Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

Review of Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018)

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

Review of The Devil's Doorway (2018)

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

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

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

Review of The Noonday Witch (2016)

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

Review of Dead Shack (2017)

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

Review of Demon House (2019)

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

The expected slurry of chintzy re-creations, leading interview questions, and endless, tedious footage that doesn't reveal much of anything…

Review of Mom and Dad (2018)

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

Review of Cold Hell (2017)

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

Review of A Quiet Place (2016)

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

It may not be bracingly original, but Krasinski's film executes its simple (one might say atavistic) formula with a wonderful intensity and focus…

Review of Down a Dark Hall (2018)

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

Dispiritingly bland gothic nonsense, more concerned with gloomy atmosphere and trite adolescent angst than with creating a compelling story…

Review of Mohawk (2018)

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

The low-budget seams are obvious, but the film is more of a modest success than a noble failure, thanks to the lean, evocative premise, which…

Review of Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)

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

Review of Hostiles (2017)

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

Review of The Ritual (2017)

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