Corporate Retreat 2026 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Screenwriter and director Aaron Fisher brought almost the entire cast to the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF) for the world premiere of *Corporate Retreat*. Is this a project so prestigious and glorious that red carpets should be rolled out everywhere? Or is the opposite actually true? Perhaps the young cast simply has nothing better to do and is trying to divert attention from the fact that *Corporate Retreat* is, in reality, a rather silly movie?

It is undoubtedly the latter—though I don't want to sound too negative, since, all things considered, I did have fun with *Corporate Retreat*. Furthermore, it is undeniably a film that fits perfectly into a festival like BIFFF, as it features an extreme amount of gratuitous gore, absurd dark humor, some repulsive moments that make you squirm in your seat, young and attractive faces (both male and female), a catchy soundtrack, and... Did I mention there’s a lot of gore?

Director: Aaron Fisher
Writers: Aaron Fisher, Kerri Lee Romeo
Stars: Alan Ruck, Odeya Rush, Rosanna Arquette

If you want to enjoy *Corporate Retreat*, it is an absolute prerequisite that you completely switch off your capacity for logical reasoning. How is it possible that all these CEOs are barely 20 years old and look like camp counselors? That doesn't matter! Is it plausible that an ordinary person could slit a colleague's throat? Or gut a corpse and rip out its heart? Yes, of course! Is it possible to gouge out your own eye with a spoon? Even under duress? Are we simply supposed to accept that a former CEO has completely transformed into some sort of spiritual cult leader with two attractive young women as his devoted followers? Sure—why not...?

*Corporate Retreat* is the kind of movie that gets worse every time you stop to think about it; and, unfortunately, you have plenty of time to think, as the "initiation" rituals prove tedious and excessively long, and the monologues delivered by the psychopath—played by Alan Ruck—are frankly boring. If you are a fan of gratuitous bloodshed and slasher films, this movie is entertaining; however, if you are looking for superior titles with a similar premise or setting, I recommend *Severance*, *Konferensen*, or *Inhuman Resources*.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...

Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2026 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

The Netflix adaptation of *Steel Ball Run*—whose two-part premiere masterfully condenses the first two volumes of the manga—stands as a celebration of Hirohiko Araki’s creative clean slate. While *Steel Ball Run* serves as a highly recommended entry point into *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* for newcomers, much of its value lies in a prior familiarity with the six-part saga created by Araki. And although the prospect of diving into such a vast and chaotic world may seem intimidating, that very familiarity makes the thematic brilliance of *Steel Ball Run* all the more poignant. Throughout its first six parts, *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* told a fascinating saga centered on the legacy of the Joestar family. The franchise's seventh installment, *Steel Ball Run*, transports this globe-trotting adventure story to the United States of the 1890s. Araki has crafted a standalone narrative continuity that draws heavily upon the mythology already established within the *JoJo* universe. Star...
