The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 13% D- EDIT “A stunning bore, wasting whatever potential was there to take the story into a bonkers direction, leaving ticket-buyers with three features of nothingness that should’ve been one terrible movie.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 6, 2026 Full Review F Valentines Day (2026) D- EDIT “The picture fails to reach even modest expectations for fun, becoming a bummer to sit through.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 61% D+ EDIT “The helmer can’t get performances where they need to be, and Egerton’s writing veers into the ridiculous one too many times, hoping to coast on the appeal of retro entertainment.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 54% B EDIT “Hyde loses storytelling focus in a picture that should be 20 minutes shorter. However, she still has the cast and a heartfelt study of the ties that bind, greatly complicated by individual needs of support and expression.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 77% B- EDIT “James and Grimaudo make their moments together shine, with the former rarely tasked to portray human emotions in his films.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review The Roaring Game (2025) D+ EDIT “Built with cliches and overacting, making for a long sit. Even the ways of curling can’t really save the picture, which spends too much time away from the ice to really celebrate the sport. ” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Relationship Goals (2026) D- EDIT “The endeavor tries to have heart and soul, but the only feeling viewers might feel is ickiness as the offering is nothing more than a grotesque commercial for a megachurch mogul.” – Blu-ray.com Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) A- EDIT “For Disneyana types, the movie is an engrossing opportunity to enjoy a nearly 3D-like viewing experience of pure labor. For the rest, Iwerks makes sure to celebrate the creative and physical drive of a massive undertaking, making for a riveting sit.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 93% B EDIT “It’s a darkly comedic take on doomsday, allowing Verbinski room to play with tone and intensity as he oversees an unusual time travel/apocalyptic crisis of confusion.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 30, 2026 Full Review My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “While it lacks production polish, "My Bloody Valentine" has a different sort of appreciation for character and masked menace, while Mihalka serves up the gore with a few inventive kills.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% B EDIT “While it’s not particularly memorable, "Shelter" isn’t goofy like many of Statham’s recent releases, making for a slightly more interesting viewing experience.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% D+ EDIT “Absolutely endeavors to get by on charm and star power, but there isn’t a lot of that to embrace. Instead, there’s dismal routine and a lame sense of humor, severely limiting the blast-from-the-past atmosphere Soto hopes to deliver.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Worldbreaker (2025) 50% D+ EDIT “There’s no real introduction and very little resolution, keeping the offering at a distance, despite heavy emotions in play at times.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Islands (2025) 93% B EDIT “"Islands" sneaks up on the audience, and while there’s no grand escalation, there are dramatic textures to feel around for, helping to stay involved in a fairly leisurely crisis.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Grizzly Night (2026) 50% C EDIT “There’s a body count, and the material explores the shock of death, but those coming to the film with hopes to enjoy a more charged viewing experience might find themselves sorely disappointed with the effort’s pokiness.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% B+ EDIT “Raimi-isms aren’t dialed up to 11, but he retains tremendous fondness for deliciously macabre events, and he’s gifted a phenomenal performance from Rachel McAdams.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% D+ EDIT “Gans seems primed to deliver a refreshed nightmare experience with the sequel, but clunkiness, pokiness, and limited thespian might work to bring down the picture.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Untitled Home Invasion Romance (2025) 83% D+ EDIT “The offering ends up with too many characters and too little time to sort through things, keeping everything frustratingly half-baked, resulting in an unsatisfying film.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 92% A- EDIT “"Arco" is wonderful work from Bienvenu, who puts real care into the production, offering a tender understanding of emotional states and strong future world imagination.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% D EDIT “"Mercy" is as crude as the rest of Bekmambetov’s oeuvre, but it’s also too brainless to deal interestingly with its fantasy premise, leaving audiences with a dismal mystery and an A.I.-powered world that doesn’t make enough sense.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 100% B EDIT “Thankfully, Lighton doesn’t lose his nerve with the tone of "Pillion," preferring softness when dealing with the sometimes hostile relationship between Colin and Ray.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review In Cold Light (2025) 48% B EDIT “"In Cold Light" is dedicated to steely looks and threatening moments, and the picture ultimately finds its way to charged moments during its unusual odyssey into the depths of guilt.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% C- EDIT “"Mother of Flies" has a few interesting ideas on the state of finality and acceptance, but one as to work through stilted dialogue and stiff performances to get there.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% B EDIT “It seemed the next stop on this cinematic journey would be a dive into complete camp, but, mercifully, "The Bone Temple" pulls out of this tonal tailspin, offering a darker, more story driven focus on the pains of this ruinous world.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% B+ EDIT “Crisply acted and well-paced, providing a dark exploration of character that stays within the helmer’s love of testosterone-laden confrontations, non-stop cursing, and gritty happenings with untrustworthy people.” – Blu-ray.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review
