A cold, chrome, and suspenseful 'Where's Waldo?' for two hours and five minutes.

The Meg
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
The Meg has probably some of the worst dialogue and character development since the Sharknado movies. ..At least they know where they lie in the foodchain.

The Perfection
Nightmare on Film Street

The Possession of Hannah Grace
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
There are too many horror elements with potential at The Possession of Hannah Grace's disposal that get smothered by Hollywood Horror Juice (TM).

The Wind
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
The Wind delivers a subtle, paranormal fright - in a place that doesn't offer much in the way of excitement. And, I'm pretty sure that was the point.

Underwater
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
Though pretty standard action-horror fare, Underwater came at a time when winter nights are long and the popcorn hot. Audiences could do far worse than trekking to the bottom of the sea.

Us
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
Us' biggest success comes down to its impeccable casting. With everyone pulling double-duty, it's insane the depth of performance we see ...

Velvet Buzzsaw
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
The horror feels stitched into Velvet Buzzsaw. Plucked and borrowed from films that came before it, twirled in wet paint, and utilized without concrete rhyme or reason.

You Might Be the Killer
Nightmare on Film Street

Every scene we're reminded that Cabin in the Woods exists, and that we should go watch it. Perhaps instead.

Feral
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
Though Feral is more a slow and brooding drama than an outright horror film, it expertly uses the faux documentary format to explore the life of a character so devoutly lost.

B&B
Nightmare on Film Street
Joe Lipsett
B&B is less action-oriented and more talky than traditional thrillers, but its topical subject matter and good performances make it one to seek out

Game of Death
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
Game of Death is quiet, edgy, dark and violent. It's got a faux-retro vibe in only the way that 2000's babies will appreciate. It's the Spring Breakers of Horror.
