  • “Crossing a Dawn” Reveals Hidden Depths
    By George W. Campbell
    October 23, 2026
    Crossing a Dawn (Zhao Badou, 2026) 4 out of 5 stars It feels like an understatement to say that dating in the 2020s can feel impossible. On top of safety concerns, the scene is full of people desperate for connection yet terrified of what that actually entails. So, in the unlikely event you meet the perfect person, what happens if you’ll only ever know them for one night? This is the question writer/director Zhao Badou poses in his feature ... >>
  • Middleburg Review: “Fatherland”
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    October 21, 2026
    Fatherland (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2026) 4½ out of 5 stars I confess that I have never read any works by German writer Thomas Mann (1875-1955), the 1929 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, though I have had, over the years, a few of them on my bookshelf, such as The Magic Mountain and Doctor Faustus. I tried at one point to watch Italian director Luchino Visconti’s 1971 adaptation of Mann’s Death in Venice but never made it very far. It is ... >>
  • “I See the Demon” Offers Ambitious Cerebral Horror
    By Patrick Howard
    October 20, 2026
    I See the Demon (Jacob Lees Johnson, 2025) 4½ out of 5 stars I See the Demon blends psychological horror with science fiction to craft a story filled with paranoia and disturbing revelations. Rather than relying on conventional horror tropes, the film builds tension through a fractured sense of reality. This warped reality challenges the viewers to question their senses. ... >>
  • “NAZA” Chronicles Bibi’s Killing Spree
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    October 8, 2026
    NAZA (Yuval Abraham/Rachel Szor, 2026) 5 out of 5 stars By now in this increasingly horrific century of ours, quoting Orwell has become quite the cliché, so forgive me for citing these famous lines from his seminal dystopian novel 1984 (published in 1949): “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” There are so many real-world issues to wish this can apply, given the rise once ... >>
  • New/Next Review: “The Haunting of Pennhurst”
    By Matt Patti
    October 8, 2026
    The Haunting of Pennhurst (Mike Attie/Katarina Poljak/Nathan R. Stenberg, 2026) 4 out of 5 stars As a haunted house enthusiast, I’ve visited most of the marquee attractions around the eastern Pennsylvania region. I remember when first learning about “Pennhurst Asylum” that I found the idea to be in poor taste. Holding a haunted attraction at the site of a former state institution that was notorious for the awful treatment of its residents and ... >>
