Speak No Evil
Mostly, this feels like cheap thrills with little to say about the terror.

The Front Room
What keeps this moving along are its central performances and strange sense of humor, though it's still not enough to hit that next level.

Blink Twice
a fascinating psychological thriller; the type that could only be made by a first-time director who doesn’t care about genre rules.

Trap
It is entertaining seeing this maniac try to think himself out of trouble for a while, because it isn’t until later that its flaws take over

Oddity
This isn’t a story about twists and turns; this is about a mood. Even when I saw a reveal coming, I was entertained by the how.

Longlegs
Osgood Perkins effectively generates tension in individual scenes, but can’t quite sustain it throughout.

The Watchers
The movie itself isn’t particularly scary, but the setup, unsettling location and pacing went a long way in keeping my attention.

Civil War
Tense, thought-provoking and hard to shake.

Love Lies Bleeding
It is exciting to see a confident, assured, voice telling an oddly distinct female story. Rose Glass is one to watch and this is one to see.

Out Of Darkness
Overall, it is okay, with a few strong suspense scenes and, at only 82 minutes, it gets in and out efficiently.
