• TheGuardian.com: The number of horror films that promise to sicken your soul and shrivel your stomach is enormous, but the proportion that actually do so, particularly for veteran horror-watchers, is small. I’m pleased to report that Terrifier 3 is genuinely gruesome.

TAKE COVER is a relentless, pulsepounding action thriller that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

• Anygoodfilms.com: Take Cover admirably demonstrates yet again Scott Adkins action star credentials are beyond reproach and far above many of his contemporaries.
• Avforums.com: High concept action romp that delivers the goods.
• Bloodbrothersfilms.com: It's highly entertaining, moves like lightning, and never loses sight that the action and narrative must serve its concept.
• Blu-ray.com: Blasts of action do register as intended. Adkins also receives a chance to show off his thespian skills, handling the complexity of Sam with care.
• Bulletproofaction.com: Take Cover has all the elements that will appeal to the action crowd, but plenty of other strong points that may appeal to a larger audience.

Old Guy

Action, Comedy

Available on VOD: 1 mei 2025

Director: Simon West

Cast: Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Shazam! Fury of the Gods), Cooper Hoffman (Saturday Night)

Aging contract killer Danny Dolinski still believes he’s the best at what he does. Stuck at a dead end but vying for the love of spunky club manager Anata, Danny is thrilled when The Company pulls him back in the field, but only to train Gen Z newcomer Wihlborg, a prodigy assassin with an attitude. The mismatched pair is asked to eliminate a competing crime syndicate, but uncover their employer’s true motive: removing the old guard in a full takeover. The Company didn’t anticipate that Danny's experience coupled with the kid’s brilliance would create such an unlikely bond between the two. With Anata’s crucial help, the duo turns it all back on The Company.

• Thedailybeast.com: The performances from its trio of leads hold enough action-comedy charm to make it worth checking out.
• Latimes.com (Spanish):  Met zijn natuurlijke charisma brengt Waltz een personage tot leven dat de aandacht van de kijker vasthoudt en hem tegelijkertijd vermaakt.
• Assignmentx.com: Waltz gives energy to Danny’s frustration, and Hoffman puts nuance in Wilhborg’s studied calm and increasing exasperation.
• Northshoremovies.wpcomstaging.com: Meets expectations for an action comedy while harkening back to the similarly plotted Burt Reynolds film "Breaking In" (1989). Generational change is a story that will never get old.
• Thirdcoastreview.com: I’m still having a blast watching Hoffman come into his own and test his limits as an actor, while Waltz is the veteran who still knows how to surprise us sometimes.
• Movieweb.com: Waltz can do no wrong with his towering screen presence. A lesser actor wouldn't have been believable as an old-school badass. He's endearing, fun to watch, and anchors Danny's bond between Anata and Wihlborg. That warrants a recommendation for breezy, no-frills entertainment.
• Edwarddouglas.substack.com: I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing more of these characters, since they end up having such strong dynamics, and to me, that’s a testament to a film that works well.
• Cbr.com: One of the few action movies with heart. With that in mind, it may have just as much staying power as some of the films it's looking up to.

Osiris

Action, SF

Available on VOD: 2 oktober 2025

Director: William Kaufman

Cast: Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Max Martini (The Purge, Bosch - Legacy, Saving Private Ryan), Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool I and II, Lucifer)

A team of Special Forces commandos wake up on an alien spacecraft with no memory of how they arrived. They quickly discover they are being hunted by a merciless alien race.

• Blueprintreview.co.uk: The visuals are slick (the flick has a cool dark future vibe), Kaufman wrings some welcome tension out of proceedings, and there is a great opening sequence following the Jupiter 1 satellite as it makes its way through the galaxy. But action is the name of the game here and its quality stuff, Kaufman and his crew squeezing creative energy out of the multiple humans vs aliens firefights. Great to see Kaufman applying his style/knack for action to sci-fi and Osiris is a good introduction to his films if one has not yet checked them out. Good fun.
• Filmhounds.co.uk: Osiris delivers a mostly exciting viewing experience that will likely resonate with fans of classic, action-packed science fiction. From the outset, the film successfully captures a familiar yet fresh sense of sci-fi adventure. While the film's commitment to high-octane sequences could be an issue for some, it cannot be denied that it provides a constant rush of adrenaline that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.
• Gazettely.com: Max Martini carries the role of the squad leader with a commanding, weary presence that anchors the chaos around him. He projects a believable mix of grim determination and exhaustion. he film’s most recognizable face is Linda Hamilton, whose appearance feels like a delightful nod to sci-fi history.
• TheGuardian.com: More enjoyable than all but the most skillfully rendered digital efforts.
• Toisto.net: A surprisingly inventive and charming sci-fi-actioner. Other delights include a wonderfully hammy Linda Hamilton as a Russian special ops fighter stranded inside the alien ship, one fantastic set piece at the end, and a gruffly appealing leading performance from Max Martini, who appears to be having a ball.
• Starburstmagazine.com: Osiris is actually fitfully entertaining in a relentless fashion. The endless gunfights are well staged and the alien design does the job of meeting the demands of the story.

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.

Bang is a hitman. The best to ever carry a gun.  Working for an aging OC crime boss is all he’s ever known but a near death experience changes him forever.  Lives have value beyond the payment Bang is used to receiving and with the help of a beautiful woman he begins to see a better future.  Only his boss doesn’t see this new world the same as Bang and these differences must be settled, but settled the Bang way...

• Blu-ray.com: The writing makes a specific choice concerning Bang’s future as a murderer, and while an offbeat idea is submitted, it’s interesting, promising a different direction for the story than the usual in low-budget thrillers, contains a few surprises and there’s unleashed Weller.
• Original-cin.ca: The kills are brutal and frequent, sometimes inventive, and often shocking. If there’s a meaning to Bang, it’s that cruelty makes for good cinema.

97% Fresh op Rotten Tomatoes (39 reviews). Lees ze hier. Een greep:

• Rogerebert.com: It’s smart, terrifying, and the best indie genre film I saw at SXSW this year.
• Eyeforfilm.co.uk: With some great set pieces and character moments, Finkd Kill Repeat is a consistently entertaining science fiction thriller.
• Variety.com: Impressive set-pieces are sprinkled throughout, from a rip-roaring car chase to open the film and a later brawl between Irene and a pair of shady mechanics. A strong genre entry with the bones of a tender indie about trauma.
• BloodyDisgusting.com: Slickly directed and cleverly told, Redux Redux makes for a dread-soaked and unpredictable surprise of an indie sci-fi thriller.
• Scaredsheepless.wordpress.com: Hard-hitting, emotive and sophisticated - Redux Redux is a compelling watch.

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.
