Whalefall (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A terrifying survival drama inside a big whale
“Whalefall” is a terrifying survival drama mostly unfolded inside a big whale, and it does its job better than I expected. When I watched its trailer several weeks ago, I wondered whether the movie can actually work in terms of … Continue reading
Apex (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): A standard survival thriller driven by Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron is one of the most singular star actresses working in Hollywood. After she earned her own spot around the top of Hollywood with her great Oscar-winning performance in Patty Jenkins’ “Monster” (2003), she steadily and boldly rolled her … Continue reading
Send Help (2026) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Taming of the Boss
Sam Raimi’s latest film “Send Help” is a little naughty genre film you can exactly expect from its director. While you can clearly see how the story will end in one way or another, the movie has some vicious fun … Continue reading
The Long Walk (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): The Last Man Walking
“The Long Walk” is a modest but effective dystopian survival thriller driven by one simple but compelling story premise. Although we can clearly see where it is heading from the very beginning, the movie keeps things rolling before eventually arriving … Continue reading

Azrael (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A wordless post-apocalyptic horror flick
When did I begin to notice Samara Weaving? Well, that was actually not a long time ago at all, considering her delightful breakout performance in “Ready or Not” (2019). Since that point, she has impressed us more and more as … Continue reading
Society of the Snow (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Under that unimaginably extreme condition
What would you do under a situation as grim and extreme as whatever the survivors of the Andes Flight Disaster experienced in 1972? This is surely a hard and difficult question, and Netflix film “Society of the Snow”, which was … Continue reading
Triangle of Sadness (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three acts of absurd satire by Ruben Östlund
Ruben Östlund’s new film “Triangle of Sadness”, which won the Palme d’Or award when it was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in last year, attempts three acts of absurd satire which are often amusing even though they do gel … Continue reading
The Fall (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Stuck at the top of a 600-meter tower
“The Fall” often made me wince and cringe for good reasons. As I said several times before, I have considerable aversion to high places, and I must say that the movie did a pretty good job of unnerving me as … Continue reading
Arctic (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): His desperate Arctic journey for survival
During its first act, “Arctic” impressed me a lot with vividly cold and harsh moments of desperation and solitude which actually made me curious about how they were made, and that is why it is a shame that the movie … Continue reading
