Send Help (2026) Directed by: Sam Raimi Disgusting scenes. Blood and puke all over. Witty conversations. This movie looks like your usual piece of entertainment. But it actually offers so much more. On the surface, things may seem all over the place. The characters are on a constant high. But the ending puts everything back on the ground. The story lands with a deeper purpose. The path toward the ending forces you to question the process. Every twist makes you ask how far the

Primate (2026) Directed by: Johannes Roberts In some films, you are expected to sit quietly and concentrate on every detail… This isn’t one of them. This movie thrives on audience participation, where loud reactions and over‑the‑top responses are highly encouraged. So make sure to experience it in theaters, surrounded by fellow moviegoers who are just as ready to join the fun.   Watch the R‑18 version on the big screen, where every cracked bone is visible. The story may be th

People We Meet On Vacation (2026) Directed by: Brett Harley 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆 is the girl your boyfriend swears you shouldn’t worry about, but she turns out to be exactly the opposite. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 is the guy who insists they’re just friends, but his feelings tell otherwise. Annoying and irritating, they don’t deserve to be leads of this movie. Instead, more stories should be written for people like 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵—who chooses to grow, be better, and turn lemons into lemonade. This movie is

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Directed by: Ric Roman Waugh In post‑apocalyptic stories, the will to live should be conveyed effectively. But here, all of them seem ready to die already. It’s just a matter of how and when. The movie is like an alternate universe of 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, except the death scenes aren’t creative. Disasters, both natural and manmade, passes by without leaving an impact. There’s very little intimacy in their conversations. When they do

Stranger Things Written & Directed by: Duffer Brothers How do you break up with someone who’s been with you for almost 10 years? As they always say, all good things must come to an end. That’s the bittersweet feeling while watching the finale episode. It’s not just about looking at the series’ plotholes and wormholes anymore. It’s about dealing with a possible hole in our lives as they leave us. From season 1, we’ve become self-proclaimed members of the Hellfire club. From un

The Housemaid (2025) Directed by: Paul Feig The most satisfying 2 hours and 11 minutes of your life is now on the big screen. Don’t flinch. Don’t run away. Don’t go for a bathroom break. Every twist is as explosive as a season finale. While other films take time to build suspense, this one keeps you on the edge of your seat—from the very first scene to the last.  You’ll never know which route the story is going to take. It constantly keeps you guessing and speculating. Just w

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Directed by: James Cameron The 3-hour runtime is not justifiable. The story is being stretched, even if it could’ve concluded sooner. Every time you think it’s about to hit the climax, it slows down, killing the momentum. This anti-climatic flow weakens some scenes, making them far less exciting than they should be. The duration may be long, but it’s not entirely a waste of time. There are redeeming moments, scattered in between, that keep you enga

Zootopia 2 (2025) Directed by: Jared Bush, Bryan Howard The mystery case, that they’re working on, is not as interesting and intriguing as before. Despite the twists, the outcome remains predictable. It's the same old story and message, just with new faces. Humanizing a venomous snake is pretty absurd and off-putting. No matter how cute the animation is, the portrayal doesn't sit right. Kids might interpret it the wrong way. The relationship between Judy and Nick was strongly

Wicked: For Good (2025) Directed by: Jon Chu Part 1 ends on a high note, so Part 2 tries to keep the momentum going. However, it’s being stretched for too long. Production numbers are continuously happening. Most songs rarely have a build up. They come and go without strong recall. The pacing didn’t slow down. It becomes relentless and exhausting for a while, with no breather to process the situation. In quiet moments, that’s when the film shines. As noise from the surroundin

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t (2025) Directed by: Ruben Fleischer If you’re a fan of Part 1 and Part 2, then it’s a no brainer to catch this sequel. The reunion feels good to witness. Nothing beats the original, but the new additions aren’t so bad. Prepare for a surprise that’ll surely make everyone happy. The story isn’t refreshing and gripping, coming across as a rehash of familiar television tropes. There’s a lot of talking to explain previous events and current happenings

Bugonia (2025) Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos When someone says there’s an alien, would you believe them? No matter which angle you’re looking from, it’s hard to believe the existence of aliens in this film. But the actors are so committed with their performances, you can’t help but give them the benefit of the doubt. Plot holes, even though recognizable, also need to be set aside. Detaching yourself from assumptions and preconceived notions, you lend an ear to what they’re sa

Die My Love (2025) Directed by: Lynne Ramsay Just like how the characters are shattered in pieces, the movie also likes to show things in fragments—which didn’t help in making a connection. Seeing them falling in love isn’t established well. And so seeing them falling apart doesn’t make any impact. Everything is cut short. Activities turn from mundane to insane instantly. Nonstop lunatic moments and gratuitous nudity never lead to actual conversations that can help in saving

Predator: Badlands (2025) Directed by: Dan Trachtenberg Not bad at all. From being boring and alienating, the movie transforms into something engaging. With the abundance of close up shots, you can see how grotesque the creatures are. Yuck, eww, and gross are the first few words you can think of. They all look evil and someone you can’t be friends with. But its unsettling nature grows with you. Since the characters are limited, they are given time to show what they’re capable

No Other Choice (2025) Directed by: Park Chan-wook Since the movie follows the journey of the lead character, you can’t help but question his every incompetent action. You convince yourself he has no other choice, but clearly, it’s the last resort. His thought process are both literal and figurative, resulting to an uneven pacing. Most people around him seem to have a sound mind, except for him. No matter the motivation, he is taking things too far. But then, the movie can ea

The Elixir (2025) Directed by: Kimo Stamboel There seems to be an unwritten law to insert some stupid characters in every zombie movie. It’s fun to shout at the screen sometimes, telling them what to do. But when all the characters are made stupid, the experience gets to be draining and irritating. It’s not fun anymore. It’s called lazy writing. This film is an insult to the audience’s intelligence. Most scenarios can be fixed with plain common sense, but the script always fi

Black Phone 2 (2025) Directed by: Scott Derrickson This sequel has the same characters as the first one. You might think it’s a continuation of their story, aiming to tackle their trauma and adjustments in life. But the movie takes on a different and boring route, with a script that isn’t faithful to the original. The Grabber loses his core identity and borrows abilities from other horror icons. The eerie, mysterious atmosphere before is now replaced with an ice skating rink

Tron: Ares (2025) Directed by: Joachim Rønning Once in your lifetime, a film comes along that will redefine your viewing experience forever. This is the one. Watching the trailer via mobile or regular screen makes it look plain and boring. But the true magic unfolds in IMAX 3D. From what you see, hear and feel, the film didn’t glitch in satisfying your senses—making every minute in the cinema worth it. Whenever the characters are in a fight scene, you don’t want it to end. Ev

Good Boy (2025) Directed by: Ben Leonberg Rated PG, this film might not be suitable for kids due to its dark theme. But for sure, anyone can empathize with the dog named Indy as the lead character. He is instantly established as a good boy, following instructions and behaving properly. Since his routine is mostly routinary and mundane, it’s easy to get bored with it. Just when you’re about to lose interest, the film teases you with something more. A lot of visions are popping
