Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. 2 days ago 3/5 Atmospheric visuals and Kieron Moore’s torso can’t save this uneven film, whose screenplay confuses its most interesting aspects and hands its lead a bland, subdued role Go to Full Review Vampire Carnival (2026) - - - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast 4 days ago 4.5/5 An absolute blast of a sequel. Same great FX; ridiculous action; and a fantastic supporting performance by Jennifer Rhodes as Sister Gloria. What a delight! Go to Full Review Night of the Demons 2 (1994) 83% 58%

Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. 4 days ago 2.5/5 Despite a few stand out sequences and a mysterious turn by The Boys' Phillips, the movie overstays its welcome. Fans of cringe, manner-based horror will likely find this the most successful Go to Full Review Breeder (2026) 87% - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast 5 days ago 2.5/5 Great set pieces and a committed Chastain performance tip this one over into "sure, why not" territory, though the plot is underbaked and often extremely nonsensical. Still, it's better than Imaginary, Boogeyman or IT: Welcome to Derry Go to Full Review Other Mommy (2026) 19% - -

Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) 6 days ago 4/5 One of the most celebrated queer films of the year, this sprawling, intimate tale of three generations of gay men is epic in scope, even if that sometimes complicates the storytelling and confuses the vast number of characters Go to Full Review La Bola Negra (2026) 87% - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Oct 22, 2026 3/5 Grace Moretz is trying (and Moore is legitimately intimidating), but there simply isn't anything new to Peirce's version. Blame a lack of vision or studio meddling, but aside from Chris' death, this entry fails to justify its existence Go to Full Review Carrie (2013) 51% 44%

Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Oct 22, 2026 2.5/5 Despite some affecting scenes near the end, the romance between the boys never fully blossoms. Plus: the decision not to cast younger actors results in some terrible wig atrocities. Go to Full Review Holding the Man (2015) 78% 81%

Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Oct 20, 2026 3/5 Drag has a great Lizzy Caplan performance is good for fans of physical comedy and talky, play-like dark comedies. Your mileage may vary on the success of its jokes and pacing, though. Go to Full Review Drag (2026) 94% - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Oct 20, 2026 2/5 Considering the pedigree of talent involved in this adaptation, why is this so bland and lifeless?! Go to Full Review Verity (2026) 31% - -

Joe Lipsett Movie Oubliette (Podcast) Oct 18, 2026 2.5/5 Mirren is having fun and Ehrenreich does what he can, but the plot never takes that delicious Highsmith turn and the tale the pair craft feels like it would be criticized as a late/less than story.

Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Oct 18, 2026 4/5 It’s extremely silly and entertaining. The film knows exactly what it is – a campy thriller in the vein of a Lifetime film Go to Full Review Psycho Side Chick (2026) - - - -

Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Oct 18, 2026 4.5/5 I Love Paris is an unexpected gem. Thiboult’s charisma is unparalleled, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with Paris Go to Full Review I Love Paris (2026) - - - -

Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. Oct 16, 2026 4.5/5 You Can See Everything shifts from an intriguing documentary about a potentially deluded woman to something far more interesting and complicated. The film practically demands an immediate rewatch and a lengthy discussion with friends Go to Full Review You Can See Everything (2026) 96% - -

Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Oct 13, 2026 2.5/5 The long runtime allows Yau to jump back and forth between the two storylines, though the overlaps prove a little too convenient. The big issue is the development of the romance: Ike and Fai's relationship isn't believable. Go to Full Review We're Nothing at All (2026) - - - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Oct 13, 2026 3/5 More indebted to the original 1997 Anaconda that it should be, Boiúna features solid performances by Madeira and Rothe. Your mileage may vary on Marshall-Green's character though, and the climax should have been the boat set piece Go to Full Review Beware Boiúna (2026) 58% - -

Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. Oct 11, 2026 4/5 Writer/director Nyla Innuksuk’s film cleverly uses meta elements to interrogate, tease, and confront notions of what it means to be a good Indigenous person in a film that's a byproduct of its own narrative.

Joe Lipsett Movie Oubliette (Podcast) Oct 10, 2026 3/5 While the movie doesn't have a strong geographical signifier aside from the accents, this Ozploitation film goes hard on the stylized violence. It's nothing new, but if you like this kind of thing, it's solid. Go to Full Review Kick On (2026) 88% - -

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Oct 7, 2026 2.5/5 The biggest issue is the script - which is weirdly judgey and misogynistic, on top of being predictable. But Judd is doing what she can and the supporting cast is a deep bench of male character actors. If you like a Judd thriller, this is totally fine. Go to Full Review Twisted (2004) 3% 31%

Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Oct 6, 2026 3/5 It's fine (for a prequel). Appropriately mean and grimy for a TCM film, although the callbacks to the 74 original and 03 remake wind up feeling a little desperate Go to Full Review The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) 17% 53%

Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Oct 6, 2026 4/5 The film is utterly delightful, anchored by two revelatory lead performances (particularly Félix-Antoine Bénard's Paul) and features a fresh take on vampires.
