Bad Man

Action, Comedy

Available on VOD: 23 oktober 2025

Director: Michael Diliberti

Cast: Seann William Scott (American Pie, Lethal Weapon), Chance Perdomo (Gen V, AfterTrilogy), Rob Riggle (Step Brothers, The Hangover..The Other Guys)

When a Special Task Force cop arrives in town to solve a murder, he shakes up the system shocking the local police with his methods. He doesn't play by the book and as effective as he is in busting criminals, the local cops begin to discover this new guy is not at all what he seems. Based on a true story.

• Guardian.com: southern-fried script and idiosyncratic locals lift gun totin’ black comedy, a crime flick with a blokey, improv flavour.
• Moviejawn.com: frequently earn chuckles with some well-deployed gags.
• Gazettely.com: Every film has a center of gravity. In Bad Man, it is unequivocally Seann William Scott. His performance as Bobby Gaines is not so much an impersonation of a character as an unleashing of a chaotic principle. The camera understands this, granting him a physical dominance in every frame he occupies.
• Kenkenreviews.com: Bad Man is a ridiculously fun watch. It’s the kind of movie that delivers the laughs you expect, but also throws in a few punches (literally and narratively) that remind you it’s more than just a buddy cop comedy.
• Searchmytrash.com: Feels quite fresh, thanks to a healthy infusion of comedy (but not on the spoofy side of things), a script that reverts genre expectations, and includes social commentary about small town life on the side. And a subtle yet well-paced directorial effort as well as a solid cast playing well-drawn characters only help make this a great piece of genre entertainment.
• Ukfilmreview.co.uk: a powerful fable about the ethical dilemma of the modern person trying to navigate a world full of false facts and social uncertainty. The thematic depths are layered only for those looking for them, though, and the rock n’ roll soundtrack keeps the over tone pleasing for fans of action comedy thrillers. 
  

Monster Summer

Adventure, Family

Available on VOD: 13 november 2025

Director: David Henrie

Cast: Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, Boss Level, Mad Max), Mason Thames (The Black Phone, For All Mankind), Julian Lerner (The Wonder Years), Abby James Witherspoon (Secret Headquarters), Kevin James (Paul Blart - Mall Cop), Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas)

When a mysterious force begins to disrupt their big summer fun, a group of friends team up with a retired police detective to embark on an adventure to save their island.

• Decider.com: The film has that prevailing quality of its inspirations: absentee adults, and a town full of young people who are both susceptible to being victims and the only force committed enough to truly stop what they’re confronting.
• Subcultureentertainment.com: Benefits from a spirited performance from Gibson, who delivers above and beyond, and Thames is very good as Noah. Safe, cosy, undemanding thrills for family friendly viewing.
• Theguardian.com: A bright spot is young star Mason Thames, also excellent in Ethan Hawke horror The Black Phone. He turns in a soulful performance.
• Moviereelist.com: Monster Summer works very hard to give the audience the hazy, wistful nostalgic past that none of us really remember and it succeeds.
• Crunchonthis.com: Gibson’s presence definitely gives the film some credibility (and watchability) and he doesn’t simply phone in his role here as you would expect. Even Kevin James and Lorraine Bracco try to breathe life into parts that could have been played by anyone. In the end, you get a decent enough family-friendly horror film with zero bad language and nothing that should give the kids lasting nightmares.
• Eu.detroitnews.com: There's a bit of a "Stranger Things" current running through "Monster Summer," a spooky-enough piece of gateway horror which unfolds in the era when kids rode their bikes until the streetlights came on and entertained themselves with tall tales about their neighbors. "Monster Summer" captures a wholesome sense of wonder, and it depicts that time in life between childhood and adulthood when the world is both too big and too small at the same time.
• Rogerebert.com: We're talking purestrain nostalgia for the light-hearted kids' films of the ’80s, whether they be Stephen King adaptations or Spielberg productions like “The Goonies.” “Monster Summer,” the micro-budgeted but big-hearted adventure from child-actor-turned-director David Henrie.
• Fandomwire.com:  While the new adventure horror film Monster Summer is an homage to Goosebumps and Stranger Things, it targets a younger demographic and offers good, frightening family fun!
• Variety.com: A combination of professional polish and a deft serious-though-not-too-serious tone.

Message from Joel Souza, director of RUST: Click here.

• Film-authority.com: The striking appearance of the film is to be commended, with the dark pastoral-Gothic look of Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate, Walter Hill’s The Long Riders, or even Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider; long coats, sparse landscapes, tough times in America. Brutal, unsparing and unsentimental, Rust isn’t an easy film to watch.
• Telegraph.co.uk:  Ravishingly captured.
• Thetimes.com: What a strange, gloomy and deeply beautiful film this is, a testament to Halyna Hutchins’s talent.
• Independent.ie: Steadily performed and beautifully photographed, it’s a western of the dusty, old-school variety that, though marred by tragedy, deserves a look-in.
• Thecanadiancrew.com: he New Mexico vistas and late 1800s recreations are stellar. The muted tones add to murky morals at play. Alec Baldwin is excellent in this movie. Back doing drama after a long stint in comedy, game shows, and reality television, Baldwin does the slipping of the mask to perfection.
• Latimes.com: A testament to lives cut short, “Rust” is beautifully filmed and all the sadder for it.
• Sarahgvincentviews.com: Every exterior scene is like an answered prayer and elevates the movie.
• Collider.com: Complimenting this authentic look are some really great performances from the cast. This isn't some cute little cowboy village, but a nasty, unfair chapter of American history that offers no mercy, not even to children.
• Movieweb.com: Rust is a solid Western that's far more artistic, layered, and complex than its unfortunate production problems.

The Other

Horror

Available on VOD: 4 december 2025

Director: Paul Etheredge

Cast: Olivia Macklin (A Family Affair), Dylan McTee (Roswell, New Mexico), Avangeline Friedlander, Lily D. Moore

After years of failed attempts, Robin and Daniel adopt young Kathelia. But their new family life unravels as Kathelia’s disturbing behavior intensifies. Then, miraculously, Robin becomes pregnant. Yet what grows inside her isn’t a child—it’s a parasitic entity from Kathelia’s dark past. Its goal: to destroy the family from within, starting with Kathelia. Unless she kills it first. A chilling battle for survival, sanity, and the true meaning of family begins.

• Heavenofhorror.com: A heart-filled story that ultimately delivers on brutal horror. Do not miss out on this one. It gets better and better throughout!
• Irishfilmcritic.com: A twisted and atmospheric horror film that leans hard into its strengths. It’s designed to keep you on edge, and it succeeds. Will appeal to horror fans seeking something unsettling, fast-paced, and packed with genuinely freaky moments.
• Weliveentertainment.com: Horror cinema really seems to have a bone to pick with the idea of children being safe in movies. For that reason alone, I can respect the notion of being effectively daring.
• Assignmentx.com: Grows more alarming by the scene. We are drawn in quickly and effectively, surprised repeatedly, and come away with a lot to contemplate.

The Ritual

Horror

Available on VOD: 11 december 2025

Director: David Midell

Cast: Al Pacino (The Irishman, House of Gucci, Scarface, Godfather), Dan Stevens (Abigail, Godzilla x Kong, Downton Abbey), Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga), Abigail Cowen (Stranger Things)

In cinemas August 21. Two priests, one questioning his faith and one reckoning with a troubled past, must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.

• Itsonlyamovie.nl: Door de manier van filmen krijg je soms het idee dat je naar een documentaire kijkt. Het found-footage materiaal geeft de film een gevoel van echtheid. Dat geldt ook voor de twijfel in het geloof, die priester Joseph Steiger ervaart. Het maakt van The Ritual een indringende horrorfilm.
• Pauline.org: Pacino managed to imbue Theophilus with calm, serenity, and faith, especially in the face of the evil they were dealing with. Stevens excels at the difficult task of embodying his character’s uncertainty yet maintaining his desire to help end Emma’s suffering.
• Fotogramas.es: Gesprekken, theologische debatten en onderdrukte seksuele verlangens zijn elementen die van 'The Ritual' een onverwacht, Dreyeriaans requiem maken.
• Cinemovie.tv:  For fans of the genre—or of Pacino—it’s worth a watch for his magnetic performance alone.
• Sfchronicle.com: Has an appealing gravity about it, which probably derives from its adherence to the historical record. "The Ritual" emphasizes Emma’s torment and, in between exorcism sessions, shows Theophilus and the attending nuns treating her with the tenderness one might give a sick person.
• Readysteadycut.com: Features an Al Pacino performance that lends real gravitas to the usual exorcism tropes. Competent and determined take on the formula.

• Variety.com:  A romantic comedy that brings a welcome queer angle, gently funny and quite moving, earns its clichés with sincerity and good humor.

• Wetalkfilm.com: It's clearly been made with love by all involved, and it is, genuinely, nice. An earnestly sweet film where none of the conflicts are too overblown, it’s a charming easy watch that is sure to find its way into the hearts of its audience. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few tears.

• 90% Fresh op Rotten Tomatoes, zie alle reviews hier.
• RogerEbert.com: Ross Marquand gives an impressive physical performance. What happened to him on that ship? Could this even be a "Jacob’s Ladder" situation in which Sean's reality has shifted? Cilella keeps the plates spinning.
• Butwhytho.net: The initial abduction scene is as horrifying as it needs to be, letting vague flashes of the aliens come through a confusing haze that feels like a simulation of being abducted.  It’s deeply felt, genuine stuff.
• Cinefied.com: A remarkable piece of filmmaking that intertwines extraterrestrials and the anxiety of fatherhood into one haunting experience.
• Gazettely.com: Descendent is a quietly unsettling fusion of domestic drama and alien lore, driven by Ross Marquand’s raw, shape-shifting performance and Peter Cilella’s artful restraint.
