All You Need Is Kill
Infirmary
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Pineda spins what could be a run-of-the-mill found footage horror film into something darker and more unsettling on a much larger scale than just another creepy old hospital.
Mother of Flies
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The Adams’ folk horror tale is full of stunning imagery, from practical effects involving a python to a Caesarean birth, a climatic one something akin to a magic act…if you think you know where everything is headed, guess again.
Night Patrol
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: I admire its energy and willingness to go as big and bold as possible. Not everything about it works, and that’s totally ok.
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: What I really enjoyed beyond the over-the-top gore and humor is the way in which this character complexity is handled. Carr and Hawkins each seek to play both sides and bridge the gap, but they chose [an irredeemable] third side to do so.
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Night Patrol plays with the gothic figure of the vampire alongside American history to confront how little the country has progressed over the past 160 years, and to deal with the rightful growing rage of communities tired of living under the thumb of white supremacy.
Primate
Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: The family’s story is heartfelt, but their ineptitude overshadows the emotional thread. Paired with the uneven gore, it’s difficult to stay engaged with the movie no matter how much you may want to.
The Rip
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: This is a good, albeit imperfect, crime drama. It features a strong cast, a compelling mystery, and some exciting set pieces.
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Damon and Affleck have had their individual ups and downs throughout their careers, but when they choose to work together, the results are usually good-to-great, as they are in The Rip. It’s a different take on a crime thriller that features a story that will keep viewers guessing until the very end.

The Choral
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The teen sex comedy antics can’t help but feel weird nonetheless considering the subject matter. But a lot of what occurs is worthwhile. Especially the futility.
Dead Man’s Wire
Sarah Gopaul @ Imagery at the Movies
- Excerpt: The film’s authenticity allows contemporary audiences to both connect with the narrative and be astonished at its incompatibility with current times.
Fackham Hall
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: Funny spoof of Brit costume dramas.
Sheepdog
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: meat and potatoes filmmaking on a well worn subject that succeeds with its realistic portrait of small town community and every day heroes.
Silent Night, Deadly Night
- Excerpt: This film is an improvement on the original. It replaces the standard slasher fare with a more complex story that forces audiences to reserve their judgment.
Sister Midnight
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Sound of Falling
- Excerpt: Equal parts challenging, upsetting, and beautiful, The Sound of Falling is as much a cry for help on behalf of everyone, especially women, who was raised to suffer in silence as it is a love letter to the fellowship between those who do suffer.
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: I couldn’t quite vibe with the pacing or structure due to never quite knowing who was talking. But my God was this a gorgeous work of sensory cinema.
