Review of Midnighters (2018)

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

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

Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

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

Review of Lizzie (2018)

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

Review of Venom (2018)

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

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

Review of Mandy (2018)

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

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
