Walden

Walden (2023) ★★

So…Emile Hirsch weirdly resembling Jack Black playing the character Walden Dean? Sorry, but this was mislabeled horror/thriller, as it lacks really any

Deliver Us

Deliver Us (2023) ★★★

A few interesting concepts, but nothing to move the needle in the film theme of religious horror / antichrist / messiah baby

Older Gods (2023) ★★

Some refer to this as Lovecraftian, but it’s very loosely and generally based on Lovecraft’s concepts of sleeping gods and cosmic horror.

The Passenger

The Passenger (2023) ★★★½

I had higher hopes for this film, but it was a bleak gritty road trip movie and almost coming-of-age (for character Randolph),

Nefarious

Nefarious (2023) ★★★★

A quality psychological thriller with a stellar performance by veteran actor Sean Patrick Flanery. This movie takes place within the jail in

Sisu

Sisu (2022) ★★★

Easy pick to watch: bad-ass hero who refuses to die paired against Nazis, so it’s easy 3 stars, but nothing more from

Audition

Audition (1999) ★★½

It’s been a long time since I first watched this film, but it just doesn’t hold its own as time has passed.
