It Ends

Flaws and all, this road trip thriller marks a strong directorial debut with its talented ensemble, straightforward premise, and existential dread.

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl

Pain, grief, and a complicated family history permeate this flawed yet worthwhile African drama from A24.

The Terrifier franchise hits its stride in this third entry, delivering a finely tuned murder spree that shocks and entertains thanks to strong leads and boundlessly creative bloodbaths.

Megalopolis

Passion, perseverance, and a talented ensemble are not enough to save writer-director Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited magnum opus.

Oz Perkins' serial killer thriller offers little to latch onto beyond beautiful cinematography and a thick, spooky atmosphere.
