Seven Veils (2025) Film Review

An earnest theatre director is given the task of producing her former mentor’s most famous work, the opera “Salome,” but disturbing memories from her past colour her present.

Seven Veils is directed by Atom Egoyan director of Calendar (1993), Where The Truth Lies (2005), Chloe (2009), Devil’s Knot (2013), Remember (2015), Guest Of Honor (2019) and a few others.

Seven Veils is one of those films where I like it but I wish I liked it a lot more, for the most part the movie sticks the landing with the character building and Amanda Seyfried’s performance (which honestly the film feels like a Seyfried vehicle not that it’s a bad thing.)

As mentioned before Amanda Seyfried is great here, she’s already a talented actress but there’s certain scenes here that really bring out her talent. She’s able to capture the movies atmosphere quite well and the character work surrounding her character Jeanine imposing her own trauma and abuse is incredibly fascinating. Not every single moment completely works, there’s a few voiceovers that are a bit questionable. But for the most part Seyfried is able to really dig into the movie’s themes and bring out a very solid performance along with it.

Seven Veils is interesting due to incorporating footage and staging from Egoyan’s own 2023 Canadian Opera Company Production of Salome into the narrative of the film, it’s a swing that I really admire Egoyan for taking even if not everything works you can still feel the passion and creativity throughout the film. The use of opera performers from his stage production as the performers in the film not only makes a lot of sense, but adds to Egoyan making the film a bit more identical of how opera shows work. The rehearsal and performance scenes feel much more grounded, we can even hear the performances happening during dialogue heavy moments. All of this helps Seven Veils standout a bit more than other films in the genre.

The writing does have its bumps in the road, as I said the voiceovers could have been executed a lot better (one in particular is quite questionable.) plus the conclusions the movie ends with are a bit of a hit or miss, it is less organized in the tradional sense which I do think just puts above the line of working due to what we have come to expect from Egoyan as a director at this point. But this can very easily not work for some people and understandably so.

Overall Seven Veils is flawed but an ambitious film that I’m glad Egoyan shared with audiences, the writing might be lacking in the character department (outside of Amanda Seyfried of course.) But this was at least a very interesting ride from beginning to end that I do recommend giving a look.

Seven Veils is available on all VOD platforms.

The Actor (2025) Film Review

Actor Paul Cole suffers memory loss after an assault in Ohio. Stranded in an unfamiliar town, he strives to return home and recover his past.

The Actor is directed by Duke Johnson who co-directed Anomalisa (2015)

The Actor is an ambitious film that I respect what it was trying to go for, but ultimately ends up being a misfire mainly due to the narrative just not being that interesting. Despite only being 98 minutes the movie’s pacing is incredibly slow and quickly takes the viewer out of the world that is heavily relied on throughout the movie. Having that said it’s not a terrible movie as the performances, cinematography and the dreamlike world are able to save it from not being a complete chore to sit through.

The performances are quite great here André Holland in particular does a fascinating job of capturing the dreamlike atmosphere, the atmosphere also goes for this noir thriller feel and Holland’s performance just oozes with style and power he’s able to really bring. What would otherwise be scenes that look beautiful but don’t have the power, he’s able to make them standout and give the film its personality. While he can’t save every single scene due to the narrative failing to leave a lasting impression, he’s able to really turn the ship around in dire moments.

Gemma Chan and the rest of the cast are solid here but don’t have a lot going on character wise, it’s mainly Holland’s show which is understandable given that he’s the lead. But it’s frustrating because the chemistry between Holland and Chan had potential but it’s incredibly uninteresting due to the lacking character work which in turn makes the audience not care about their chemistry, others like Toby Jones and May Calamawy are given almost nothing to do which is a disappointment.

The dreamlike cinematography is undoubtedly beautiful, it gives the movie’s world a bit more of a personality and even captures some The Truman Show (1998) vibes. But that’s where the similarities end because where as The Truman Show (1998) has an incredibly interesting narrative that brings the viewer into the film and never lets go, The Actor has a narrative that never takes advantage of its dreamlike state nor is it interesting, scenes are often concluded abruptly without any sort of rhyme or reason which ends up contributing to the incredibly flawed storytelling approach. Which I guess you could look at it in a somewhat positive way since one of the movie’s themes is memory and while it does help in some cases, this ends up backfiring in the long run when it comes to actually telling a full narrative.

Overall there really isn’t much else to say about The Actor it’s unfortunate because there is a good movie here it’s just surrounded by a lot of flaws that stop it from being good.

The Actor is available on all VOD platforms.

In The Lost Lands (2025) Film Review

A witch travels to the Lost Lands in search of a magical power that allows a person to transform into a werewolf.

In The Lost Lands is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson director of the Resident Evil film franchise (2002-2016), Event Horizon (1997), Mortal Kombat (1995), Alien Vs. Predator (2004), Pompeii (2014), Monster Hunter (2020) and a few others.

Paul W.S. Anderson is back and with his same old shtick, a terrible post-apocalyptic movie starring his wife Milla Jovovich. He’s done this multiple times with the Resident Evil films and Monster Hunter (2020) in particular. In The Lost Lands somehow ends up being far worse than any of the movies mentioned, mainly due to the movie having no personality behind it at all and being a complete and total mess.

The performances here are mostly terrible, occasionally Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista will have moments that attempt to elevate the material. But unfortunately those moments are far and few between to even really matter in the end, the acting results in some incredibly awful dialogue that have the energy of NPCs from an early 2000s video game. The writing is incredibly poor, we don’t learn anything of note about the characters at all outside of cliched elements that you have come to expect. The movie’s world is about as bland as you can get from these post-apocalyptic movies, there’s very little atmosphere that drives the viewer into the movie. It’s all incredibly stale and lacking in personality, it feels a lot like any of Anderson’s previous movies just somehow worse.

The movie itself right from the start is a jumbled mess, within the first few minutes it feels like the movie is throwing you in the middle of the second act. The viewer feels like they are missing a lot of context or wondering if there were supposed to be extra scenes here but were cut for some reason (I had these same thoughts as well.) This is exactly the sort of mess you would expect from one of these poorly rated action films that came out in the 2000s, you know the ones with barely a coherent plot, choppy editing and laughably bad filmmaking wise? Whereas those movies at least have some charm and could be laughed at, In The Lost Lands does not have any of the charm at all and only has a few moments of unintentional humor It’s a dull and uninteresting mess that does not have any sort of fun with itself at all.

The movie itself is also incredibly ugly to look at, I get what they were going for here but none of it works. The desaturated colors are not appealing here at all and feel more like they are trying to replicate Sucker Punch (2011) only that while the movie itself wasn’t exactly great at least stylistically it made sense as to why it looked like that (and had story reasons as well.) In The Lost Lands just feels like it saw what Zack Snyder did and then tried to replicate without thinking as to why it for the most part worked for Snyder.

There really is not much more to be said here, In The Lost Lands is yet another terrible movie from Anderson. As I said before it’s almost identical to his other films, even if you are someone who enjoyed his Resident Evil films you will not get anything out of this one.

In The Lost Lands is available on all VOD platforms.

825 Forest Road (2025) Film Review

Chuck Wilson hopes to start a new life after a family tragedy when he moves to the town of Ashland Falls with his wife Maria and little sister Elizabeth, but he quickly discovers that the town has a dark secret.

825 Forest Road is directed by Stephen Cognetti director of all the Hell House LLC movies!

I admire when a director steps out of their comfort zone which in this case Cognetti moves away from the found footage horror genre and takes on a more traditional horror film. Unfortunately it’s not a good one and leaves the viewer with the feeling of “what did I just watch?” and not in a good way.

The acting is flat out terrible, you can tell the cast is trying their best with the script and the movie’s confused and messy layout but at most you get the occasional unintentional hilarious bit with the acting. The writing does not fare any better, it’s a jumbled mess with lots of confused plot lines that are poorly put together and is actually hard to follow at times due to how much this movie bounces around.

The big problem here is the direction, as I said before I admire Cognetti for trying something different you can’t always stick with the exact same thing. But unfortunately 825 Forest Road shows the viewer that Cognetti struggles to adapt to the different style he went for here, the characters are just not well written (Cognetti also wrote the film) and the atmosphere that Cognetti usually does a pretty solid job at with the Hell House LLC movies is just not present here at all.

The chaptered structure serves no real purpose here and feels more like it is placed here for a stylistic choice rather than any real reason, the paranormal ghost elements presented have been done far better in multiple other films and the movie heavily relies on predictable jumpscares that you don’t even need to be a fan of the horror genre to see coming.

Overall 825 Forest Road is a terrible horror movie that is admittedly very disappointing, it’s a movie you want to root for given that Cognetti directed the incredibly fun Hell House LLC franchise. But unfortunately this movie has so many problems that stick out like a sore thumb.

825 Forest Road is available on Shudder

Freaky Tales (2025) Film Review

An NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teenage punks, neo-Nazis and a debt collector embark on a collision course in 1987 Oakland, Calif.

Freaky Tales is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck both of which directed Sugar (2008), It’s Kind Of A Funny Story (2010), Mississippi Grind (2015) and Captain Marvel (2018) while Fleck also directed Half Nelson (2006).

I knew very little about Freaky Tales going in, the only thing I knew was the incredibly large cast in the film which is only one of the main reasons why Freaky Tales works as well as it does. It’s anthology movie that is not afraid to be as bizarre as possible, a lot of what makes a great anthology film is present here. There’s a heavy Creepshow (1982) and Tales From The Hood (1995) feel here that completely works in the film’s favor.

As always with these anthology films I’ll talk a bit about each segment and then give my final thoughts of the overall film at the end so let’s start with the first segment.

The first segment is straight to the point, it’s punk rockers vs neo-Nazis. Subtlety is thrown out the window but in this case in a good way, the filming style is wild and the writing is loud, exciting and a blast of fun. Ji-young Yoo gives a strong performance here that really compliments the atmosphere being shown. The exaggerated violence, callbacks to grindhouse cinema and the score all blend together to create something truly exciting. The rebellious tone captures the theme of the segment incredibly well, some might argue that the segment lacks in depth and while that is true. All you really need here is the energy and atmosphere to really do the talking and it does that very well. Not anything mind blowing but a whole lot of fun that is a huge adrenaline rush.

The second segment dials things back a bit, we follow ice cream workers and aspiring rap artists Barbie (played by Dominique Thorne) and Entice (played by Normani), the main reason this segment works so well is due to the performances from Thorne and Normani. They both have such excellent chemistry and charm that they bring to the film, Normani should strongly consider doing more acting because she really stands out being one of the film’s best assets. The climatic rap battle scene is also one of the film’s best moments, not only is the battle itself so much fun and well written when it comes to songwriting. But there’s this theme of triumph and even some gender barriers in the industry, the segment might not break any new ground but it does capture the atmosphere the film is asking for which ends up letting this one reach the finish line!

The third segment is an acting showcase for Pedro Pascal who does such an incredible job here, what we get here is this interesting noir type of short. A hitman named Clint (played by Pedro Pascal) is looking to exit the business after a tragedy at home. Where is the atmosphere for the first two segments were more exciting (different levels of it) this one is much more quiet, we get to see the mind of Clint and how guilt and grief are taking over him. Pascal shows this with his facial acting particularly with his eyes that look incredibly haunted from the events throughout the segment. The late Angus Cloud also gives a strong performance here (this was his final performance) even if it is not that long, he still leaves an impact and his conversations with Pascal help further segment in its theming. There’s this theme of what does it take to walk way from violence when it’s been apart of you for so long? It’s an incredibly haunting theme that really works with Pascal’s acting and the atmosphere, combined together it makes for an excellent segment.

Lastly we have fourth segment, which has Sleepy Floyd (played by Jay Ellis) who is a NBA legend that turns into a sword-wielding vigilante after a huge loss. This is by far the most bizarre of the segments, delivering fight choreography that is very exaggerated and oozing with stylization. It’s a revenge fantasy that we do not get a whole lot of depth outside of why it’s happening, it very much feels like a bizarre Adult Swim show and for what the film is going for I would say it works. I will say it definitely is the weakest out of the four segments but that’s not entirely a bad thing when each of the segments all pass the “good” line.

Freaky Tales is truly a blast of fun, I absolutely admire the decision of going for very different feels and styles. This is something a lot of anthology films mess up on most of their segments feel almost identical which makes a lot of them fail to standout by the time the movie ends.Freaky Tales avoids this and keeps each segment incredibly interesting with different goals, style choices and the atmosphere they want to capture. It leads to a lasting impression on the viewer and can form discussion on which story you liked the most. When you combine that with some fantastic acting and writing you have yourself such a fun film that really goes all out.

Freaky Tales releases tomorrow in theaters.

Wake Up (2025) Film Review

A group of young activists set out to make an environmental statement by vandalising a home superstore as it closes. However, their plan goes terribly wrong when they become trapped inside and must face a deranged security guard with a gruesome passion for primitive hunting. As the night fills with violence and terror, the teenagers find themselves in a desperate fight for their lives.

Wake Up is directed by Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell both of which previously directed Turbo Kid (2015), Summer Of 84 (2018) and We Are Zombies (2023).

Wake Up on paper has a really neat idea, a slasher film that takes place in a IKEA like store. I’m actually quite surprised this has not happened up until this point and I will say that the movie does at least get some of that right. However it’s the rest of the movie that really drag this one down, especially with its attempt with trying to say something politically.

The acting is definitely not great, but it’s not the worst either. Everyone gives about as well of a performance as you would expect from a low budget slasher movie. There is admittedly some pretty entertaining moments of “so bad it’s hilarious” acting but there really is not much more to it. The writing really does not do the movie any favors, the introduction to the characters is quick and does not last for long. Which is good in the case that you just want to get straight to the slasher elements.

The movie exchanges character moments with some pretty gory kills that are by far the best part of the movie, there’s a few thrilling sequences here that are a lot of fun as well. The atmosphere in the IKEA like store is thrilling and is almost able to make the entire movie stand on its legs. It’s somewhat visually interesting with limited amount of space to run, so turning every corner is a thrill ride and basically a coin flip of survival. This makes for some genuinely eerie moments that actually gets you on the edge of your seat.

Unfortunately the movie’s exploration of political topics is what brings this one down, the movie has this view on activism and how it’s meaningless plus how both sides are wrong. Yes the movie is incredibly centrist in its messaging and the way the movie goes about expressing how much on the middle ground it is becomes incredibly annoying. Which is mainly because it has absolutely nothing to say at all, Wake Up is the movie version of a person who barges into the middle of an argument and says that both sides are bad without knowing what the argument is even about. Because of this the movie lacks in political exploration and gives surface level information that the viewer is more than likely already well aware of.

Overall Wake Up is not the worst slasher movie out there, if you took away the movie’s terrible political exploration and wrote more about the characters. I think this would have been a half decent slasher movie that might have gained some sort of following. But unfortunately this is one of those slasher films where the kills are nice and the location is great, but everything else is severely lacking.

Wake Up releases tomorrow in theaters

Death Of A Unicorn (2025) Film Review

When a man and his daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car, his boss tries to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties — with horrific results.

Death Of A Unicorn is directed by Alex Scharfman which is his directorial debut!

Death Of A Unicorn is an incredibly unserious film and I can’t help but love the film for it, I’m not going to pretend that there are not any flaws. I do wish some of the cast had a bit more to do, having that said the film does make up for it by having a lot of chaotic energy and just being an overall good time.

Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd are the heart of the film, the father and daughter bond are genuine and the interactions between the two capture this strained yet affectionate relationship. These moments provide the emotional core of the film, while the rest of the film is much more bizarre it’s a nice balance and we get just the right amount of moments to really enjoy Ridley and Elliot as characters. Ortega has a few scenes in the final moments of the film that she gets to show her incredible talent as an actress (my minor nitpick is I do wish we got to see more of those, but in the end this is a film about a killer unicorn so I understand why there are not as many moments like that.)

Will Poulter is incredibly funny here, he absolutely delivers when it comes to providing comedy and to transition the serious (I’m not sure if that’s the right word) moments to the much more comedic ones, of the supporting cast he absolutely devours each scene with Anthony Carrigan being a close second who may not be given a whole lot to do but still delivers some laughs. Richard E. Grant and Téa Leoni are both fun but I do wish we got a bit more from there characters.

The film itself has the feel of the classic B monster movie, it’s incredibly unserious and isn’t afraid to let the viewer know that at all. The pacing can be a bit slow as it does take a bit to get going, however I think the parody feel of the film during the first bit of the film combined with the monster movie feel and cosmic elements just blend together quite nicely which really ends up being such a fun ride. There’s also some Jurassic Park (1993) spirit that the film captures quite well, the film is able to capture it an a much more silly light that is genuinely entertaining.

The unicorn designs combined with the kills are fun as well, it might not be as gory as some other monster movies and admittedly the lore of the unicorns is a bit on the basic side of things. However that does not take away from the fun aspect of the unicorns and how they act, there’s a lot of fun thrills here that make for some great magic moments.

Overall Death Of A Unicorn is a lot of fun, it’s absolutely not going to reinvent the wheel when it comes to monster movies. Some parts are left vague which is frustrating but it doesn’t take away from the film being a blast and genuinely charming. If this sounds like your type of film I recommend giving this one a go!

Death Of A Unicorn is currently in theaters.

The Assessment (2025) Film Review!

In a not-so-distant future where parenthood is strictly controlled, a couple’s mysterious seven-day assessment for the right to have a child unravels into a nightmare, forcing them to question the very foundations of society.

The Assessment is directed by Fleur Fortuné which is her directorial debut!

The Assessment really impressed me, not only because of how fantastic this was for a directorial debut. But how surprisingly grounded of a sci-fi story in a lot of ways, it also takes a somewhat high concept and goes all out with what it can with a low budget ($8 million.) There is so much attention to detail with this film’s world, to the point where I wanted to keep exploring this film’s world even when the credits rolled.

The performances from the cast are some of the best so far this year, Elizabeth Olsen, Alicia Vikander and Himesh Patel are all fantastic here in each of their own ways. Elizabeth Olsen gives one of the best performances of her career, the many emotions she goes through during the film and how quickly she’s able to match the atmosphere is truly incredible to watch. She has great chemistry with Himesh Patel who’s just as great as Olsen. Patel and Olsen have strong chemistry between one another that you really do buy them as parents and hear them out with their issues.

Alicia Vikander however is the show stealer, she gives such a bonkers, wild and intense performance that really drives home the point of the film’s themes. This is by far the best performance from Vikander in a while, Vikander quickly going from acting like a normal person to a toddler as part of Mia and Aaryan’s assessment is comedic, disturbing and at times uncomfortable. The atmosphere compliments that well with it bouncing around between being comedic and uncomfortable, Vikander takes advantage of this and never holds back. It helps that the writing completely matches the actions of Vikander’s character Virginia who’s just such a fascinating and well written character that truly captures the film’s world.

The film is a scaled down sci-fi film when it comes to production design and that was definitely the smartest move. Everything in this film’s world feels a lot more natural, as I said before it’s a much more grounded story than you usually see in sci-fi films. The film does such an excellent job of keeping it as natural as possible while also having a few out there ideas that still match the more raw tone the film is going for.

The direction from Fortuné is what really makes this work, showcasing three incredibly talented actors going all out with their performances is an absolute recipe for success and that’s no exception here. The themes of parenthood and environment are well done, offering ideas that the viewer may have not even thought about. The film shows a lot of the dark side of these themes and how they could end up in the future which again the film manages to capture with its atmosphere and direction.

As I’ve been saying throughout this review the atmosphere is always consistent and is a major key as to why the film works as well as it does. When the film needs thrilling and darker moments the atmosphere delivers (there’s a few scenes in particular that really showcase this) when the film needs some more happy moments the atmosphere will also give the film that as well. It especially helps the performances and just how fascinating they are, each character has their own path and you really feel that throughout the film.

The world building is incredibly top notch, sure we are restrained to a house but just by looking at the background, the house itself and from what the characters tell us it’s more than enough to connect to the film’s world. It’s to the point where you really want to stick around and explore more even when the film ends.

Overall The Assessment is a fantastic film, showcasing some of the best performances so far this year with some incredible world building and excellent direction! I highly recommend this one!

The Assessment is currently in theaters.

Ash (2025) Film Review

Riya wakes up on a mysterious planet to discover her crewmates have been slaughtered. When a man arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues. Warning: This film contains extended sequences of flashing lights.

Ash is directed by Flying Lotus who previously directed Kuso (2017).

Flying Lotus returns with his second film, Kuso (2017) was a wild and pretty insane film that has grown on me over the years. Even back when I first watched it I did wonder what Flying Lotus would end up doing next, Ash is a very different film and that’s definitely a good thing in this case. It’s much more mainstream and what you would expect from a sci-fi horror film, that’s not to say that there isn’t any surprises or Flying Lotus does not make anything his own because he absolutely does especially when it comes to the third act.

The performances are quite great particularly Eiza González who hits it out of the park and makes for an incredibly fun final girl and Aaron Paul who works well with González plus matches the film’s atmosphere perfectly. González carries a lot of this film, we slowly learn more about her character Riya and what exactly happened that caused the situation she’s in, what happened to everyone and who she really is. All of this is done and shown through her strong performance that captures the film’s void like atmosphere the type where you keep guessing as to what is exactly going on here, we are put into the perspective of Riya slowly recovering memories as to what happened and we slowly learn the horrifying truth with her. All of this makes for a fantastic performance especially with her facial expressions and the more quiet moments.

We do not get as much with Aaron Paul’s character Brion but his acting and conversations with Eiza González is more than enough to build his character. Some may already predict what the film does with Brion as a character, but the execution is still quite solid and at least has a lot of other fun elements to his character to back it up. The acting from Paul and González naturally bounce off of each other incredibly well which gives the atmosphere it’s much needed thrills and intrigue as it goes on.

Ash takes heavy inspiration from survival horror games such as Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Outlast and Silent Hill. There’s also a mix of Alien (1979), Event Horizon (1997) and a lot of cosmic horror films. All of which blend well together and give the viewer a genuinely creepy experience. The practical effects with the monsters is creative and brings this classic sci-fi charm into the mix, the film is very immersive much like the survival horror games I mentioned. It does a great job of making you feel like you are there especially with certain camera angles the film opts to use later on which lead to some quite brutal and gory scenes.

The visuals are absolutely stunning, some space themed horror films have this problem with a lack of identity when it comes to visuals. But Ash goes all out with it’s visuals and manages to create something truly beautiful as well as haunting, it’s use of color combined with the cinematography make for some of the most beautiful shots from a film so far this year. It’s a breath of fresh air to see a film like Ash really make the whole space theme a bit more unique with a lot of color and go all out with combining the color with the atmosphere.

I will say that Ash takes a while to get going, if you are going into the film expecting a straightforward film about a monster hunting people down one by one then you are going to be left disappointed. Ash is a film that takes its time to build the mystery of what happened and explore its world, we get flashbacks throughout the film but we don’t get answers until later on. Usually this would heavily backfire for most films but this is a different case here, the film does such a great job of building interest from the viewer and rewards the patience with some incredibly fun gore, practical effects and an even more dark atmosphere.

Overall Ash is a really solid sci-fi horror film, sure it does not exactly reinvent the genre. But the inspirations that Flying Lotus took are done well here, the performances are strong (I do wish we got to see a bit more from the side characters but that’s really not a huge deal) and the atmosphere is top notch. Definitely check this one out if you haven’t!

Ash is currently in theaters.
