Most Anticipated Films Of January 2026!

Happy 2026 everyone! Before we get to the list I have a one thing to mention!

I have 6 reviews left from 2025 which include: 28 Years Later, Sentimental Value, Bugonia, Die My Love, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Hamnet. Those reviews I plan on hopefully finishing by the end of next week.

Anyways 2026 looks like a very strong year for film and we are starting off pretty strong with January! Sam Rami returns with Send Help, Primate I’ve heard is pretty strong, The Testament Of Ann Lee, Dead Man’s Wire and The Chronology Of Water all expand this month (all of which are getting very good reviews), Charli xcx debuts with her first leading role with The Moment, We Bury The Dead seems like a solid zombie film and finally 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has gotten very strong early reactions and sounds like it matches with the previous film!

Most Anticipated Films Of December 2025 + What’s left for this year.

Well here we are the final stretch of 2025, time flew by for sure and it’s honestly been a pretty strong year for film. It does seem like we are wrapping things up well since this month looks great!!

Very quickly, I’ve already seen No Other Choice it’s a fantastic film that I highly recommend going to see when it releases on Christmas.

Anyways what’s left for this year? I have a handful of reviews left to write which include

28 Years Later, Sorry Baby, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value, No Other Choice, Frankenstein, Predator: Badlands, Christy, Bugonia, Die My Love, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Train Dreams. These reviews plus some new releases will make up of this month (I’m hoping to get these ones done by the end of next week). So keep an eye out!

Most Anticipated Films Of November 2025

We are in the home stretch folks! November is going to be a pretty busy month, for starters there are A LOT of reviews I have to do so expect a lot more quicker reviews. Luckily November is not THAT crazy when it comes to streaming releases (I’m going to be skipping a lot of the Christmas Netflix movies and some others this year…sorry), my watchlist is incredibly thin right now which is also great (October really helped knocking so many of them out).

Finally I left Frankenstein, Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent off the list since I saw all three already, funnily enough Frankenstein and Sentimental Value come out on Friday so expect reviews them this week!

Most Anticipated Films Of April 2025!

With March over that ends Q1 of 2025. While not absolutely incredible in terms of films, there were still some really strong films that I quite loved. April is when we start picking things up, this month seems incredibly promising with tons of releases and films that could be contenders for early favorites of the year.

Rather than make the list a ranking as I usually do, I’m going to try something a bit different and list the films alphabetically. I think it makes the list a bit more organized and makes a little more sense as well.
