'Longlegs' Review: It’s Maika Monroe vs. Nicolas Cage in a Horror Journey of Pure Evil

Osgood Perkins' uncomfortable horror mystery takes a bit to find its...legs, yet it eventually gets under your skin and refuses to leave.

Maika Monroe (It Follows) and Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage (Pig) lead one of the biggest horror hits of 2024 in Longlegs.

The tense horror thriller follows young FBI agent Lee Harker, who comes from a traumatic past. After getting a premonition that leads to the death of a fellow agent, Lee is tasked with helping track down a Satan-worshipping serial killer who is behind the murders of multiple families in Oregon, despite never being present at the scene of the crime. The further along Lee gets into the investigation, the more disturbing it gets, leading to a shocking finale.

Osgood Perkins (The Monkey) wrote and directed Longlegs, which also stars Blair Underwood (L.A. Law), Alicia Witt (Twin Peaks), Michelle Choi-Lee (Joy Ride), Dakota Daubly (Shōgun), and Kiernan Shipka (Twisters).

'Flow' Review: A Cat's-Eye View of The End of The World

In this masterful animated film, a cat, a capybara, a lemur, and a Labrador Retriever get in a boat and try to survive a flooded world.

2024 was an incredible year for animated films from The Wild Robot to Inside Out 2 and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. However, arguably the most acclaimed movie of the bunch is a little movie from Latvia about a little black cat trying to find his way home.

Flow is a dialogue-free animated adventure following a black cat, whose home is ruined by a flood. In order to find safety and a new home, the feline hops aboard a boat populated by other animals including a capybara, a lemur, and a yellow lab.

The movie is directed by Gints Zilbalodis and has earned two Academy Award nominations, Best Animated Feature and Best International Feature (Latvia).

'Better Man' Review: Robbie Williams Is a CGI Monkey In Wild Take on the Music Biopic

From 'The Greatest Showman' director Michael Gracey, 'Better Man' takes a bananas look at the celebrity biopic.

You’ve seen plenty of musical biopics before. But you’d be lying to yourself if you said you saw a musical biopic like Better Man.

The unconventional and fantastical musical odyssey follows the rise of British pop sensation Robbie Williams, from his days in the boy band Take That to overcoming drug addiction and kickstarting his own successful solo career. Instead of just having any old actor play the lead role, the film takes the bold approach of having Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey.

Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) directs the movie which stars Williams himself, Jonno Davies (Hunters), Steve Pemberton (The League of Gentlemen), Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Raechelle Banno (Home and Away), Alison Steadman (Gavin & Stacey), Frazer Hadfield (Frayed), Tom Budge (The Artful Dodger), and Anthony Hayes (Animal Kingdom). The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects.

Maya is inadvertently thrust into the center of an international conspiracy where she will have to race across the globe in order to outrun some dangerous forces who want her dead.
