There’s a point where surrendering to a film’s madness becomes waiting for it to stop. ‘Hot Spot’ crosses that line, pushing its psychedelic sci-fi nightmare beyond the point of fascination. Our LFF 2026 review considers a film that doesn’t know when enough is enough.
Day: October 9, 2026
‘Skincare’ has ideas to spare and trouble keeping them in line. Its mix of satire and thrills suggests a sharper film than the one that emerges, making this an uneven encounter with creative ambition that never quite finds its shape.
The violence grabs your attention; Sarah Bolger gives it weight. ‘A Good Woman Is Hard to Find’ delivers a revenge tale powered by an incredible lead performance, with Bolger providing a reason to stay invested beyond the next eruption of brutality.
This time, the conversation turns to the artist behind the pages. Cyrille Pomès joins GVN Talking Comics to discuss ‘Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood’ from Dark Horse Comics, bringing an artist’s perspective to the Hellboy spotlight.
