Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews ·

2025/06/09

What makes Heretic (2024) one of A24’s most divisive horror films to date? In this movie review, we dive into a slow-burn thriller where Hugh Grant channels cold charisma as a philosophical villain challenging everything you believe — literally. Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place), the film traps two young Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) in a psychological mind game that unpacks faith, control, and the seductive power of certainty. Buckle up — this one’s going

The twist wasn’t the only betrayal… In this episode of the Cinema Psycho Show, we dig into The Village (2004), the film that marks the moment M. Night Shyamalan may have officially turned on his audience. With a nonsensical twist, stilted dialogue, and characters that act like NPCs in a period drama fever dream, The Village feels less like a film and more like M. Night yelling “You expected brilliance? Here’s a blind girl in the woods.” We dive into: Whether this movie is a deliberate act of

Maximum Overdrive (1986) is Why Stephen King will...

Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews ·

2025/04/19

The master of horror himself, Stephen King, steps behind the camera in 1986’s “Maximum Overdrive.” A movie where the only thing that is frightening is the behind the scenes terror caused by an unhinged writer/director amidst one of their worst bouts of substance abuse. Master of Horror he may be, but King’s tale of sentient electronics and trucks (but not cars) is one of the most boring entries into his catalog of terror. But what is it that makes this movie so terrible? Join us with special guest,

What happens when Henry Selick, the Director of a Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and James and The Giant Peach decides to create a live action film? You get the insanity that is Monkeybone. This dark fantasy/gross out comedy stars Brendan Fraser, Bridgette Fonda, the voice of John Tutoro, and zombie Chris Kattan and when it released in 2001, it failed at the box office and marked the short end to Henry Selick’s live action career. But does this movie deserve all the hate? And are there

Is Captain America: Brave New World on track to be a $400 Million Dollar Hulk-Sized Flop or are the negative reviews a bit over blown? This week, we are gliding into another entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine gave us a glimmer of hope in a MCU that embraces doing something a bit different, Captain America: Brave New World just feels like a harsh snap back to reality…and super hero fatigue.

It's Valentine's Day (well...a few days after) and what better way to tell someone you love them by scarring them for life at a 6th grade dance so that they grow up to be David Boreanaz with a bloody nose and make it their mission to murder you with hallmark greeting cards while wearing a cupid mask. This week, we are talking about Valentine from 2001.

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are cinematic masterpieces. And 1990's The Godfather Part III is viewed by most as the cinematic red-headed step child that lives in your attic eating fish heads. But does this movie deserve all the hate?
