Review of Raw (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Mar 2017

The film gained an unfortunate reputation as a gross-out cannibal shocker on the festival circuit, and while that categorization is not entirely,…

Review of The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Feb 2017

Starts off strong but dilutes its impact with every consecutive reveal…

Review of XX (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Feb 2017

The four participating directors were all given complete creative freedom for their films, limited only by budget and running time…

Review of Fifty Shades Darker (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Feb 2017

It’s a female-driven fantasy, for sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not toxic. And God help the poor woman who believes it…

Review of A Dog's Purpose (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jan 2017

So what is a dog’s purpose…

Review of xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Jan 2017

The essential question here, of course, is how kickass those action scenes are, since no one’s watching an xXx movie for the plot…

Review of Passengers (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2016

The effect of Passengers is to turn frothy sci-fi romance into an astonishingly retrograde statement on autonomy and consent, and to turn one…

Review of The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Dec 2016

Cox and Hirsch are both accomplished actors with an easy, believable chemistry, and Cox in particular has the gravitas to really sell some…

Review of Beyond the Gates (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Dec 2016

It’s not intensely scary, but it is faithful to its ’80s influences, right on down to the deadbeat dad…

Review of Incarnate (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 02 Dec 2016

Incarnate is a comic-book movie in search of a comic book…

Review of The Love Witch (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 Nov 2016

If The Love Witch simply raised the profile of its director, Anna Biller — a true auteur who not only wrote, directed, produced, and edited…

Review of Trash Fire (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 03 Nov 2016

While it doesn’t include any literal blazing piles of garbage, Trash Fire is spiteful and unpleasant from beginning to end, using every technique…

Review of Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 19 Oct 2016

Flanagan has a couple of solid genre films on his résumé already; at this point in his career, it would have been surprising if Origin Of…

Review of Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 19 Oct 2016

Director Greg Mottola deserves some credit for trying to give the film a little bit of cinematic flair, something that’s lacking in many…

Review of Shin Godzilla (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Oct 2016

So, yes, Shin Godzilla is dialogue-heavy, and sometimes it fails to make much sense…

Review of Little Sister (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 11 Oct 2016

A slight, sweetly cynical indie dramedy about family and belonging and the ways we cope with life’s disappointments…

Review of The Greasy Strangler (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Oct 2016

It’s not an attractive comparison, but The Greasy Strangler in some ways recalls The Human Centipede III, in that it raises questions about…

Review of Phantasm (1979)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Oct 2016

Phantasm is wildly imaginative and legitimately creepy, confronting death and mourning as part of the coming-of-age process while also delivering…

Review of Phantasm: Ravager (2016)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Oct 2016

But even though it doesn’t make much sense, Phantasm is wildly imaginative and legitimately creepy, confronting death and mourning as part…

Review of Split (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for AV Club (2,778) on 27 Sep 2016

Split is a solid example of the type of elevated B-movie potboiler at which Shyamalan excels, and to which he thankfully seems to be re-committing…
