'Madres' succeeds in spotlighting tragedy under the guise of American ideals gone awry but fails its marriage of culture and horror.

'Slumber Party Massacre' is a remake that gets just about everything right, powered by a cast of final girls who have a few things to say about horror’s canonical treatment of women decades prior.

However much the film is limited in its feminist perspective, the sheer technical competence and strength of the performances makes 'The Last Duel' an entertaining tale.

The reminder in 'Freeland' of the individual human cost of social progress is empathetic, prescient and needed.

'Halloween Kills' honors its title with every slit throat, spewing artery and punctured armpit.
