Every once in a very long while, I actually post a full fledged movie review. Weekly, I post roundups of what I’ve seen. Even more frequently, check Instagram for quotes a quick-reviews. Read, discuss and, hopefully, find something you enjoy.
Resident Evil (2026) | Trace Amounts of T-Virus
A singular, wildly visceral cinematic trip, blending genre-bending body horror with high-stakes domestic anxiety. Zach Cregger navigates the thin line between gruesome terror and slapstick dark comedy, offering a loose, tangential adaptation of a legendary gaming universe.
The Odyssey (2026) | Echoes of Arrakis in Ithaca

Vampiru’ Zombi (2024) | Liminal Cinema
Vampiru’ Zombi stands out with its blend of art-house aesthetics and semi-fictional introspection, exploring themes of fatherhood, abandonment, and self-discovery.

The homage to Romero stands out, enriched by interviews, but the film struggles to balance commercial appeal with insightful storytelling. It’s intriguing yet familiar for fans.
