There are films that dare you to tap out, and then there are films that dare you to stay open. Touch Me very firmly belongs to the latter category. Addison Heimann’s psychosexual sci-fi horror comedy is loud, horny, emotionally sincere, and deeply strange, and somehow all of those things coexist without the movie collapsing under the weight of its own ambition.
Read MoreRenny Harlin Makes Plane Crashes Scary Again in Deep Water
Renny Harlin is back, and not quietly. Deep Water feels like the kind of movie Hollywood stopped making somewhere between post 9/11 seriousness and the rise of sanitized CG spectacle. It is big, pulpy, unapologetically intense, and more vicious than it has any right to be.
Read MoreContent: Found Footage for the Terminally Online
Adam Meilech’s Content is the kind of screenlife movie that makes you wonder why you ever doubted the format in the first place. This thing doesn’t just use phones and laptops as a gimmick. It weaponizes them.
Read MoreSaturday Morning Monsters: Why Tales from ’85 Feels Like Classic Stranger Things Again
At roughly 24 to 28 minutes per episode, Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 moves fast. Maybe a little too fast sometimes, but the short runtime keeps the energy high and the momentum constant.

Maid Robot 2 doubles down on its weirdness, and that is both its biggest asset and its biggest problem.

If you liked the original for its rough edges and oddball tone, this one gives you more of everything.
Read MoreSilicon and Side Eye: Maid Robot
What happens when artificial intelligence learns more than it was programmed to? Apparently, it starts developing opinions, dreaming about rivers of blood, and casually questioning the ethics of capitalism over a cup of lukewarm coffee. Maid Robot is a low-budget sci-fi dark comedy that knows exactly what it is and, more importantly, what it is not.
Read MoreLove Is a Curse: Disolution
Disolution is the kind of film that creeps up on you, sinks its teeth in early, and refuses to let go. What starts as a dark romance quickly mutates into something far more vicious and morally tangled. At its core, this is a revenge story fueled by love, desperation, and the terrifying idea that fate can be tampered with if you are willing to pay the price.
Read MoreThe Only Prize Is Breathing: 12 Warriors
12 Warriors knows exactly what lane it’s driving in and floors the gas without looking back. This is not a movie that pretends to be subtle, prestige cinema. It is a stripped-down survival fight fest built on sweat, blood, shaky alliances, and the old rule that humanity collapses fast when money and violence share the same room.
