This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we cover a wild mix of genres—stylish revenge thrillers, quirky capers, shark horror, supernatural suspense, and a cult classic thriller.
Ballerina
Directed by Len Wiseman
Starring Ana de Armas, Keanu
Reeves
Set in the John Wick universe, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro, trained by the deadly
Ruska Roma, as she unleashes her skills on an army of assassins in
her quest to avenge her father's murder.
The Phoenician Scheme
Directed by Wes Anderson
Starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia
Threapleton
In classic Anderson fashion, this film delivers a visually
whimsical and tonally oddball tale of inheritance, danger, and
absurdity as a nun becomes the unlikely heir to a business empire
under siege from international foes.
Dangerous Animals
Directed by Sean Byrne
Starring Hassie
Harrison
A sun-soaked nightmare with blood in the water. A surfer named
Zephyr is held captive by a shark-worshiping serial killer aboard
his boat, racing to escape before becoming bait in a gruesome
ritual.
Bring Her Back
Directed by Michael and Danny
Philippou
Starring Sally Hawkins, Billy
Barratt, Sora Wong
From the creators of Talk to
Me comes another chilling descent into supernatural terror. A
foster home hides sinister secrets when two siblings witness a
horrifying ritual that puts their souls—and sanity—at risk.
Classic Review: Mute Witness (1995)
Directed by Anthony Waller
Starring Marina Zudina, Faye
Ripley
This criminally underrated ‘90s thriller follows a mute makeup
artist who accidentally stumbles upon a snuff film being made in a
Russian studio. What follows is a tense and terrifying game of
survival against the Russian mafia.
