We’re big fans of Damian McCarthy’s Oddity over here at Screen Love Affair. It was easily one of the best movie theatre experiences we had back when we saw it at Fantasia in 2024. So expectations were high for McCarthy’s third feature, Hokum. With each film, McCarthy has upped the ante, and this is no…
Have you ever felt like you were losing yourself in a relationship? Writer and director Michael Shanks takes that fear and turns it into the central horror of his debut feature Together. Tim and Millie (played by real-life spouses Dave Franco and Alison Brie) have been together for a decade when they uproot their life…
The Monkey is exactly the kind of hilarious, madcap horror-comedy we need to inject a little life (and death) into cinemas this February. The latest from Longlegs director Osgood Perkins, The Monkey is based on the Stephen King short story of the same name and follows twin brothers who discover a mysterious wind-up monkey (don’t…
The latest from director Steven Soderbergh opened strong this past weekend, nearly doubling its modest $2 million budget. In total, the film grossed $3.7 million in its first three days of wide release. We reviewed the film last week, and gave it a positive rating thanks especially to the strong direction and camerawork from Soderbergh….

It includes the Ocean’s Trilogy, Magic Mike, Contagion, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, and Logan Lucky, a movie I really, really like. He was my most watched director last year too, as over the holidays I watched…
Welcome to the first of three Review Roundups! We have 21 new reviews coming at you over the next week and we will kick things off with our first 7 in this review. Between work, covering the Austin Film Festival, and life in general, we’ve been pretty busy but we still wanted to get our…
I went into Cuckoo with as little knowledge about it as possible, only really knowing that it starred Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, and what a wild ride it was! Cuckoo first premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, but Shea and I were lucky enough to catch it for its…
If you’ve ever talked to me about movies, chances are I have brought up a person whose videos I’ve watched on YouTube religiously for around fourteen years. That person is Chris Stuckmann. On a basic level, Chris and I shared the same taste in movies, but it was more his approach to talking about movies…
This past Sunday was lovingly dubbed “Nunday Sunday” after a brief workshop between Adriana, Sam, Ty, and myself. Why? Well, because last Sunday we went to the theatre for a double-feature of The First Omen and Immaculate! I figured since I saw them on the same day and they’re far more similar than I expected,…
