‘Xoftex’ Review: Noaz Deshe’s Delirious Refugee Story Captures The Eternal Disorientation Of The Stateless Mind – Karlovy Vary
It wouldn't be a film festival without at least one timely, harrowing emigrant story, but just when you might think the stylistic possibilities have been exhausted — from documentary, to vérité-style fiction and occasionally a dash of deadpan comedy (like Ben Sharrock's wonderful Limbo, 2020) — along…

Ti West Interview: The ‘MaXXXine’ Director Ends The ‘X’ Trilogy With A Look At The Seedy Side Of Hollywood In The Excessive ’80s – Karlovy Vary
Christmas has come early for genre fans this year with the release of MaXXXine, the third and perhaps not-so-final part of a horror trilogy that began in 2022 with X, a splatterfest set in the '70s porn industry.

The 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Opens With A Nostalgic Look Back To The ’90s
The 58th Karlovy Vary Film International Film Festival kicked off with a very personal milestone, commemorating 30 years since the event was taken over by the programming team of Jiří Bartoška and the late journalist Eva Zaoralová.

‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Review: Lupita Nyong’o Stands Out In A Melancholy Action-Horror Prequel
Perhaps emboldened by the critical success of the “Long, Long Time” episode of HBO's The Last of Us, production company Platinum Dunes takes the third episode in its post-apocalyptic A Quiet Place franchise into surprisingly melancholy territory. It's an…
‘MaXXXine’ Review: Ti West And Mia Goth’s Horror Trilogy Comes To A Satisfyingly Bloody Conclusion
Ti West's decades-spanning horror trilogy, which began in the late '70s with X (2022) and then jumped back over half a century for the same year's WW1 prequel Pearl, now fast-forwards to the mid-'80s with a capper that requires a little more thought than its gory, crowd-pleasing predecessors. You'd be…
‘Tim Burton Untitled Docuseries’ Review: An Insightful Portrayal Of Hollywood’s Gothic Disruptor – Tribeca Film Festival
This four-part, so-far-untitled documentary series about the rise and rise of Hollywood's least likely marquee-name director starts out with a tribute from Christopher Walken that will be very hard for the next three instalments to match. In that inimitable… sta-cc-a-to… WAY… of his, the Sleepy Hollow…

‘Lake George’ Review: Shea Whigham And Carrie Coon Spark In A Satisfying Old-School L.A. Noir – Tribeca Festival
Elmore Leonard — cinematically, perhaps the most influential writer of the 20th century whose name never gave rise to an adjective — casts a long shadow over Jeffrey Reiner's Lake George, a satisfying L.A. noir that follows his legacy almost to the letter…
‘McVeigh’ Review: Alfie Allen Impresses In This Chilling Account Of The Radicalization Of The Oklahoma Bomber – Tribeca Festival

‘The Watchers’ Review: Ishana Night Shyamalan’s Folk-Horror Tale Gets Lost In Its Own Plot
So, is it The Watchers or is it The Watched? In North America it's the former, in the UK and Ireland it's the latter, and it's a testament to the all-over-the-shop plotting of Ishana Night Shyamalan's feature debut that it doesn't really make much difference…
