A Simple Favor
Despite some compelling cinematic moments, what we end up with here is basically Gone Girl-lite.
Peppermint
This flick is a horribly written 102 minutes of bloodletting and spewed foul language.
The Nun
Along with its spirituality, The Nun invites a whole host of supernatural grotesquerie to the party.
The Little Stranger
This film blends its eerie atmospherics with brief moments of terrible, frighteningly realistic bloodshed.
Searching
This cautionary thriller unspools via security cameras, iPhones, Macbooks, YouTube videos and social media messages.
Kin
Kin is darker and far less enjoyable than its publicity materials might have you think.
Operation Finale
This film communicates the horror and aching loss of the Holocaust without actually showing us many gory details.
Beautifully Broken
No horror—even the horror of genocide—is beyond God’s ability to redeem.
The Happytime Murders
I’ve seen worse movies this year. But I don’t know if I’ve seen anything that made me more sad.
The Wife
The Wife offers a beautiful, complex, chaotic portrayal of a married couple whose relationship is haunted by a dark secret.
