Immaculate (2024)

Immaculate is a religious horror about a cult in Italy determined to bring about the apocalypse through an immaculate conception with a nun.

I should have expected less from Michael Mohan but I suppose I'm a sucker for horror. He hasn't done anything good and I'm not sure why Hollywood puts faith in people like this and writer Andrew Lobel. Lobel is a complete unknown and this isn't a good film for his first. It's quite the opposite, his writing shows he knows very little about the bible except for what is available through social media or a quick Wikipedia search.

I haven't seen Sydney Sweeney do anything worthwhile and they gave her character very little to work with. She was in Madame Web but that was nearly horrible. The Handmaid's Tale was good for the first season only as the second season wasn't good enough to catch my attention so I didn't get to see her character introduced. I still need to see Anyone But You but I'm not too excited about it.

Benedetta Porcaroli plays her best friend, Sister Gwen. She does a pretty good job considering her role and how basic the character was written. This was her first Hollywood movie if I'm not mistaken and though I didn't enjoy Immaculate, I enjoyed her performance.

The movie has horrible writing, and I know Hollywood really wants the audience to love Sydney Sweeney as they're putting her in a ton of roles. It's still a pretty poor and scare-less horror. Result: D

Wuthering Heights (2026)

Wuthering Heights is directed by Emerald Fennell , known for Promising Young Woman and Saltburn , and opens with a striking image that immediately signals this will not be a conventional adaptation of the classic novel. The film remains faithful to several of the book's narrative choices, particularly in how it lingers on the characters' early years before fully embracing the central tragedy. While this approach accurately reflects the source material, the pacing occasionally suffers, with several montages and extended childhood sequences lasting longer than necessary. One element that works especially well is the portrayal of Catherine and Heathcliff's adoptive father, whose volatile temper contrasts sharply with the affection he shows the two children, echoing one of the novel's stronger character dynamics. Margot Robbie , known for Barbie and I, Tonya , delivers one of the strongest performances of her career as Catherine. She captures the character's passio...

Supergirl (2026)

Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie , known for I, Tonya and Cruella , and written by Ana Nogueira . The film attempts to launch a new corner of the DC universe while simultaneously giving Supergirl her own coming of age journey. While the movie does succeed in giving its protagonist a genuine character arc and lays some groundwork for future stories, the script often struggles with dialogue and plot points. Several lines land awkwardly, pulling scenes out of their emotional moments rather than enhancing them. In many cases, the performances feel less at fault than the direction, as stronger takes or rewrites could have improved several key exchanges. Milly Alcock , known for House of the Dragon , carries the film and easily emerges as its greatest strength. She brings vulnerability, confidence, and determination to Supergirl, making the character feel relatable even when the material around her falters. Alcock does everything she can with the dialogue she is given, and her per...

Citizen Vigilante (2026)

Citizen Vigilante is written and directed by Uwe Boll , a filmmaker whose work has always been divisive, and this film continues that trend. The movie tackles issues surrounding immigration, social tensions, and public frustration, themes that have been prominent throughout the decade. Surprisingly, the film often approaches these subjects from a perspective that many viewers may not expect from a major studio release. While the political themes are front and center, the larger issue is that the writing struggles to make the world and its characters feel believable. Conversations often lack the natural reactions people would have in real life, particularly younger characters who accept lectures and speeches with very little resistance or personality. Armie Hammer , known for The Social Network and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. , plays the vigilante and spends much of the film using a gravelly, Batman-inspired voice. He commits fully to the role, and his physical presence works well for th...
