Review of The Ritual (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The Ritual adeptly establishes an oppressively doom-rich atmosphere, and then proceeds to pitilessly slash into the viewer's subconscious with…

Review of Midnighters (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Midnighters doesn't do anything that hasn't been done before, but it executes its formulae with a kind of cold-blooded focus that's consistently…

Review of Before I Wake (2016)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

More of a blend of fantasy, sci-fi, and domestic drama than straight horror, Flanagan's film is clunkier and cheaper-looking than his other…

Review of The Final Year (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Hardcore political junkies are the only ones likely to find it outright enthralling, and Barker does nothing to make the fly-on-the-wall raw…

Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Stalin serves up the cringe comedy of tyranny, where much of the humor lies in the way that the characters twist themselves into hopeless knots…

Review of Lizzie (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

Lizzie doesn't do much to distinguish itself, either as a morbid slice of feminist mythmaking or as a brooding work of psychological portraiture…

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

Until its admittedly nail-biting climax, this new Halloween isn't especially moody, tense, or emotionally fraught…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

The entire endeavor has a bitter aftertaste that frequently overwhelms the sensibility of mad spectacle that Fleischer and his performers strive…

Review of First Man (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

First Man's privileging of the forbidding reality of the space program points to a kind of anti-triumphant masochism, a belief that the destination…

Review of Blaze (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

Blaze's methods are more poetic than proclamatory, focused primarily on transforming the raw facts of Blaze Foley's life into an elliptical…

Review of Suspiria (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

This new Suspiria is chilly and cerebral, a thesis on all the unsettled atrocities of the past and present, couched in the vocabulary of feminist…

Review of Slice (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

This misbegotten horror-comedy is a chintzy, all-over-the-road mess of supernatural and slasher flick tropes, served up with piping hot unfunniness…

Review of The Dark (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

The Dark is a novel, intriguing riff on myriad monster tropes - zombie, revenant, werewolf, serial killer - that remains its own defiantly…

Review of Apostle (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

The director's propensity for indulgence leads to numerous scenes that - while often harrowing in the moment - feel protracted, meandering,…

Review of Cam (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

An existential techno-horror meltdown for the current, performative era of the digital age…

Review of Mandy (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

Mandy eschews rationality for the Rule of Cool, but Cosmatos presents every splatter of nutzoid weirdness with such ecstatic panache, it's…

Review of Await Further Instructions (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

In its final stretch, Await Further Instructions reveals itself as a hollow, hamfisted polemic, one with all the profundity of a bumper sticker…

Review of The Nun (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

The jump-scares are dispensed with a kind of clockwork disregard for the broader drama or stakes; like sugary morsels of adrenaline, they're…

Review of The Witch in the Window (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 06 Dec 2018

The Witch in the Window never gels into anything substantial; if feels less like a full-fledged horror film than a muted, bargain-bin approximation…
