Pros: Meta-horror satire, suspense

Cons: Slasher kill execution, romance quality

Pros: genre satisfaction, scares

Cons: character development, entertainment value

#10 SOULM8TE
2.0

The Apple 4K presentation was criticized as compressed enough to lose some of the film’s intended cinematic impact.
