All month long on my Patreon, I'm exploring postmodern vampire films in a series of exclusive reviews and essays.

I started last week with DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971), starring the great Delphine Seyrig.

JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME is a loving ode to a genial comedian and actor.

If you're a fan of Candy, it's worth checking out on Prime Video, starting Friday.

Luca Guadagnino's superbly acted drama, AFTER THE HUNT, explores our culture's obsession with optics and reluctance to engage in difficult, substantive conversations.

It opens in limited release on October 10, 2025.

I was pretty lukewarm on 1 and 2 the first time when I reviewed them. Apparently, I've gotten over my hangups about them because I had a blast with them on a recent rewatch.

Thanks for reading, Adelaide! Glad we're aligned on the best segments!

After rewatching a few of my favorites in this series recently, the latest one belongs among the most enjoyable for me. I'll definitely revisit it around Halloweentime in the coming years.

Our members have been hard at work crafting a list of epic proportions. We toiled over hundreds of movies to see what really stood out among the best of the best. Today, we reveal the first 25 films that represent the best of the past 25 years:

It's not a masterpiece or anything, but I enjoyed it. It helps that I giggled at the pooch pretty much the entire time.

GOOD BOY is a little scary and very cute. As the title suggests, its star, Indy, is a good boy. And given the 73-minute runtime, it's hard not to recommend a watch.

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen for ANEMONE, a beautiful looking and well-acted film with a style that distracts from its emotional core.

Last night, I saw a fellow critic leave a screening 10 minutes before it was over, and then they posted their review this morning. I dunno, maybe it's me, but I think a critic should stay for the whole movie if they're going to write about it.
