The Absence of Edenis a thriller that originally made the rounds through film festivals in 2023, but has since been picked up by Roadside Attractions and Vertical Entertainment for a theatrical release. The film tackles the tense subject of border security as an agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is caught between moral dilemmas. When he crosses paths with a woman fleeing from cartel violence, the duo form an unlikely partnership as they attempt to help an innocent girl surviv...
Told Through Two Perspectives
Initially told through parallel perspectives, The Absence of Eden provides a dramatic humanist story from both sides of the border. Zoe Saldaña gets a chance to shine in a grittier type of role, showcasing a side of herself that you'd rarely get to see from her prior roles in the MCU. Similarly, Garrett Hedlund does an ample job of performing opposite of Saldaña, having previously dazzled in movies like Mudbound and The Marsh King's Daughter.

Depending on what you want from him, Nicolas Cage has demonstrated that he can perform in a variety of interesting roles. However, Arcadian looks to bring him back to his old action-oriented self. Cage plays the role of Paul, a father of two teenage boys — Joseph (Jaeden Martell) and Thomas (Maxwell Jenkins) — who reside within a remote farmhouse. It'd be an idyllic life, were it not for one thing: they're living in the post-apocalypse. Forced to spend every day fighting for their lives, this...
A Straightforward Action Flick
While Arcadian may not be the most original film conceptually, that's not to suggest that it's somehow bad. Quite the opposite, actually, as a familiar formula allows for Arcadian to really nail down what makes the best horror action films really effective. Fantastic creature designs, a steadfast performance from Nicolas Cage, and some surprisingly effective performances from both Jaeden Martell and Maxwell Jenkins make for an entertaining film through and through. The limited cast is arguabl...

Sasquatch Sunset will likely be one of 2024's most unique films, and considering how early we are into the year, that's certainly a huge accomplishment. Co-directed by the brotherly duo of David and Nathan Zellner, Sasquatch Sunsetsees Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner living life in the remote wilderness. Although, we neglected to mention one thing — they're playing a family of Sasquatches. Adorned in elaborate costumes and makeup, we follow the family...
A Surreal Story About Sasquatches
Let's be honest: Sasquatch Sunset probably won't be for everyone. Whether it's because of its lofty premise or its bold approach in bringing it to life, sans any form of dialogue, Sasquatch Sunset is a film that needs an open mind to fully appreciate. However, if you're willing to experiment at the cinema, what you'll find is a unique film that delivers laughs and drama aplenty. Just don't go into it expecting something graceful. These are Sasquatches, after all.

Read Our Review Sometimes we just need a straightforward creature feature to suit our horror needs. Luckily, this Australian film written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner looks to deliver exactly that. Those with arachnophobia need not apply, as Sting tells the story of a young girl's pet spider growing into a terrifying monstrosity. With her family in danger, she'll have to come face-to-face with the arachnid in order to save their lives. Alyla Browne, Ryan Corr, Penelope Mitchell, and Jer...
Not So Itsy-Bitsy
While it may not be as over-the-top as other spider-centric horror films — namely Eight-Legged Freaks — there's something to appreciate in Sting's deliberately small scope and intimate scares. It's a horror film for horror fans, one that carries a sense of self-awareness while not necessarily putting down its own monstrous premise. Those who love fantastic creature effects will also love to know that Weta Workshop, the same studio responsible for the many physical props in Peter Jackson's Lor...

Read Our Review Even without the involvement of director Alex Garland, a film with a title like Civil War was bound to draw a bundle of attention. Civil Warwas both directed and written by Garland, and sees the United States engulfed in the Second American Civil War, a country-spanning conflict that sees the nation unevenly divided into four territories. As a group of war journalists attempt to cover the madness taking place, they'll end up getting caught up in the hail of gunfire and munitio...
Alex Garland's Latest (And Maybe Last) Directed Film
Released on the 163rd anniversary of the American Civil War, Garland's Civil War marks what may very well be his last film in the director's chair. Thankfully, it's one heck of a film to end on. More of an examination of war journalism than radical political divides, Civil Warcreates a harrowing exploration of the United States as it's embroiled in a bitter self-contained conflict, delivering anxious scene after anxious scene in a violent odyssey. It's a story delivered from an outside perspe...

Read Our Review Horror franchises continue to be a staple of yearly film releases, but one in particular drew some significant attention shortly after it debuted. The First Omen, a prequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen, was directed by Arkasha Stevenson in her first-ever feature-length film. Nell Tiger Free stars as Margaret Daino, an American woman working at a church in Rome circa 1971. As she tends to the orphans who reside within the church, however, rumblings of a horrifying conspi...
A Surprisingly Effective Legacy Prequel
The First Omen stands out from other horror prequels, not only because of its impressive production values, but because of how it utilizes its existence as a prequel to its fullest advantage. Showing reverence to the original 1976 film, on top of revamping the original's premise for modern audiences, allows The First Omen to entertain even the most critical of horror fans, especially when you consider Arkasha Stevenson's background. Having previously worked in television, specifically Season...

Read Our Review From the moment it was revealed to the public, Dev Patel's Monkey Man certainly turned heads. After originally climbing to fame via his breakout role in Slumdog Millionaire, Patel has now made his directorial debut with this exciting action film set in India. Kid (Dev Patel) barely makes a living in the criminal underworld, crushing bones and oozing blood in an underground fight club. But, when years of abuse and squalor finally become too much to bear, mysterious revelations...
An Action Movie With Something to Say
Even with the comparisons to John Wick being plentiful, Monkey Manmakes a concentrated effort to not only tell a compelling action story, but to do so in a way that hasn't been done before. A focus on Indian culture meshes with Dev Patel's brutal history with stuntwork and physical performances, all in service of tackling themes surrounding India's caste system and systemic corruption. Patel gives it his all in this film, so much so that he even suffered multiple injuries during its productio...

Read Our Review Whether he's being starkly serious or poking fun at his action hero persona, Liam Neeson is usually a safe bet whenever he's in front of the camera. His latest venture, In the Land of Saints and Sinners, is yet more evidence of this. Directed by Robert Lorenz, who previously collaborated with Neeson for 2021's The Marksman, In the Land of Saints and Sinnerssees Neeson donning the role of Finbar Murphy, a man whose troubled past has led him to the isolated village of Glencolmci...
In the Land of Impressive Acting and Beautiful Cinematography
Though In the Land of Saints and Sinners carries a grim premise, that doesn't mean it's not gorgeous to look at. Tom Stern was the cinematographer here, and when you look back at his numerous collaborations with director Clint Eastwood (including Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby), that same kind of talent can be found in spades here. As for the film's story, it's an impressive tale of redemption with a lively lead performance by Liam Neeson, along with a captivating character in the form...

Read Our Review Though critics may not have been too kind to this colossal creature feature, that's not to suggest you should miss out on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The latest in the leviathan MonsterVerse sees the two biggest giants from opposite ends of the Earth — King Kong and Godzilla — making a perturbing discovery. Hidden deep in the bowels of Hollow Earth, an entire tribe of kongs led by the Skar King reign supreme. However, when they and a mysterious new threat rise from beneat...
A Smashing Box Office Success
Aside from the blunt promise of kaiju fights and gorgeous special effects, Godzilla x Kong is already shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year in terms of box office returns, quickly becoming one of the top five highest-grossing films of 2024 so far. While some may feel that the balance in focus between the two giants was weighted more towards everyone's favorite giant gorilla, there are ample surprises to be found in this exciting MonsterVerse film. If you're a fan of the Mon...

Read Our Review Sydney Sweeney gave a particularly impressive performance in her latest project, and it's a horror film at that. Immaculate sees her donning the role of Cecilia, a devout woman working at an Italian convent. However, similar to films like Sister Death and The Nun, she soon comes to discover that the convent holds terrifying secrets that should've never been discovered. Sweeney serves as a producer for the film in addition to playing the film's lead, with additional performance...
Sydney Sweeney's Big Horror Film
After debuting at South by Southwest, Immaculate has certainly made a big splash on the big screen. Impressive sets and stunning production design accentuate a compelling lead performance by Sweeney, making the accompanying cinematography by Elisha Christian truly pop. With Immaculate being shot in Rome, there's an authenticity that carries Immaculate's plot to its horrifying conclusion, one that'll stick with you long after the credits roll.
