    IF

    ★★★

    seemed like just another cheap, by-the-numbers film—one of those that checks all the typical boxes without offering anything new. But as the story unfolded, I found myself surprisingly moved. It’s got a warmth and sincerity that sneaks up on you, turning what could’ve been forgettable into something worth watching. It’s not a perfect film, but it has heart, and sometimes that’s enough. It’s definitely worth a watch at least once—it might just touch you in ways you didn’t expect.

    Smile 2

    ★★★½

    takes everything that worked in the first film and builds on it in all the right ways. It expands the premise with a bigger, more intense approach, without trying to reinvent the wheel. The eerie atmosphere is cranked up, the tension’s palpable, and the horror hits harder. But at its core, it’s still the same terrifying, gripping experience that made the first film so effective. It’s a perfect sequel for those who loved Smile 1—just a bigger, more polished version, and for me, that’s exactly what I wanted.

    Companion

    ★★★½

    Companion delivers a solid sci-fi thriller experience with engaging story beats and a well-paced runtime. The narrative stays focused, balancing tension and character-driven moments without overstaying its welcome. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, it plays to its strengths, keeping viewers invested without unnecessary filler. In a time of overlong blockbusters, Companion proves that a tight, well-structured story can be just as impactful.

    The Substance

    ★★★½

    a visceral, gut-wrenching dive into body horror that refuses to hold back.
    The grotesque close-ups are both revolting and mesmerising, pulling you into a world that feels uncomfortably intimate. The sound design amplifies every squelch and tear, making the experience almost unbearable in the best way possible. Its original premise is a breath of fresh air in the horror genre, shining a big light on the things we do out of vanity.
    The ending, though what the fuck was that?…
