A swanky wedding, a tiny island, and a murder — this is how Netflix’s The Perfect Couple begins, and it unfurls in the tense and white-knuckle...

If there’s a complaint to be leveled at Netflix’s otherwise very good whodunit The Perfect Couple, it’s that the ending is a little predictable. I,...

It wouldn’t take much effort to count up the obvious influences running through the veins of The Perfect Couple, Netflix’s six-part all-star whodunit. Both Knives...

Snowpiercer has never had a shortage of villains. In Season 4 the Big Bad honors have vacillated between Milius and Wilford, but Episode 7, “A Moth...

I’m getting sick of saying this, but anthologies are always uneven. For horror anthologies like Terror Tuesday: Extreme, this might be even more true. Horror...

I confess to being reassured that several people in the Ready Steady Cut Reddit community found the premise of Netflix’s The Accident to be as silly and unintentionally hilarious...

Lee Daniels’ The Deliverance will be reduced to an exorcism story. Reducing movie analysis is a usual get-out when dealing with a provocative movie about...

The ending of The Frog has just the right amount of ambiguity and payoff. Some things are left unresolved, sure, but some important matters are...

Set across two timelines and multiple viewpoints, Netflix’s Fincher-like serial killer thriller The Frog isn’t exactly easy to follow. Fear not, as I’ve put together...

The Frog continues a loose trend I’d vaguely describe as the Westernization of Korean television. It’s not necessarily something you’d notice unless you watch as...

I wouldn’t say that “Bell the Cat” is entirely Mr. Wilford-centric, but it’s close enough. Episode 6 splits its focus more than any prior installment...

Don’t let the shocking and effective opening fool you – Episode 5 of Terror Tuesday: Extreme, “Spectral Class”, is pretty rubbish. It’s easily one of...

Honesty is the best policy, a concept taken to something of an extreme in Terror Tuesday: Extreme Episode 4. “The Vow” is the strongest story...

Unlike “Our Little Sister” and “Wedding Dress”, which are largely undone by being a little too pacey for their own good, Episode 3 of Terror...

I’ll say this for Episode 2 of Terror Tuesday: Extreme, which is simply titled “Wedding Dress” — it has a good sense of visual horror. You...

Strange Darling may very well be one of the best horror films of 2024 — despite having premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2023 — due...

I know what you are thinking. I’m a critic, so I’m going to predictably pan The Union as a trashy popcorn movie as part of...

Things are starting to heat up in Snowpiercer Season 4, though perhaps that isn’t exactly the right word given at the end of Episode 5 a major...
