In the Heights is an epic celebration of humanity I’ll be thinking about for the remainder of 2021.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a rather forgettable entry in the ever-expanding Conjuring universe and the only film featuring Ed and Lorraine Warren as the central characters I’ll never willingly choose to return to.

Jakob’s Wife is one of the better films I’ve seen this year.

Clever, inventive and consistently amusing, The Mortuary Collection is one of the best horror anthologies I’ve ever seen.

The Reckoning is a frustrating misfire.
