Late Night With the Devil (2023)

Read Our Review

One of Shudder's newest exclusives is a particularly intriguing international co-production. Co-directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night with the Devil takes place on Halloween night circa 1977, featuring a business-savvy talk show host named Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) trying a daring experiment. In a bid for higher viewership, Delroy puts on an occult-themed special with plenty of supernatural intrigue. However, tampering with the souls of the dead may have horrible consequences for not just Delroy, but his audience nationwide. Laura Gordon, Ian Bliss, and Fayssal Bazzi co-star in this terrifying tale alongside Dastmalchian.

A Thrilling Tale of Late Night Terror

Despite facing some minor controversy due to the use of AI in the film's production, Late Night with the Devil shines as both a period piece and as a legitimate fright-fest. Beyond being your typical found-footage film, Late Night with the Devil utilizes its staging as a live performance along with traditional filming techniques in order to balance genuine misery with some lighter moments. At only a little over 90 minutes, Late Night with the Devil does all it can to wring every unique idea out of its premise before coming to a surprising conclusion. It's certainly a refreshing horror film if you're aching for something a little different. Be sure to check out the trailer for Late Night with the Devil below:

It's a Wonderful Knife

The slasher genre is always in need of innovation, and given its malleable nature, it's no surprise that It's a Wonderful Knife debuted in late 2023. A dark homage to the classic Christmas film It's a Wonderful Life, It's a Wonderful Knife sees a young woman, Winnie (Jane Widdop), left in a depressive rut around the holiday season. Having previously saved the town from a monstrous masked killer, she laments her past and wishes that she had never been born. Unfortunately, her wish comes true, and she's left to discover just how many people she saved on that faithful night by reliving it once again.

It's a Wonderful Knife Is a Bloody Homage

Director Tyler MacIntyre presents a film that both genre enthusiasts and holiday fanatics can enjoy in equal measure, blending elements of dark humor with an interesting subversion on a classic Christmas tale. Though it's not necessarily fit for the whole family, its eclectic premise and compelling performances from the extended cast – including Joel McHale and Justin Long – make It's a Wonderful Knife an equally bloody and entertaining slasher flick.

V/H/S/85

The next exciting entry in the V/H/S anthology series hearkens back to the days of 1980s filmmaking. V/H/S/85, appropriately lit up with neon lights and doused in fog machines, collects several different horror-centric short films from a plethora of directors, with the whole shebang focusing on a specific theme. While all V/H/S films feature an overarching narrative connecting the shorts, we're jumping back to the 1980s this time around, with several era-appropriate stories featured throughout.

Scott Derrickson Returns for V/H/S/85

The biggest strengths of V/H/S/85 lie solely within its anthology format. Well-known directors like Scott Derrickson, as well as new visionaries like Gigi Saul Guerrero and Natasha Kermani, all lend their talents to each of their respective shorts. David Bruckner, who previously directed 2022's Hellraiser, is in charge of the wraparound segments as well, tying each of these exciting shorts into a linear narrative. If you're the kind of horror fan who appreciates variety in their frightful films, V/H/S/85 is up there as one of Shudder's best original offerings.

Napoleon (2023)

Read Our Review

The latest project by Ridley Scott is one filled with his technical passion. Napoleon is a grandiose historical epic directed by Scott and written by David Scarpa, telling an abridged biography of Napoleon Bonaparte's life in addition to his relationship with his wife, Joséphine. Some of Napoleon's most immense battles are brought to life on the big screen, all while political tensions back home threaten his globe-spanning conquest. Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby co-star as Napoleon Bonaparte and Joséphine Bonaparte, respectively, with additional performances provided by Tahar Rahim, Rupert Everett, Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnier, and Matthew Needham.

An Incredible Display of Production Design

In addition to earning nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Production Design at the Academy Awards, Napoleon is a marvelous feast for the senses. Though Napoleon's historical accuracy is "questionable" at points, to put things lightly, the surrounding film is more than serviceable as a feature-length highlight reel for one of history's most prominent figures. It's a film you'll appreciate more for its incredible technical qualities and immense scope than for its weaker elements, though individual moments do shine through in its gargantuan runtime. For a quick glimpse at Napoleon, be sure to check out the film's trailer below:

Killers of the Flower Moon

Read Our Review

Martin Scorsese is back with Killers of the Flower Moon, and after making a big splash at the box office, it's finally available on streaming. A period drama based on David Grann's titular book, Killers of the Flower Moon takes place in 1920s Oklahoma, centered around the discovery of oil in the middle of the Osage Nation. Unfortunately, greed and malice collide as competing interests set their sights on the oil underneath the soil, with bodies piling up at a concerning rate. When the Bureau of Investigation gets involved, things will only intensify further.

Martin Scorsese Returns With a Triumph

A deviation from Scorsese's typical crime stories, Killers of the Flower Moon paints an all-encompassing picture of one of the most gratuitous crimes in American history. Its extensive cast, comprised of frequent Scorsese collaborators like Leonardo DiCaprio and established names like Tantoo Cardinal, lend this epic Western drama some appropriate credence alongside its authentic Oklahoma setting. With a stunning soundscape provided by the late Robbie Robertson, the last collaboration between him and Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon successfully returned Scorsese to the spotlight. Now, you can catch his latest crime epic from the comfort of your couch cushions.

The Family Plan

Mark Wahlberg dons a pleasant smile and a calm demeanor in The Family Plan. However, this pleasant disposition may be hiding a shocking secret. After living a fruitful life as an automotive sales agent, complete with a loving family, Dan Morgan (Wahlberg) is forced to dredge up his past as a cold assassin when an old acquaintance comes knocking. The film was directed by Simon Cellan Jones, marking his first feature film credit in over 20 years, with additional performances provided by Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, and Maggie Q.

The Family Plan Is Incredibly Popular

Overshadowing previous exclusive films like Ghosted, The Family Plan is officially the most-viewed film on Apple TV+, This action comedy film leans heavily on its intense choreography and explosive shootouts more than its comedic chops, but the charismatic performance found in Wahlberg's Dan Morgan is enough to carry this film to its dramatic finish. It's arguably one of the most likable performances Wahlberg has put on in years, with the surrounding family playing a key role in the film's events, rather than just being typical set dressing.

Bob Marley: One Love

Read Our Review

Musical biopics are as plentiful as they are varied, but the latest (and greatest) from the genre has recently debuted on Paramount+. Enter Bob Marley: One Love, with Kingsley Ben-Adir playing the famed reggae musician. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green (Monsters and Men, Joe Bell), Bob Marley: One Love follows Marley from his humble beginnings in the mid 1970s until his tragic death in the early 1980s, chronicling the creation of the titular song as well as his involvement in the wider reggae and Rastafarian movements. Lashana Lynch and James Norton co-star as Rita Marley and Chris Blackwell, respectively.

You'll Love Bob Marley: One Love

Aside from featuring the musical stylings of one of music's most recognizable artists, Kingsley Ben-Adir is practically a spitting image of the late Bob Marley. He, along with the film's greater themes of love and peace, are a refreshing change of pace compared to the typical rise and fall format you'd come to expect from musical biopics. Aside from being essential viewing for any fan of Bob Marley's work, One Love paints a terrific portrait of Marley with an infectiously memorable score.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning

Read Our Review

Even now, Tom Cruise is still defying all odds when it comes to performing his own stunts. This is especially evident in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, the latest in the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise. One of the most expensive movies ever made, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning takes place after the events of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, placing Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) at the center of his biggest mission yet. When a weapon that could end all life as we know it is sequestered into the wrong hands, Hunt and the IMF are tasked with preventing a global catastrophe. Of course, this also means Hunt will have to put his life at severe risk through a plethora of jaw-dropping stunts.

An Impressive Mission: Impossible Film

Tom Cruise's physicality aside, Dead Reckoning is an impressive film from a purely technical standpoint. Despite numerous production setbacks following the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects provided by Industrial Light & Magic on top of oodles of ludicrously expensive stunts makes for a total visual spectacle. There's even an incredible train sequence that's sure to take your breath away. Combine that with nominations for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards, and you have what is likely one of the most viscerally entertaining action movies of 2023.

Good Burger 2

Did we really need a follow-up to Good Burger? Given Good Burger 2's popularity, it looks like we did. Good Burger 2 picks up twenty-six years after the events of the first film. Dexter Reed has distanced himself from the titular restaurant in pursuit of independent entrepreneurship. Unfortunately, when his latest attempt at innovating fails, he's forced to return to Good Burger once more to get back on his feet. Though Dexter is greeted with warm faces and a wonderful reunion with Ed, his attempts to break out from his greasy occupation may put the entire establishment at risk. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell reprise their roles from the original film, in addition to producing the production as a whole.

A Welcomed Legacy Sequel

Good Burger 2 is a welcome nostalgia trip for fans of this wacky comedy franchise. Thompson and Mitchell haven't missed a beat, maintaining the hilarious chemistry that defined their iconic relationship so many years ago. A plethora of celebrity cameos, including appearances from Mark Cuban, Andy Samberg, and Nicole Richie can also be found throughout. Of course, returning writers Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert penned this sequel's hilarious screenplay, having originally worked on the beloved first film. We may even see Good Burger 3 enter development sooner than you'd think.

Drive-Away Dolls (2024)

Read Our Review

Ethan Coen of the Coen brothers came out with a surprising film this year, and it's in a genre you wouldn't necessarily expect. The 2024 road trip comedy Drive-Away Dolls sees Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan co-starring as Jamie and Marian, respectively, on an interesting trek across the United States. After a harsh breakup sees the two friends winding up together once again, their impromptu journey to Tallahassee is fraught with a murderous case of mistaken identity. Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, and Matt Damon co-star alongside Viswanathan and Qualley.

Carried by Qualley and Viswanathan

Any road trip comedy worth its salt is carried by its lead performances, and suffice to say, Drive-Away Dolls is easily carried by its two leads. Their charisma and comedic timing allow for this sub-90 minute feature to come to a brisk conclusion. Drawing parallels to the numerous films directed by both of the Coens throughout their expansive filmography, Drive-Away Dolls also injects its own unique style independent of those previous projects, no doubt due to the involvement of Tricia Cooke in the writing department. Though reviews have been mixed overall, many have noted the film's effectiveness as a raunchy comedy as its biggest draw. Be sure to check out our exclusive interview with Geraldine Viswanathan and Beanie Feldstein below:

Oppenheimer

Read Our Review

If you somehow missed one of the single biggest films of 2023, don't worry: Oppenheimer is finally available on streaming. The latest and greatest by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is a focused biopic about what is arguably one of the most intriguing faces of World War II: J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is portrayed by Cillian Murphy here. The film follows the career of Oppenheimer, ranging from his initial studies, to his involvement with the Manhattan Project, to his ultimate downfall. Emily Blunt and Matt Damon co-star as his wife, Kitty, and as the director of the Manhattan Project, Leslie Groves, respectively.

2023's Most Popular Film

What can be said about Oppenheimer that hasn't been said already? It's a film whose impressive cinematography, emphasis on practical effects, and terrific casting catapulted it to the top of 2023's most popular films. This is doubly true based on its Academy Award performance, not only being the film to receive 13 nominations across all categories, but ultimately going on to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. Suffice to say, its positive qualities made it an incredible watch, cementing it as one of the most acclaimed films of 2023. Watch the trailer for Oppenheimer below:

The Book of Clarence

Read Our Review

Jeymes Samuel, after previously creating the stylish action Western The Harder They Fall for Netflix in 2021, came back with yet another creative film in 2023. Now that it has completed its run in theaters, it's now available to stream on Netflix. The Book of Clarence takes us back to 33 A.D., where a man named Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) finds an opportunity to pull himself out of a bad situation. Burdened with debt, Clarence discovers the growing popularity of Jesus Christ, and subsequently declares himself to be a new Messiah ordained by God to capitalize on this. However, his plan may not go as smoothly as he hopes.

An Inventive and Polarizing Dramedy

Though The Book of Clarence was met with mixed reviews during its original theatrical run, you can't deny that it certainly has a lot going for it. Like The Harder They Fall, it has an incredible ensemble cast featuring the likes of Omar Sy, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Anna Diop, and James McAvoy, paired with a script originally penned by Jeymes Samuel. The acclaimed cinematographer Rob Hardy (Annihilation, Ex Machina) is attached as well, giving the film's unique presentation some much-needed visual flair. It's a film that goes in multiple directions, but each one is equally entertaining. Be sure to check out our exclusive interview with LaKeith Stanfield and RJ Cyler below.

Suzume (2023)

What is arguably one of 2023's best animated films has recently jumped onto Netflix in all of its stunning glory. Suzume, directed by Makoto Shinkai, tells an enigmatic coming-of-age tale centered around a young high school girl named Suzume Iwato. After discovering a mysterious door standing by itself, she makes the discovery of a lifetime, inadvertently leading to a series of natural disasters. With the help of a mysterious stranger, she'll have to close more of these doors before an all-encompassing force threatens her home. Nanoka Hara lends her voice to the title character, whereas Hokuto Matsumura voices Souta Munakata, Suzume's mysterious partner.

One of 2023's Best Animated Films

After previously being exclusive to Crunchyroll, Suzume has finally made the jump to Netflix. Frankly, it's about time. This incredible animated film was the subject of numerous accolades, earning several Annie Award nominations for Best Feature, Best Character Animation – Feature, and Best Voice Acting – Feature. Were it not for Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron, it could've also won Best Animated Feature at the Golden Globe Awards. But even without that award, Suzume earned heaps of praise for its incredible presentation, relevant themes, and its purposeful deviations away from Makoto Shinkai's previous works.

Damsel

If you're still reeling from the sudden delisting of Hulu's The Princess back in 2022, one of Netflix's latest fantasy action films may fill the void left behind by its absence. Damsel sees Millie Bobby Brown playing the role of Elodie, a young woman who, after realizing her marriage is nothing more than a means to an end, is tasked with taking on the righteous fury of a leviathan dragon all by herself. The film was directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, famed for his sophomore directorial effort 28 Weeks Later, with additional cast members including the likes of Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Angela Bassett.

A Damsel Dishing Out Distress

Is Damsel fine art? Is it a film that touches on important issues or has lofty ambitions of something greater? Well, no. But as a genre film, one with an exceptional cast and a talented director behind it, Damsel delivers an effective story with entertaining production values. Millie Bobby Brown's transformation from a damsel to a dragon-fighting hero is engaging from start to finish, and the film's simple premise allows for its true strengths to stand front and center. If you're curious about Damsel, be sure to check out the trailer below:

Spaceman

Read Our Review

It's safe to say that whenever Adam Sandler ventures out of the comedy wheelhouse for a dramatic role, you're in for a real treat. Case in point, Spaceman, his latest dramatic venture that debuted exclusively on Netflix. Sandler plays Jacob Procházka, an astronaut on an isolated mission in the deepest reaches of space. Of course, sending a single man on a six-month expedition to the stars comes with a dangerous problem: loneliness. As Jacob ponders the state of his loved ones after they cease communications, the discovery of a stowaway on his ship may ultimately turn his life around.

Adam Sandler Does It Again

Without spoiling some of the film's most interesting attributes, Spaceman's examination of loneliness and interpersonal relationships is absolutely worth seeing. Sandler pairs well with co-stars Carey Mulligan and Paul Dano, and with direction from Johan Renck of Chernobyl fame, what you get is an incredibly emotional story with some ample zaniness to keep things interesting. Even though Spaceman is only Renck's second film as a director, it's certainly one that promises more inventive stories in the future. Be sure to check out our exclusive interview with Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan below:

Thanksgiving

Famed horror director Eli Roth has finally returned to the big screen with one of his most intriguing projects yet: Thanksgiving. A feature-length extension of a fake trailer made for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodgiuez's 2007 double-feature, Grindhouse, Thanksgiving marks Roth's first foray into both holiday-themed horror and the slasher subgenre. Set during the eponymous holiday season, this straightforward slasher sees a masked killer tormenting the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The killer does so while donning a John Carver mask, adding the pulpy humor found throughout.

Eli Roth's First Slasher

Any fan of Roth's work needs to check out Thanksgiving. It's the first time he's foraying into one of the most seminal horror subgenres ever made, and knowing his penchant for hyperviolence, it'll be a great opportunity to see some brutal slasher kills. Thankfully, you can also expect to see his patented brand of dark humor as well, made all the more effective via the performances of Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, and Milo Manheim. After quickly becoming a box office success, a sequel has already entered development.

The Equalizer 3

The Equalizer 3 finds Robert McCall in post-retirement...retirement. Because, of course, that first retirement attempt didn't work out so well. Now, he's living in Italy, mingling with the locals and developing connections — connections that are threatened when the local crime bosses seek to increasingly control their lives, property, and bank accounts. Denzel Washington returns once more to reprise his role as Robert McCall, this time starring alongside Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, David Denman, and Gaia Scodellaro.

A Solid Trilogy-Capper

The first Equalizer film was, like the original John Wick, fairly small-scale. The sequel brought in a bit more of McCall's past, not to mention those he thought were his friends. In other words, the stakes were higher in the sequel. But the third film takes things back to even more restrained territory than the first one. If any of the three Equalizers is more concerned with fleshing out the character of McCall than anything else, it's the third. Denzel Washington would later earn a nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture at the NAACP Image Awards for his performance here.
