‘This Is Not a Test,’ is a low-budget, predictable, surprisingly effective and woefully grotesque zombie film.

Tarantino’s skills are considerable. But excess might as well be his middle name. ‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’ is all about that excess.

‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’ advises its audience to reconsider their screens. Plugged In might say the same of this movie, as well.

For Winter Olympic sports, you can find movies about skiing, skating, hockey and more. But what are some medal contenders for family viewing.

Though it’s compelling, the content concerns in Prime Video’s ‘Cross’ might be enough to cross it off your watch list.

Aesthetically, ‘Scarlet’ looks pretty amazing, its powerful imagery and fluid animation filling the screen with wonders. But it trots out its share of horrors, too.

‘Primate’ clocks in with an under-90-minute runtime. But that feels about 75 minutes longer than this movie deserves.

A24’s ‘Marty Supreme’ is the bloodiest, foulest, most obscene movie about table tennis that you’ll ever see.

‘Is This Thing On?’ has some unexpectedly resonant thoughts on marriage but also pervasive profanity and plenty of sexually charged jokes.

‘Solo Mio’ keeps its heart warm and its nose (mostly) clean. And it reminds us that disappointment can lead to unexpected joy.

‘The Strangers’ trilogy wraps up with ‘The Strangers: Chapter 3.’ And give the film credit: It manages to be even worse than its predecessors.

‘The Plague’ is more than just the film’s name. It describes how perhaps we should treat this film itself: Avoid it, or feel sick.

‘The Housemaid’ is clever, forgettable and quite problematic in a great many ways.

In ‘Iron Lung,’ a guy pilots a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood. And that, my friends, should be all you need to know.

Apple TV+ seems to have a knack for creating deeply heartfelt, wildly problematic comedies. Shrinking is one of them.
