Spoiler-Free Review: Do You Want to Play? (Tubi FrightFest 2026)
Official synopsis At a Halloween party inside a notorious murder house, fifteen-year-old Emily opens a digital spirit board and invites an ancient entity into her body. To save her, her boyfriend Tommy must join forces with Owen — the app’s creator and his former best friend — before possession becomes permanent. Review Writer/director Nick Lyon’s Do You Want to Play? Has an odd feel to it. The drama, including a love triangle between three Christian private high school students, along with many plot elements have a gateway horror flavor to them, but the carnage and gore is much stronger than I would imagine many preteen viewers might be ready for. More seasoned fright-fare viewers would find the gruesome elements more to their liking but find the other proceedings to be better suited for a juvenile audience. Still, the film offers some interesting updating of spirit board movie chills to the digital world of today’s teens. Lyons does an admirable job

Spoiler-Free Review: Spider Island (Tubi FrightFest 2026)
Official Synopsis A bunch of young men and women just want to have some fun in the sun. What could go wrong? Review Spider Island sees the trope of unlikable influencers getting theirs move from the more often used location of a single type of bode to an entire resort island. Influencers are certainly an easy target, but that type of character is becoming low hanging fruit with each new fear flick. Here, director Christopher Smith’s horror comedy at least gives viewers a more sympathetic “creator” and adds a young woman named Clara (Rose Williams) who is not a part of that group and is concerned with ecoactivism rather than joining the hedonistic partying provided courtesy of pompous corporate resort employee David (Andy Nyman). David wants the influencers to spread the good word about the resort but poisonous arachnids won’t give up their home turf so easily. Clara’s estranged father Curtis (Tim McInnerny) was a famous stage actor who gave

Spoiler-Free Reviews: Still Ohio and Get That Dick (GenreBlast 2026)
Still Ohio Official synopsis In a misguided attempt to save her relationship, Ana (Fernanda Lopez) transfers from Boston College to Tulane to be with her boyfriend, Doug. Doug arranges for Ana to carpool with three of his rambunctious friends, Henry (Michael Zapesotsky), Julia (Sofia Angelopoulos), and Johnny (Jake Melamed). However, along the way, Ana discovers Doug does not know these strangers nearly as well as she was led to believe. Review I’m rather a hard sell on genre films involving time loops, but writer/director Kaylin Allshouse’s Still Ohio is a well crafted exception to my usual stance. The characters and circumstances are nicely fleshed out, the direction is strong, and the performances from the four leads are all impressive. Without giving too much away, the road trip that the four protagonists find themselves on involves a gas station that at first seems eerily similar to the first one where they stopped. As incidents proceed, that location and the other people
