Review of Hypnotic (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 28 Oct 2021

The twists in Hypnotic may not be brilliant, but they are abundant, making for the sort of straight-to-streaming treat best enjoyed on a couch,…

Review of The Manor (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 07 Oct 2021

Review of Madres (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 07 Oct 2021

A subdued score and some by-the-book camerawork can make this urgent story drag, but what it lacks in sting it makes up for with an original…

Review of The Addams Family 2 (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 01 Oct 2021

Where it could lean into the typically bone-dry Addams family humor, this film more often relies on poop jokes, explosions and the musical…

Review of The Colony (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 26 Aug 2021

Though it centers on one woman, anything we might stand to learn about her own developing values is quickly swallowed by overcomplicated narratives…

Review of Don't Breathe 2 (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 12 Aug 2021

Don’t Breathe 2 is plenty lively, full of violence and action, but a rancid narrative (and some seriously terrible dialogue) overpowers the script…

Review of Settlers (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 22 Jul 2021

Settlers purports to challenge violence against women and colonialism…

Review of The Forever Purge (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 01 Jul 2021

Words like “colonialism” and “the American dream” are thrown around, to little avail…

Review of Werewolves Within (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 24 Jun 2021

Werewolves Within darts between sharp visual gags, intricately choreographed scenes and a few standout performances, but its climax lands with a thud…

Review of My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To (2020)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 24 Jun 2021

This may be dark fodder for a family project, but the result is a visually striking meditation on obligation and complicity…

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

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 03 Jun 2021

“The Devil Made Me Do It” is an excellently spooky work of fiction. It would be even better if it privileged ghoulishness over gospel…

Review of Seance (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 21 May 2021

Seance meanders for most of its running time, wavering between tones and styles. It’s both self-aware and overly serious…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 13 May 2021

The premise is disingenuous at best and, in a moment where scores of citizens are calling for widespread police reform, fearmongering at worst…

Review of Oxygen (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 12 May 2021

The premise is simple, but this twist-filled script by LeBlanc gives Laurent ample opportunity to shine…

Review of Stowaway (2021)

By Lena Wilson (121) for The New York Times (9,847) on 22 Apr 2021

For all the empathy it expects of its viewers — every character cries onscreen at least once — the film is troublingly removed from human reality…
