Happy Halloween (2024)

REVIEWER RATING: 
3/10

My expectations for this horror comedy were very high, and I'm still disappointed by what it failed to deliver—humor! None whatsoever! I was hoping for something reminiscent of a Scream-style Halloween slasher.

Over Your Dead Body (2026)

REVIEWER RATING: 
9/10

Jason Segel is back onscreen, and this time…he’s getting badly beaten in a hilarious comedy horror starring Samara Weaving, Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis. Who would’ve thought that this comedic actor could hold his own in such an intensely barbaric film?

Basic Psych (2025)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10

Basic Psych begins like a typical psychological thriller: It’s Halloween night in a family friendly suburban neighborhood. A masked killer appears inside the home of reputable Dr. Mallo and shoots him dead.

Thinestra (2025)

REVIEWER RATING: 
8/10

Films addressing body image issues have a longstanding history, exploring not only the physiological aspects but also the psychological challenges experienced by individuals with body dysmorphia.

Primal Darkness (2026)

REVIEWER RATING: 
8/10

When executed effectively, found-footage horror films have the potential to deliver heightened levels of suspense. I especially prefer low-budget independent features, as they allow me to tap into my own fears without needing elaborate special effects.
