Movie Review – ‘The Dark and the Wicked’ is tragic and terrifying rural gothic
The Dark and The Wicked (2020) is streaming exclusively on Shudder and is unrated, but if I were to guess I would rate it R for swears, lots of blood, suicides via guns, rope, knives, and craft materials, jumps scares that feel far from cheap, mutilated animals, mutilated hands, and corpse nudity.

Movie Review -‘Death Trip’: no, we aren’t there yet
Death Trip 2021 is unrated and let’s give this one an R for bathroom sexytimes, people getting hit with hammers, people getting hit with croquette mallets, people getting stabbed, lots of blood, and an interminable second act.

Movie Review – ‘La Funeraria (The Funeral Home)’ buries expectations in rustic fashion
La Funeraria (The Funeral Home) (2021) is unrated and streaming on VOD and premium platforms, but if I were to guess I’d give it a PG-13 – which is not to say it isn’t a harrowing ride – for Spanish swears (maybe, I dunno), people getting stabbed, ghostly sexytimes, ghostly bottoms. People getting stabbed, people in coffins, and a lot of teen-aged sass.
Movie Review – ‘Sator’ is quietly loud Sierra Nevada Gothic
Sator (2019) is Unrated but this is solidly in PG-13 territory for antler choking hazards, involuntary combustion, forcible levitation, and the anxiety that comes from knowing something is always watching.
Movie Review – ‘Paradise Cove’ is a few lobsters, vegetables, and clams short of a clam bake
Paradise Cove (2021) is Unrated, but I’d give it a PG-13 for women showering naked but you can only sorta see skin through a fence, women shooting up hormones, people falling from ladders, people getting cracked over the head, people getting waterboarded – I mean, sure, and the dog.
Movie Review – ‘Bliss’ is an unreal, sci-fi romance
Bliss (2021) is rated R for swears, people falling from buildings, people getting shot, extreme drug use, matrix-style disconnects, and mob violence.
Movie Review – ‘The Little Things’ misses a really big thing (the story)
The Little Things (2021) is very bloodless for a film noir. s rated R for swears, morgue nudity, people getting punched, people getting shot, high tension.
Movie Review – ‘Silence & Darkness’ brings the dread to light in slow degrees
Silence & Darkness (2020) is unrated, and due to the lack of blood, swears, nudity, or on-screen violence, I’m hard-pressed to give it an R, so I’ll toss it into the PG-13 category. It’s strong proof thrillers don’t need any of those things to set you on edge and delivery a potent story.
Disney+ TV Review – ‘WandaVision’ Easter Egg and Episode 1 breakdown!
Some of my favorite work on Movie Reelist has been hunting down Easter Eggs and discovering connected storylines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige’s forward-thinking roadmap has never ceased to amaze me. While Covid-19 presented his team with severe challenges and unplanned delays, the first episode of Disney+’s new series, WandaVision, indicate impressive planning and execution will prevail in phase four!
