Anaconda (2025)
James Cameron won't be sweating with the threat of this giant Anaconda at the box office.

Avatar: Fire & Ash
If this is the last film in James Cameron's alien epic, then it's a really missed opportunity.

Keeper
Osgood Perkins delivers a far more traditional, but also quite effective horror film.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Rian Johnson's third whodunnit may not dethrone the original, but it's another fantastic film that defies expectations in different ways.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 continues to be lifeless horror for pre-adolescents, but is slightly better presented than the first film.

Zootropolis 2 (Zootopia 2)
The sequel to the modern animated classic is fun but greatly inferior to the first film.

Deathstalker
Mackan has indulged in Deathstalker - a bold, silly love letter to the joyful 1980s and Roger Corman's classic franchise...

Wicked: For Good
Wicked: For Good is even better than the first film, with more action and better pacing, an emotional climax from start-to-finish and, as expected, brilliant performances.

Roofman
Living hidden inside a Toys R Us for a year and eating only M&Ms for dinner every day until your teeth fall out? That's life, according to Magic Mike...

Elevation
Huge robot creatures (with scorpion tails) have invaded Earth and, unfortunately, wiped out 96% of humanity. If only they had finished the job...

The Running Man
Edgar Wright's remake of the 80s action hit is a no-brakes thrill ride that will look to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Smashing Machine
Tears flowed among the audience at Cannes 2025, and The Rock's drama debut has been widely acclaimed. However, Petter is not particularly impressed by the film about Mark Kerr...

Bugonia
Bugonia, with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, is crude and funny, but as existentialist and nihilistic as your average Yorgos Lanthimos' film.

Frankenstein
After 20 years of hard work, the man behind Pan's Labyrinth has finally made a film of his favourite book. Frankenstein (2025) is here, and it is by far the best film based on Shelley's original material ever made...

Predator: Badlands
Predator: Badlands opens up the franchise with the most accessible, action-packed, and light movie of the series.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
Jeremy Allen White sure looks weird with brown contacts, huh?

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Everything old is new, including Curtis Hanson's underrated 90s gem about a psychotic babysitter. Petter is not impressed...

The Roses
Austin Powers director Jay Roach has interpreted the 1980s novel about the warring spouses.

A House of Dynamite
The director of Zero Dark Thirty has made an epic doomsday thriller with Netflix and it is clearly worse than what Hegevall had hoped for...

The Long Walk
The director of Constantine and I Am Legend has tackled Stephen King's first novel and there is certainly nothing wrong with the result...

The Woman in Cabin 10
Kiera Knightley headlines this Netflix murder-mystery about a killing on a luxury yacht out at sea.

Him
Cade is prepared to do anything to make it all the way to the NFL, to stand there on the Super Bowl field and look up at the sky... But is it enough to just work hard, or does it take a pound of flesh to get there?

Good Boy
We've checked out one of this year's most unique horror films, where man's best friend is really put to the test when evil forces try to get their claws into his beloved owner.

The Astronaut
The producer behind A Quiet Place offers abduction horror from outer space and a curious Hegevall has been left so disappointed that he feels a little sick...

Tron: Ares
The third Tron movie is the most accessible in the series, but an inconsistent tone and patchy script prevents it from taking off.

One Battle After Another
Paul Thomas Anderson's political dramady might not be a revolution, but it is a pretty good time.

The Lost Bus
Captain Philips director Paul Greengrass and the screenwriter behind Mare of Easttown offer a fire-soaked drama thriller based on a true story...

Caught Stealing
The director behind Black Swan and The Wrestler reloads with a raw, dirty, dark and exciting thriller about drug money, mafia and shattered dreams...

Play Dirty
Marky-Mark continues to offer zero charisma and no personality, this time in Mel Gibson's old role as the cynical super thief Parker...

The Toxic Avenger
Troma-fanatic Petter Hegevall grew up with Toxic, Kabukiman and Nuke 'em High and has therefore been eagerly awaiting this reboot...

Dracula: A Love Tale
The man behind Leon and Nikita is back with an ambitious reinterpretation of Stoker's iconic 19th-century book about the Count who drinks neither energy drinks nor tea, only blood...

Highest 2 Lowest
Spike Lee remakes "Oldboy" with what is perhaps the worst adaptation of a classic in ten years.

Rust
After being cleared of charges relating to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Alec Baldwin has finally been able to roll out his dark western thriller...

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Infinity Castle
We have just come out of the cinema after attending the most important anime event of 2025 and we are still catching our breath.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
One of the most nonsensical slasher films of the 1990s has, of course, been remade with a modern touch, and we're utterly bored by it...

Together
Making your directorial (and screenwriting) debut with a film of this kind is something special, of course. Petter likes Michael Shanks' body horror film...

Red Sonja
Conan the Barbarian's loner mate is back in the dark woods to once again avenge her mother's murderer. Pete has seen the second worst film of the year...

Fixed
The creator of Primal and Samurai Jack has finally completed his animated film about a dog losing its testicles, but how good is it?

Nobody 2
I bet your summer holiday wasn't as bad as Bob Odenkirk's.

Eddington
Conspiracy theories, Antifa, Covid-19, Black Lives Matter, the Wild West... Ari Aster's new thriller is a loaded gun that could go off at any moment.
Text: André Lamartine

Weapons
Is this one of the best films of the year? Film editor André tells us what he thinks of the Barbarian director's brilliant thriller...
Text: André Lamartine

The Pickup
Eddie Murphy is funny for exactly three seconds in the entire film when he crumples up a pancake and imitates Shaft. Everything else? Rubbish...
