By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com There is something refreshing about a movie that understands the assignment. Directed by Johnny Campbell , known for his work on Netflix’s Dracula  and episodes of Westworld, Cold Storage takes a simple premise and runs wild with it. Backed by Samuel Goldwyn Films and StudioCanal, this dark comedy military outbreak film delivers exactly what it promises: biohazard chaos, outrageous gore, and a whole lot of messy fun. At its core, Cold Storage

By Ashely Saunders | Wearecritix.com Hamlet is one of the most adapted stories of all time and the retellings vary from amazing (1994's The Lion King) to let’s just forget that happened. Scarlet is a fantastical and intriguing take on the story that transports us to the Otherworld where life and death are intertwined, and we must decide what it means to truly live.    More than 400 years after Shakespeare's original work, the story of a young man destroyed by the need to av

By: Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com When it comes to horror, it’s always worth revisiting the classics, especially when a filmmaker finds a way to make them feel alive again. Dracula  is one of those reinterpretations that understands the assignment. We all know the name. We all know the legend. But this version of Dracula  is told with a tenderness and romantic weight that separates it from the pack. Before diving into my thoughts, let’s set the table. The film is directed by

Written By: Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com Sam Raimi is headed back to theaters with another thriller, and if Send Help  proves anything, it’s that the master of dark humor and nerve-shredding tension hasn’t lost a single step. Directed by Raimi and starring Rachel McAdams alongside Dylan O’Brien, Send Help  strands its characters on a secluded island and uses that isolation as fuel for something far creepier, stranger, and more emotionally grounded than I was expecting. This

Marvel Studios has taken another sharp turn with Wonder Man , an eight-episode Disney+ series that quietly rejects spectacle in favor of character, introspection, and industry satire. I’ve seen all eight episodes, and while there’s genuine substance here, this series is likely to divide audiences, especially with massive Marvel event films looming less than a year away. Wonder Man   is not a hype machine, and it is definitely not an Avengers on-ramp. Instead, it’s a surprisin

By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com Paramount has gone completely apes with its latest horror thriller, Primate , and honestly, that might be the most accurate way to describe this film. From the moment I hit play, I knew exactly what kind of ride I was in for, and I mean that in the best possible way. Directed by Johannes Roberts, Primate  leans hard into creature-feature terror and never pretends to be anything other than a gnarly, suspense-filled crowd pleaser. Before I get i

Written by Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com Sometimes, sequels aim simply to repeat the original. The Black Phone 2 , directed again by Scott Derrickson  and produced by Blumhouse  and Universal Pictures , goes a step further: it expands the nightmare. Set squarely in the Halloween corridor, the film reunites audiences with one of modern horror’s most unsettling villains: The Grabber  (Ethan Hawke). What follows is a slow-burn, tension-stacked follow-up that leans into trauma, t

Written by Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com Sometimes the films that stick with you most are the ones you never saw coming. Affection , directed by B.T. Meza   and starring genre favorite Jessica Rothe  ( Happy Death Day , Boy Kills World ), is one of those films. I didn’t seek this one out, it found me. And I’m glad it did. Premiering on October 18, 2025 , during this year’s Brooklyn Horror Film Festival , Affection  is a slow-burning, skin-crawling thriller that gaslights its
