Review of Fear Street: 1978 (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 Jul 2021

The kills come and go with a perfunctory swiftness that suggests a condescension to the material, not a genuine affection for it…

Review of Fear Street: 1994 (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Jun 2021

1994 channels that legacy of give and take, between teen horror of the page and screen, into a polished nostalgia object of secondhand thrills,…

Review of Black Widow (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jun 2021

For all the work this spinoff puts into generating a traumatic origin story for its moonlighting superhero, it would be a stretch to say that…

Review of Werewolves Within (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Jun 2021

At least Ruben maintains his comic instincts and crack timing throughout…

Review of Gaia (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jun 2021

Even when the story takes on biblical overtones, the melodrama never blossoms…

Review of Luca (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Jun 2021

The generous read on Luca is that it has the sweet simplicity of a fairy tale, something that tired kids and the exhausted parents reading…

Review of Infinite (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Jun 2021

What Infinite fatally lacks is personality…

Review of Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Jun 2021

What the set pieces have in common with everything else in this dunderheaded, insultingly mechanical franchise hopeful is the overwhelming…

Review of The Amusement Park (1975)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Jun 2021

The Amusement Park passes in a deranged blur; it’s a glorified PSA made with the means (and in the spirit of) antagonistic outsider art…

Review of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Jun 2021

The problem here isn’t the dramatic liberties, though…

Review of A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 May 2021

At just 97 minutes (only a hair longer than the first Quiet Place), his sequel feels pared down to a fault, with no room to further flesh out…

Review of Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 May 2021

Agreeably straightforward, Those Who Wish Me Dead is also thin as kindling: It threatens to disperse into embers as you watch it…

Review of Army of the Dead (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 May 2021

In a way, this B-movie on an A budget gets closer to the values of George Romero, the godfather of zombie cinema, than Snyder’s actual, hyper-adrenalized…

Review of Separation (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Apr 2021

The film’s lone value may be setting up the perfect answer to that “improve a movie with one letter” challenge: Add an indefinite article…

Review of Antharam (2022)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Apr 2021

The film’s lone value may be setting up the perfect answer to that “improve a movie with one letter” challenge: Add an indefinite article…

Review of Separation (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Apr 2021

The film’s lone value may be setting up the perfect answer to that “improve a movie with one letter” challenge: Add an indefinite article…

Review of Together Together (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Apr 2021

It’s an ode to the way that even impermanent relationships can be profoundly meaningful…

Review of In the Earth (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Apr 2021

In The Earth feeds the indiscriminate appetites of gorehounds and bong-rippers alike…

Review of Voyagers (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 Apr 2021

Maybe the film’s escalating conflict would be more exciting if the characters themselves (played by the likes of Tye Sheridan and Lily-Rose…

Review of The Unholy (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Apr 2021

This is the flimsiest of hokum, possessing all the gravity of a bible salesman hocking his wares outside the subway…
