The Friend
Perhaps adults watching could discuss The Friend’s themes. But I’d also argue that you don’t necessarily need to watch this tearjerker to have a meaningful conversation about the significant themes this story addresses.
Freaky Tales
Freaky Tales brings violence, Nazis and crude language to the forefront of its story—but forgets to make us care about its characters.
Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom
Through its intense bloodshed and concerning spiritual ideas, Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom only succeeds in desecrating itself.
Locked
‘Locked’ pits two deeply unsympathetic characters against each other in a taut, gruesome morality play about crime and punishment.
H— of a Summer
Imagine a horror-comedy smoothie with Scream, Friday the 13th and Forrest Gump as the ingredients. Does that sound like it’d be a tasty treat?

Ash is a jumbled sci-fi horror flick that seems far more interested in making its characters bleed than it does making them compelling.
G20
In ‘G20,’ President Danielle Sutton must fight to save her family and fellow world leaders in this violent, trope-heavy action flick.
Captain America: Brave New World

Director Barry Levinson has created a taut and textured mob movie. But that doesn’t make it an easy trip to the theater.
A Working Man
‘A Working Man’ unleashes a former black-op soldier to eviscerate human traffickers. But will it leave you cheering … or blanching?
