Resident Evil (2026): Cregger Deep in His Level A Bag
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Resident Evil (2026) Zach Cregger I know what you’re thinking. You saw this on my website or my Letterboxd and thought, “Resident Evil? Has Nate even played the games? Has he seen any of the movies?”. And the answer to both of those questions would be no. I have zero experience with the Resident Evil universe, but I do have (limited) experience with Zach Cregger, and…

Buddy: It’s a Horrible Day in the Neighborhood
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Buddy (2026) Casper Kelly It seems that I’m making my return to the theater sooner than I anticipated! While Forgotten Island is still on the schedule for the 22nd, three movies have been added to the docket, including Buddy today. I’ve become more and more game for indie horror movies like these recently (see my love of Obsession, or my opening day ticket for Backrooms), but…

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: Jane Schoenbrun Likes to Make My Brain Hurt
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) Jane Schoenbrun If I had a nickel for every 2026 summer movie that used an AC vent as a storytelling device, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird (nay, absolutely bonkers) that it happened twice. Given my disappointment with I Saw the TV Glow when I saw it in 2024, my expectations for Jane Schoenbrun’s next…

The End of Oak Street: The Beginning of Dino Movies’ Next Chapter
The End of Oak Street (2026) David Robert Mitchell With summer blockbuster season in the rear view mirror, my priorities have shifted to the numerous original films coming out in the next couple months. While there are bigger fish for me to fry in that time (Coyote vs. Acme has to be my most anticipated one of the bunch), I’ve been really excited for The End of Oak Street as well. I love…

Scary Movie (2026): Legacy Characters and References and Meta Humor, Oh My!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Scary Movie (2026) Michael Tiddes If you made me bet at the beginning of the week which of the June 5 theatrical releases I’d see first, I would’ve lost all my money. There was no way I thought Scary Movie would be first off the list, but here we are. Sammy—who I’ve learned watched at least three of the Scary Movies—and I ventured to my favorite Regal to take…

Backrooms: Does Anyone Know What’s Back There?
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Backrooms (2026) Kane Parsons After experiencing a surprising amount of success with Obsession, I wanted to give another independent horror movie an opportunity, and wouldn’t you know it: there’s Backrooms! I actually had Backrooms on my watchlist for longer than Obsession, so expectations were high. These two 20-something directors must really have the sauce, because even though Backrooms wasn’t my jam as much as Obsession was, the movie still impressed in stretches (and very much…

Obsession: The Drawbacks of Cupid’s Arrow
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Obsession (2025) Curry Barker Weekend double feature #1 is now in the books, and boy, it sure looks like I’m in for a weekend of absolute cinema. After loving Top Gun on a rewatch, I was pretty optimistic about Obsession, which has been getting great reviews. I was hoping that Obsession would fill the same space in 2026 that Weapons did last year—a critically acclaimed, cheeky and creative horror darling—and honestly, it did…

Over Your Dead Body: I Would Die for Jason Segel
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Over Your Dead Body (2026) Jorma Taccone All hail Jason Segel! I’ve been a fan of his since How I Met Your Mother, and I just finished Season 3 of Shrinking two days ago, so I was pretty excited for Over Your Dead Body. Sure, horror may still not be my favorite genre, but given Segel’s penchant for comedy and Jorma Taccone at the wheel, I figured this movie was…
