Jason Best What To Watch Feb 20, 2025 3/5 Perkins doesn't use up his film's brisk running time waxing philosophically. He's far more interested in staging gory decapitations, eviscerations and disembowelings. Go to Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% - -

Jason Best What To Watch Dec 7, 2024 3/5 Amy Adams lets out a feral howl against the woes of modern womanhood in Nightbitch, a potent but uneven adaptation of the eponymous book by Rachel Yoder. Go to Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% - -
