Scream (2022) is Rated R because it’s a Scream movie. People get stabbed (like a lot), slashed, shot, stomped, scorched. There is smoking, necking, groping, swears, and I promise you’ll have a lot of fun watching people die.
Movie Review – ‘The Runner’ lacks stamina for a horror short
The Runner (2022) is unrated, but let’s give it a PG-13 for lots of blood, a corpse, bloody frontal bits, and an organectomy through the chest wall. You’re coming for the music, not the story.
Movie Review – ‘The Last Radio Call’ maybe should have gone to voicemail
The Last Radio Call (2022) is unrated, but let’s call it PG-13 for swears, a legitimately terrifying creature and fantastic audio editing, creepy scares, people getting shot, a severed head, the aftermath of a gunshot suicide, and police just letting themselves into places without a warrant.
Movie Review – ‘The 355’, or the spies who missed me (with every shot they took)
The 355 (2022) is rated PG-13 for swears, people getting punched a lot – in the face, the ribs, the crotch, people getting shot, planes falling from the sky, people getting stabbed, explosions, and really awkward 2nd Base sexytimes.
Movie Review – The Matrix Resurrections’ settles for comfortable nostalgia
You know those clip compilation shows our favorite network series used to have mid-season because someone was either in the hospital, about to make a huge decision, or had died? Short scene – have a clip. Leading dialogue – here’s a clip. Outrageous scene for a laugh, oh, another clip. That’s what you can expect with The Matrix Resurrections (2021). …
Movie Review – ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ is the thrilling ride we’ve been anticipating

Movie Review – ‘Nightmare Alley’ is a moody slog through 40s noir
Nightmare Alley (2021) is Rated R for swears, sexytimes, people getting shot, people getting stabbed, a murder-suicide that comes out of left field, medical oddities in cloudy jars, and that chilling grin Willem Defoe gives when his characters are up to no good.

Movie Review – ‘The Advent Calendar’ has bright holiday horror behind every door
The Advent Calendar (2021) is unrated and most of the violence is implied or off-screen, but I’m giving it a hard R for French swears, sexytimes that end badly, attempted rape, people getting slashed, terrible car accidents, a drowning, a head-shot, and animal death.
