This is a slow burn of a psychological horror flick - one that hints at a darkness within its guileless protagonist.

'Wonder Wheel' film review: Winslet shines in Allen's latest
While not among Woody Allen's worst films, "Wonder Wheel" is far from his strongest offering.
'Last Flag Flying' film review: Meditation on war & duty nearly derailed by filler, banter
The disappointment of this melancholic meditation on duty and sacrifice is its thoughtful moments are almost lost in a meandering story riddled with questionable plot choices, stuffed into a movie that is longer than it should be.
'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' film review: McDormand shines in this decidedly angry ride
It is strange to laud a film's strong performances, sharp screenplay and confident direction - and still not love the film as a whole.
'Hostiles' film review: Unromantic Western grounded in Bale's strong performance
Set against the lawless American frontier and powered by a commanding lead turn, this Western drama examines the emotional toll war and violence has on soldiers and those caught in the crossfire of battle.
'Murder on the Orient Express' movie review: Feel free to miss this train
The only real mystery is how this whodunnit devolved into something so unsatisfying.
'Lady Bird' film review: Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age winner
The beautifully, painfully and universally relatable indie winner is a handcrafted time capsule and a winning directorial debut.
'Thor: Ragnarok' movie review: Marvel's Irreverent & fun space romp
The lastest 'Thor' adventure reboots the franchise with an injecting of humor and redefining the franchise's core mythology.
'Tragedy Girls' movie review: A wry, hilarious social media fueled bloodbath
'Heathers' meets 'Clueless' meets every slasher ever in this outrageously dark and hilariously violent comedy.
'God's Own Country' movie review: A quiet, moving love story
The similarities between this British drama and "Brokeback Mountain" only go as far as the basic premise. This patient drama is more nuanced and less melodramatic than Ang Lee's classic.
'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' review: A lumbering, idiosyncratic horror/thriller/comedy misfire
The perplexing and tedious dramatic thriller moves just too slowly and takes far too long before anything of note happens to gain traction as either a compelling mystery or engrossing drama.
'Creep 2' film review: Fiendishly fun, engaging & unpredictable showdown
This twisting horror thriller is a battle of wills between an emotionally vulnerable murderer and his unflappable, stoic muse.
'The Work' film review: Emotionally exhausting look at inmates living in their own personal prison
Emotionally gripping and at times hard to watch, this is a complete deconstruction of macho self-reliance and an arresting look at coping with trauma.
'The Florida Project' movie review: Joyous, heartbreaking tale of childhood in the Sunshine State
Joyous and heartbreaking but ultimately painfully humane, this indie drama beautifully captures the happy-go-lucky feeling of childhood juxtaposed against the grim desperation of life on the edge of poverty.
'Only the Brave' film review: Moving drama that honors firefighters
This biographical drama dramatizes the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots while also celebrating the bravery of first responders. It accomplishes one of those two goals with success.
'Lucky' movie review: Melancholic, poetic & wise film peers into the abyss of death
The late Harry Dean Stanton gets a perfect send off with an unvarnished character study of an old atheist's struggle with his mortality.
'The Square' film review: Bloated, biting jab at art snobs flirts with greatness
The winding, wandering plot of this nearly two-and-a half-hour esoteric Swedish drama will challenge the patience of its audience.
'Blade Runner 2049' film review: Brilliant, profound & soulful sci-fi master stroke
The hype is justified: "Blade Runner 2049" perfectly matches the feel and texture of the iconic 1982 original. "2049" is a breathtaking and beautiful sci-fi sequel.
'Dalida' film review: Portrait of a superstar/troubled romantic
Long before the most recognizable superstar singers, there was an international French diva who recorded songs in 10 languages and was the first artist to earn platinum and diamond honors. This biopic tells the much more interesting story of the singer's stormy personal life off-stage.
'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' movie review: An unholy hybrid of the 'Austin Powers' & 'James Bond'
A bloated, meandering worse retread of the first "Kingsman."
