Tinsman Road (2025) Review – Seriously Sad Story Told Slooow
Found footage indie Tinsman Road asks for a lot of patience, but it just might reward you for it. Director Robbie Banfitch crafts an incredibly raw, analog-style investigation into a missing family member that easily rivals the heavy existential dread of Lake Mungo. While the emotional weight and creepy audio design are fantastic, the movie desperately needed a ruthless editor. At over two hours long, this slow burn mystery is padded with repetitive scenes that will definitely test your endurance.
Sawtooth Mountain (2026) Review – Misleading Slow-Burn Thriller
If you are looking for a Bigfoot creature feature, you need to look elsewhere. Matt Kincses’s Sawtooth Mountain (2026) uses Sasquatch purely as promotional bait, delivering a slow burn indie thriller instead. The gorgeous Pacific Northwest scenery and decent lead performances can only do so much to save a movie burdened by a boring first half and a completely nonsensical finale.
Nightborn (2026) Ending Explained – It’s More Than a Metaphor
We are taking a deep dive into the woods to explain the ending of Hanna Bergholm’s Nightborn (2026). If you are wondering why baby Kuura has a tail, what was actually up with Saga, or how Jon foolishly sealed his own fate, we have all the answers. Read our full breakdown of this Finnish folk horror and its wild changeling twists.
Ice Cream Man (2026) Ending Explained – Who Was Really in the Grave?
Still trying to figure out the ridiculous ending to Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man (2026)? We are breaking down the convoluted cemetery twist, the real identity of the town priest, and exactly why Jonathan Smiley targeted the Mayfair family. Read our full explanation for this thoroughly awful splatter mess.
Ice Cream Man (2026) Review – It’s Just a Sticky Mess
Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man (2026) is an utterly soulless splatter flick that completely wastes a fun premise. Completely bogged down by repetitive gore, a charmless villain, and very clumsy use of generative AI, this is a massive step backwards from Thanksgiving. Save your money and skip this derivative mess.

Nightborn (2026) Review – Fun Folklore Fantasy Horror
Director Hanna Bergholm returns with Nightborn (2026), a fantasy horror that trades the usual heavy handed misery of postpartum movies for dark comedy and absurdity. While the premise is highly derivative and the relentless baby crying will absolutely test your patience, stellar acting from Seidi Haarla and Rupert Grint keeps things highly entertaining. It is a surprisingly fun, campy B-movie that leans hard into its ancient folklore roots.
Black Box (2026) Review – Enjoyable Sci-Fi Horror at 30,000 Feet
Black Box (2026) starts out as a messy airplane disaster movie before taking a wild turn into Lovecraftian survival horror at 30,000 feet. Despite some truly terrible camera work and questionable CGI, this Prime Video creature feature delivers a surprisingly fun, claustrophobic ride with a high body count. If you can survive the rough first twenty minutes, it is well worth a watch.
SOULM8TE (2026) Review – Enjoyable Cheesy B-Movie Fun
Director Kate Dolan heads into the M3GAN universe with Soulm8te (2026), a campy sci-fi thriller about a grieving widower who buys a companion android and stupidly disables her safety protocols. While it lacks the razor-sharp script and slick presentation of something like Companion, Lily Sullivan delivers a fun, uncanny performance as the limb-snapping AI. Go in expecting 1950s-style robot cheese rather than serious eroticism and you will have a good time.
The Devil’s Mouth (2026) Review – A Killer Shark With No Teeth
Amazon Prime’s The Devil’s Mouth (2026) traps a talented Kathryn Newton in a painfully dull, PG-13 cave shark thriller. With barely ten minutes of actual aquatic action stretched across a bloated runtime, you will spend most of this movie watching unlikable characters clinging to wet rocks in the dark. Skip this bloodless slog unless you are a die hard Newton fan.
Velvicide (2026) Review – Flawed but Enjoyable Indie Horror
Taking a spin on the Tubi roulette wheel brings us to Velvicide (2026), a micro-budget psychological horror that punches way above its weight. While it suffers from a padded runtime and laughable props like a googly-eyed villain mask, an absolutely stellar lead performance from Gea Rose Henry makes this a character study worth your time. If you like intimate indie horror, check it out.
