Adam Wingard Revives 80s Desert Slasher Vibe in Onslaught with Adria Arjona

Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is a lean 90-minute action slasher that channels John Carpenter’s 80s vibe, with Adria Arjona delivering a gripping performance as a veteran mother facing genetically engineered soldiers; it delivers tense set-pieces and bloody thrills, but its first act drags and its politics feel underdeveloped, earning a solid B- from critics as A24 mounts a Sept. 4 theatrical release.

Jane Schoenbrun Unveils Bold Queer Slasher at Cannes

At Cannes, Jane Schoenbrun discussed their new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma with Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, describing it as a bloody, funny queer slasher. The story follows Kris, a director hired to reboot a problematic ’80s franchise, whose meeting with Billy Presley spirals into a psychosexual exploration of sexuality and identity. Schoenbrun, who is trans nonbinary, frames the project as “about as commercial as I can do,” while the cast shares personal connections to horror and coming‑of‑age themes. MUBI will release the film theatrically on August 7, 2026. The full panel is available in video form, and the interview ties Schoenbrun’s own journey to the film’s themes of self-discovery and sexuality.

Autopilot Rom-Com and Looping Nightmares: A Four-Film Review Roundup

Four new releases are reviewed: You, Me & Tuscany is buoyed by Halle Bailey but crippled by ugly visuals; Exit 8 creates an atmospheric loop-like mood yet drags; Hamlet as a modern London adaptation limps under busy camerawork and editing, despite Riz Ahmed's strong turn; Faces Of Death uses meta-horror to critique online content but doesn’t fully land. Overall, the round-up is mixed, with several high-potential ideas undercut by execution issues.

The new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel, set three decades after the original, features nostalgic callbacks but fails to deliver fresh thrills or originality, despite the presence of returning stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The film is bogged down by predictable plot twists and underdeveloped characters, making it a disappointing addition to the franchise.
