Exit 8 (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “It might not revolutionize the video game movie, but it does show that any good game can make for good cinema.” – Nerdist Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 43% 2/5 EDIT “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and its vibes and quips and video game references might delight Nintendo-philes without ever having to tell a story. But if this is all we're ever going to get from Nintendo's cinematic offerings, I'll opt not to play again.” – Nerdist Mar 31, 2026 Full Review The Howling (1981) 76% EDIT “The Howling is a movie that’s gotten better and better every time I’ve watched it. There’s so much to enjoy about it.” – Nerdist Mar 17, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “Undertone is an effective and clever little horror flick that uses the paranormal podcast and analog horror, plus some phenomenal sound design, to tell a story you've probably seen before.” – Nerdist Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Bride of Re-Animator (1990) 56% EDIT “While not as funny or as groundbreaking as the first movie, Bride of Re-Animator features a ton of really great effects.” – Nerdist Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Misery (1990) 86% EDIT “Misery is highly entertaining, and very funny despite the macabre atmosphere.” – Nerdist Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Despite a few creaky moments and some nauseating violence, I had a ball.” – Nerdist Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “I truly hope we get some more Benoit Blanc adventures because Wake Up Dead Man has fully restored my faith.” – Nerdist Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “If you let the movie sink into your amygdala, I think Reflection in a Dead Diamond‘s strange magic will win you over. And if you happen to be a big fan of weird old Italian spy movies, all the better.” – Nerdist Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 49% 4.5/5 EDIT “Keeper is not only Osgood Perkins’ best work to date, it’s up there as one of the most interesting and palpable horror films I’ve seen in a while. Go in with an open mind and zero plot expectations and allow it to ooze its way under your dermis.” – Nerdist Nov 13, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “From Beyond is a lot of fun.” – Nerdist Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 89% EDIT “While the movie’s situations are all horrific, the way they’re played and the bonkers-ness of the experiments get laughs. Re-Animator is also incredibly fortunate to have a star-making performance for Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West. ” – Nerdist Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 5/5 EDIT “The film has vivid characters and some terrific set pieces, and the tone ably jumps from the more comedic to the more horrific without whiplash. ” – Nerdist Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Weapons tells a full, terrifying, funny story that continues to baffle even after you know what’s going on. Ambiguous horror at its finest.” – Nerdist Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Easily the best Fantastic Four movie (faint praise), and firmly upper tier of recent MCU.” – Nerdist Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Superman is a good movie, a great start to the DCU, that addresses so many timely real-world issues. Legitimately what else could you want?” – Nerdist Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Putting character over spectacle helps Thunderbolts* achieve its goals nicely while never quite reaching for anything greater. But sometimes that’s enough.” – Nerdist Jun 20, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “When 28 Years Later works, I think it’s something close to beautiful.” – Nerdist Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “Starman is a rather profound love story. ” – Nerdist May 12, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 44% EDIT “C.H.U.D. is such a weird, disjointed melange of ideas and executions that there was no way it was possibly going to succeed, but that’s oddly why I think it’s one of the best horror movies of the ’80s.” – Nerdist May 9, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% EDIT “Despite a few cool set pieces, Attack of the Clones really doesn’t hold up, thanks to over-used blue screen and Ewan McGregor wearing a clearly glued on beard and wig. ” – Nerdist Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “This is a comedy about horrific, bloody deaths. If that kind of thing makes you laugh, you’ll really enjoy it too.” – Nerdist Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “A solidly fun movie with a really good cast. Thatcher is a captivating screen presence always and Quaid is right in his wheelhouse. ” – Nerdist Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 2/5 EDIT “Kraven the Hunter is yet another ignominious end for a cinematic universe that never even had one good movie to hang its hat on. ” – Nerdist Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu sits apart as not merely a remake or reimagining but a wholly singular interpretation of a book and film baked into the very fabric of popular culture. ” – Nerdist Dec 3, 2024 Full Review
