Grizzly Night (2026) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “A soft recommend. The intentions are earnest and the bear looks great, but the hair and costuming is questionable and, though based in fact, the decision to divide the narrative between victims means the characters don't pop ” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Tonya and Nancy: The Inside Story (1994) 4/5 EDIT “Considering it came out less than four months after "the incident", it is wild how clever, knowing, and informed this made-for-TV film is. It's shocking how contemporary and progressive this feels” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Tamara (2005) 34% 3/5 EDIT “This oh-so-2000s text is extremely messy, but occasionally fun. Dewan is having a blast as the resurrected succubus, even if none of the other character relationships make any sense.” – Horror Queers Podcast Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Sphere (1998) 13% 2.5/5 EDIT “This Michael Crichton adaptation starts well, but between the insufferable title cards and the poor treatment of women and mental illness, Sphere overstays its welcome. A slog” – Horror Queers Podcast Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 60% 4/5 EDIT “A surprisingly clever, occasionally confronting, unusual slice of media satire. The Moment is worth a look regardless of whether you celebrated Brat summer or can't tell Charli XCX from Olivia Rodrigo” – Queer.Horror.Movies. Feb 5, 2026 Full Review David Lynch: The Art Life (2016) 90% 3/5 EDIT “A loosely structured doc that puts Lynch, his art, and his art practice front and center. It's not revelatory, which may frustrate casual fans or newcomers, but for fans, it's a good complement to his early films” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Eastern Boys (2013) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Robin Campillo’s film is frequently tense, confronting and confounding (in the best way possible). An unconventional genre hybrid that defies audience expectation with surprising regularity.” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% EDIT “My Bloody Valentine is one of the most greatest slasher films of all time.” – Queer.Horror.Movies. Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Popcorn (1991) 43% 3.5/5 EDIT “An amusing slasher romp with actual likeable characters and great mask FX. ” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Born for Hell (1976) 4/5 EDIT “A tough but compelling watch that seamlessly blends a critique of violence from the Troubles, Vietnam, and Richard Speck into a single, uncompromising text” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% 2/5 EDIT “As an adaptation of the game, Gans misses the mark. As a standalone, the narrative is nonsensical and overly complicated. It sometimes looks great, but vibes only go so far” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 27, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “There’s no denying the film’s visceral impact right up until the final frame. I can’t remember the last time a movie made every hair on my body stand up, but The Undertone got me good.” – Bloody Disgusting Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Tell Me Everything (2026) 80% 5/5 EDIT “An exquisite 80s throwback about a fractured father/son relationship. Reminiscent of early Almodovar texts and featuring stand-out performances across the board. One of the year's best films” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Split (2017) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “Is this a dangerous representation of DID? Possibly, but McAvoy's performance as the different personalities, M. Night and Gioulakis' cinematography and the secret tie-in to Unbreakable make this a lurid delight” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Rosaline (2022) 76% 4/5 EDIT “An absolute delight. The cast has great chemistry and even the secondary and tertiary characters pop. Tragic that Hulu buried this one instead of letting it go theatrical so it could be enjoyed in a crowd” – Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “A little too lean in characterization and weirdly laggy when it comes to pacing in the middle section, but the scares, the gore, and the house porn are exceptional. A good, albeit slight, time.” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Catherine Called Birdy (2022) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “A fun, energetic adaptation. Lena Dunham wisely updates the 90s material and the casting offers an intriguing (arguably unintended) queer read of the film. Ramsey and Scott are great” – Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Congo (1995) 24% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's not a good film, but it is entertaining and stupid. Just avoid comparisons to Jurassic Park” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Humane (2024) 70% 2.5/5 EDIT “Caitlin Cronenberg's debut has promise, but winds up lacking in execution. The intriguing premise is letdown by defanged satire and an early death is a grievous error. There's just not quite enough here” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Ed Kemper (2025) 1/5 EDIT “Ferrin's film is a throwback to the 00s in its focus on sensational bloodletting and prioritizing the killer over victims. Brandon Kirk is outstanding, but co-lead Susan Priver is in a different movie in a bad way” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Jan 15, 2026 Full Review King Cobra (2016) 50% EDIT “Christian Slater is the MVP in Justin Kelly's melodramatic, semi-salacious, occasionally erotic true crime adaptation. It's become difficult to watch Franco queer bait in the intervening years.” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Stalked by My Doctor (2015) 4/5 EDIT “Doug Campbell's ludicrous film is highly entertaining, thanks mostly to Eric Roberts' scenery-chewing (and perfectly on point) performance. It's no wonder this became a franchise.” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Chained (2012) 62% 3/5 EDIT “From misguided accusations of torture porn to a bizarre 'twist' ending, this film is *interesting*. Still, the performances from Vincent D'Onofrio and Eamon Farren are outstanding, and the premise has plenty of promise.” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Jan 6, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “More serious than A Simple Favor, Feig is nevertheless still having fun with his committed leading ladies. Seyfried is MVP, Sweeney is believably rough and the palatial estate is giving house porn” – Horror Queers Podcast Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 1.5/5 EDIT “Anaconda frequently feels like it’s held together by Mad Libs and scotch tape...audiences can – and should – demand better from our IP remakes” – Queer.Horror.Movies.
