5/5
Diabolic (2025) Bee Delores Diabolic doesn’t just beckon the monsters out of the closet. It lets them run amok across a crackling backdrop, underlined in red by Will Spartalis’ equally unnerving score.

5/5
Night Patrol (2025) Bee Delores Some of the best art confronts, provokes, and uncovers truth, and Night Patrol does so in every conceivable way.

3/5
Love & Other Crimes (2025) Bee Delores Clarito Zapanta's Love & Other Crimes mostly sticks the landing. As it lurches into the finale, dots are connected, and story arcs are complete, allowing the viewer to feel satisfied and itching for what the creative team has up their sleeves next.

5/5
Hag (2025) Bee Delores It’s the perfect amount of funny and serious, with many WTF and "you’ve got to be kidding" moments sprinkled into the mix. With this release, Sam Wineman emerges as a one-to-watch queer filmmaker who could turn the genre on its head.

5/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Bee Delores Mike P. Nelson's Silent Night, Deadly Night makes a last-minute bid for one of the year's biggest surprises.

4/5
The Beldham (2024) Bee Delores The Beldham operates in an almost illusory state. Angela Gulner crafts such a compelling world that uses genre tropes and conventions to lull you into a false sense of reality.

3.5/5
Man Finds Tape (2025) Bee Delores It’s quite easy for found footage films to blend together, but Man Finds Tape stands out from the pack with imagery so terrifying that it’ll guarantee a few nightmares.

3/5
Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) Bee Delores Written by Eric Winkler, the film explores a woman’s early infatuation with clowns, her desperation to be heard, and how loneliness spreads like a plague. While the film doesn’t totally stick the landing, there’s plenty here to dig into and enjoy.

4.5/5
Night of the Reaper (2025) Bee Delores While it owes plenty to ’80s slashers, it carves out a comfortable place in the current slasher renaissance and strikes mystery, intrigue, and mayhem in equal doses.
Posted Nov 12, 2025Edit critic review
3.5/5
Dream Eater (2025) Bee Delores While the finale could have hit harder—it sort of limps across the finish line in its final moments—Dream Eater supplies plenty of nightmare-inducing flashes that are sure to keep audiences up at night.

3/5
Don't Trip (2025) Bee Delores At its worst, the film feels ripped from the early 2000s when rampant gay jokes were prevalent; at its best, it takes a bulldozer to the Hollywood Hills.
Posted Nov 07, 2025Edit critic review
1/5
Crushed (2025) Bee Delores Crushed says nothing interesting about the cruelty of human nature or the struggle to hold onto one's faith. It's a brutally unnecessary film, and in 2025, it's rather regressive.
Posted Oct 26, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Parasomnia (2025) Bee Delores The story of Parasomnia becomes convoluted and strange by the third act, quickly going off the rails. While the filmmaker makes some bold choices, it is all unfortunately devoid of clear intent and energy beyond Matthews’ star-making performance.
Posted Oct 24, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
It Needs Eyes (2025) Bee Delores The acting, particularly from Lebish, is strong, but the story lacks real bite to keep you engaged.
Posted Oct 24, 2025Edit critic review
2.5/5
CAMP (2025) Bee Delores With a nearly two-hour runtime, Camp spins its tires and never gains any ground. Through the noise, there are moments of brilliance, but they’re bogged down with a tedious script and characters that aren’t nearly as fleshed out as they should be.
Posted Oct 24, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Dead Lover (2025) Bee Delores It’s such a bizarre experience that you might wonder, “WTF is this?!” (complementary) You’ll be so invested, you won’t care. While much of the film feels way too garish and absurd, it’s far better than the alternative: to be boring.
Posted Oct 24, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
Abigail Before Beatrice (2025) Bee Delores With a tight, emotionally resonant script, Abigail Before Beatrice should put Cassie Keet on everyone's radar. Her distinctive voice shines through every single scene.
Posted Oct 23, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
Queens of the Dead (2025) Bee Delores Zombie films are a dime a dozen, but Tina Romero's Queens of the Dead pierces through the static. It's campy, funny, gory, and heartfelt.
Posted Oct 22, 2025Edit critic review
3.5/5
Cognaitive (2025) Bee Delores From the ripped-from-the-headlines storyline to the blood, guts, and gore, the film feels as though we’re gazing into an office somewhere in the world right now and witnessing the fall of humanity.
Posted Oct 14, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
The Red Mask (2025) Bee Delores With The Red Mask, filmmaker Ritesh Gupta has a hit in the making. It’s hyperaware enough about genre not to be distracting and original enough to stand out in the current slasher renaissance.
Posted Oct 12, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Affection (2025) Bee Delores BT Meza’s directing is impressive and gets the absolute most out of Rothe. Affection goes for broke in the second half and doesn’t let up until the very last frame.
Posted Oct 08, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Day of a Lion (2025) Bee Delores While the story doesn’t always work (the slow-burn pacing forces the audience to hyper-focus on the script to a delirious degree), Day of a Lion does feel like an important moment for the filmmakers.
Posted Oct 02, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
213 Bones (2025) Bee Delores 213 Bones doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. It’s a lean and mean slasher with a flair for the theatrical.

5/5
Good Boy (2025) Bee Delores In a year when horror has been delivering top-notch stories (Sinners, Weapons, etc.), Good Boy arrives this Friday (October 3) as another special release we’ll be talking about for years to come.
Posted Oct 01, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
The Restoration at Grayson Manor (2025) Bee Delores From various physical gags and setpieces to flamboyant characters, The Restoration of Grayson Manor is the thrilling piece of queer cinema we need right now.
Posted Sep 27, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Dolly (2025) Bee Delores Paying homage to classic films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Dolly features some seriously gnarly violence and practical effects that’ll make you cringe and gag.
Posted Sep 24, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Coyotes (2025) Bee Delores While Coyote could certainly have been crazier and more unhinged, the film serves up plenty of situational laughs and grisly violence.
Posted Sep 24, 2025Edit critic review
2.5/5
Tinsman Road (2025) Bee Delores While it’s evident that Robbie Banfitch has a deep adoration for found footage, he’s simply lost creative steam here. Tinsman Road doesn’t quite pack the necessary punch as The Outwaters, and it’s a bummer.

4.5/5
Influencers (2025) Bee Delores Influencers arrives as a sequel that surpasses the original in every way. When I sit down to watch influencer horror, I want big, bad, and bold. In this heightened reality, Kurtis David Harder delivers a sequel to die for.

4/5
Mother of Flies (2025) Bee Delores Mother of Flies arrives as one of the best films of the Fantasia Festival. And it’s a shock to no one. What they’ve managed to do here is exemplary work, operating as an essential piece of folk horror we’ll be talking about for years to come.

3/5
Hold the Fort (2025) Bee Delores With his new film, Hold the Fort, writer/director William Bagley taps into a deep well of modern terrors with an eye for situational and physical gags.

4/5
Hellcat (2025) Bee Delores A strong, meditative script gives Gorman and Terry plenty of story to dig their heels into, uncovering layers about the good in human nature and the infection as a metaphor for being different.

4.5/5
Sweetness (2025) Bee Delores The script is smart, incredibly layered, and dares the viewer to both empathize with and be disgusted by Rylee’s actions. As far as incisive dissections of celebrity and fandom are concerned, this is a real doozy.

4/5
Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) Bee Delores Stephen Cognetti’s Hell House LLC: Lineage surpasses every expectation – and then some.

5/5
All Alone Together (2024) Bee Delores All Alone Together arrives as among this year’s best genre treats. It’s wonderfully scary as it telegraphs its powerful, relentless message about asking for help and reaching out to others in times of psychological crises.
Posted Jul 16, 2025Edit critic review
3.5/5
American Trash (2024) Bee Delores American Trash might be a tough sell for many people, particularly the inclusion of old Charles Manson interviews, but there’s plenty of engaging commentary about the planet, redemption, and keeping a tight grip on your humanity.
Posted Jul 11, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
Eye for an Eye (2025) Bee Delores Eye for an Eye is one of the year’s biggest indie surprises.
Posted Jun 24, 2025Edit critic review
Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019) Bee Delores Directed by Xavier Burgin, the streaming site’s new documentary on the role Black Americans have played in Hollywood horror is sketched through new and archival interviews, and it’s truly an enlightening, passionate, and moving experience.

3.5/5
Traumatika (2024) Bee Delores Traumatika claws at the throat. With the demonic force slipping into a new host’s skin, the third-act climax is among the year’s most thrilling.

Freelance (2024) Bee Delores Freelance operates on all cylinders to deliver a haunting and grim story.
Posted May 13, 2025Edit critic review

Redux Redux (2025) Bee Delores Redux Redux doesn’t just reinvent the revenge genre; it flips it on its head, shatters it, and then rearranges the broken shards.

2.5/5
Shadow of God (2025) Bee Delores Shadow of God is, frankly, an unfortunate blunder that will be forgotten in the blink of an eye

Marshmallow (2025) Bee Delores In coloring outside the lines, the film delivers charming characters, stunning cinematography, and, of course, plenty of ghost-like frights.

Dooba Dooba (2024) Bee Delores Perched somewhere between Creep and The Ceremony is About to Begin, Dooba Dooba effectively creeps up the backbone.

What Happened to Suzy (2024) Bee Delores What Happened to Suzy? might feel pedestrian for some viewers, but its tried and true approach to familiar territory is part of its magic.

Seance (2021) Bee Delores When the mask finally slips, the disorder beneath will either be delightful to some or agonizing for others.

Itch! (2024) Bee Delores Both the resilience of human nature and our fragility throb at the center of Itch!. Its focus is far less on the horror than it is on the emotional threads that keep the story linked together.

4/5
Solvent (2024) Bee Delores The film, shot entirely in first-person perspective, lives within The Outwaters-style absurdity while fermenting its own unique approach and tone.
