This Is Not a Test offers an atypical take on the zombie genre, leaning more into tension and character moments than nonstop action. The premise and storytelling are decent, though the overall plot feels a bit overdone compared to many other entries in the genre. Unfortunately, the film is held back by noticeably poor-quality zombie makeup and effects, which occasionally break the immersion.
Psycho Killer delivers a tense, stylish ride that leans heavily into psychological horror rather than cheap jump scares. The film builds suspense slowly, drawing viewers into a chilling cat-and-mouse story that keeps the tension high from start to finish. Strong performances and sharp cinematography help create an unsettling atmosphere, while the story offers enough twists to keep audiences guessing.
Scream 7 keeps the franchise alive with a mix of nostalgia, sharp humor, and just enough fresh twists to keep longtime fans guessing. While it doesn’t reinvent the formula, it leans confidently into the self-aware horror style that made the series famous. The kills are inventive, the pacing moves quickly, and the mystery surrounding Ghostface still delivers a few satisfying surprises. A couple of plot beats feel familiar, but the film’s energy and playful nods to past entries help carry it through.
I’m giving Companion (2025) a full five stars. Not a polite five. A grinning, white-knuckle five. I’ve watched it 4 times now since i first saw it on its opening night, using my AMC A-List pass. As a developer working on developing Ai, creating Ai companions, and exploring the world of robotics.
A rusty box of bolts sinks into an ocean of blood; the radio crackles. Gauges twitch. Something bumps the hull like a bored giant tapping an aquarium.
That’s the core promise of the Iron Lung movie, and it’s a killer hook for sci-fi horror fans who like their fear slow, dark, and cramped. This is a 2026 film directed by Mark Fischbach (Markiplier), based on the 2022 indie horror game by David Szymanski, and it arrives with the kind of split reaction you can almost predict: some people get wrapped up in the dread, others feel bored, odded out, or plain confused.
Some movies feel like a screen. Others feel like a door. This was especially true with Avatar: Fire and Ash – a door and portal to other dimensions, worlds, and a star-spangled sky of fantasy. I saw Avatar: Fire and Ash 3D with my AMC A-List membership, and I’m calling it a full-on 5-star afternoon …

From the opening frames, Weapons announces itself as a wild mix of folklore, frenetic action, and Haitian-inspired spirit possession. It’s rare to see a movie stitch together searing social critique (including plenty of chilling references to real community tragedy) with all the pulpy magic of voodoo, haunting supernatural rituals, and a plot that swings from kinetic horror to grounded emotion. What grabbed me most, and probably will stick with other genre fans too, is how the film conjures up its folk horror roots without sacrificing inventive fight scenes or the creeping sense of the unknown.
Shark movies almost always draw a crowd, but Dangerous Animals flips the script with a surge of adrenaline and a rush of surprise, adding in the serial killer twist. What started as a routine popcorn creature feature quickly twisted into something darker, mixing Jaws and terror with a sinister serial killer and his tangled web of digital horrors. The premise teases familiarity, but the film’s razor-sharp detours leave you wide-eyed and second-guessing every shadow.
From the spirit-haunted caves of Homo habilis to the glowing circuits of techno-mystics, this groundbreaking work traces the evolving relationship between humanity and the unseen forces that animate our world. Drawing from a lifetime of mythic living and academic inquiry, shaped by the teachings of Anthropologist Bruce Grindal, the magical theories of Real Magic author Isaac Bonewits, and workshops attended with psychedelic visionaries Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna, author Thomas Baurley delves deep into the forgotten, the forbidden, and the freshly reawakened.
Walking into AMC’s Screams Unseen Monday, before last, with little clue about what would flicker to life on screen, expectations hung low; yet ‘The Home’ wasted no time flipping that.
