Submarine
(2010)
|
Tom Cassidy
|
This coming-of-age comedy-drama authentically captures the feel of 1980s British school life, but its story of first love and the awkward transition to adulthood is universal.

The Dreadful

Even for a folk horror, this movie is heavily laden with doom and gloom and does little to relieve viewers from the bleakness until the very end.

It Was Just an Accident
(2025)

Tom Cassidy

It Was Just an Accident is exciting, unusual, and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny in moments of dark humor that lift it above straightforward, entirely serious dramas.

Kissing is the Easy Part
(2026)
|
Tara McNamara
|
Giggling is the easy part of this YA romcom, which is cute, funny, and totally meant for teens to watch in groups. Somewhat more difficult is wading through the ethical murkiness Sean taking compensation to date Flora.

This dark comedy offers some slapstick fun if you like gory, messy horror—including projectile vomiting, body splatter, and bloody explosions. But beyond that potential thrill, Cold Storage is quite uneven, with herky jerky pacing.

From the Ashes
(2024)

Jose Solís

From the start, the film signals that tragedy is coming, and everything is staged to march us toward it. But From the Ashes builds the rivalry between Heba and Amira so obviously that the disaster feels telegraphed instead of emotionally earned.
