations about who they are.
