Bad Ben 2: Steelmanville Road (2017)

'Wolf Like Me' works if you want a show to shut off your brain while watching. If you think too much, you'll hurt yourself.

This 2024 musical film is based on the Broadway show and the 2004 film of the same name with major differences.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.

Between its problematic nature, its lack of originality, and the senselessness of its violence, Onslaught cannot be recommended in good faith.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
