Our Austin, TX team of critics and close friends go see theatrical release early screenings in person and then gather together, often with the assistance of a bit of whiskey, to record podcast reviews. If you’re looking for a dead-serious scholarly treatise on new films, this is not what you want. If you want some seriously funny folks with an extensive knowledge of the medium giving you the low-down, Highly Suspect Reviews is your one-stop shop for movie reviews.
Jurassic World Rebirth
JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH MOVIE REVIEW Seven of these Jurassic movies now. SEVEN. The hope was that after the terrible (but, of course, financially lucrative) last three entries, this new creative team led by director Gareth Edwards (who knows a thing or two about giant monsters) would rediscover what made that first Jurassic Park movie so fantastic.

Highly Suspect Reviews: Sorry, Baby

But one thing that did work and seemed to resonate with
Screener Squad: The Unholy Trinity
THE UNHOLY TRINITY MOVIE REVIEW Death looms over a town with a sketchy past drowned in whiskey from high noon to midnight saloon time with ladies of the evening. A stranger appears by the name of Henry Broadway (Brandon Lessard) who has local family ties…and he’s out for vengeance against the man who wronged his Pa. The Irish Sheriff Gabriel
Highly Suspect Reviews: 28 Years Later
28 YEARS LATER MOVIE REVIEW With 28 Days Later‘s explosive success, Danny Boyle’s Oscar win with Slumdog Millionaire, and Alex Garland’s own film career, it’s not entirely surprising to see these filmmakers go back to the zombie well. 28 Years Later is the third film in the horror franchise and you guessed it, takes 28 years after the Rage Virus
