March 25, 2026Addison Wylie0 Comments

John Q receives the “Safdie Cinema” treatment with Scott Anthony Cavalheiro’s inspired thriller Plan C. While the film is stable enough to see itself through to the end, Plan C isn’t without some doubts. Ultimately, the title of the movie grades itself.

Scream Queen Maika Monroe (The Guest, It Follows, Longlegs) goes against type for Maxime Giroux’s feature debut In Cold Light. The performance is one of Monroe’s best, complimenting Giroux’s gripping vigilante crime-thriller that has suspense to spare. In Cold Light is a thrilling pursuit picture, featuring an ex-con, Ava (Monroe), on the run for almost the entirety of the film’s runtime; between an early climactic kill which makes Ava a witness and a target to the story’s natural…
