MOVIE REVIEW: STREET TRASH (2024) is a gooey reimagining of a cult classic that improves on the original
We love 80’s horror here at Cult Classics. From Return of the Living Dead to They Live and The Thing, the 1980’s are rich in material to mine for genre nostalgia and material to reimagine. But while some films from that decade have been both reimagined and pseudo-sequelized like The Thing was in 2011, the…

Movie Review – HERETIC is one of the Best Genre Films of 2024 with Strong Character Work
Beck and Woods’ exploration of religious belief and control owes more than a little to their past work, but strong performances from Sophie Thatcher and Hugh Grant makes this release from A24 a must-see.

FILM REVIEW: Problemista (2024) is a stylish and surreal view at navigating the pitfalls of immigrant life in America
Julio Torres’ feature film debut is a wonderfully surreal and affecting comedy about navigating towards your authentic self as a working immigrant.

FILM REVIEW: Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE PART TWO is a feast for the senses.
Director Denis Villeneuve’s conclusion to his Dune saga is a provocative meditation on the fall of a corrupt feudal system turned totalitarian and the rise of a radicalized fundamentalist fascist regime.
