I will miss Chilling Adventures of Sabrina more than I may care to admit.

Film Review: The Best Horror of 2020
It was the most terrifying of times, it was the most horrifying of times.
Arts Feature: Best Movies (With Some Disappointments) of 2020
Our demanding critics choose the best films (along with some disappointments) of the year.
Film Review: “Another Round” — Not Drowning but Waving
The excellent cast and realistic tone make Another Round oddly accessible, despite its rather outrageous, anti-social premise.
Film Review: “The Nest” — More Is Less
The Nest is a personal story — unsettling, beautiful, moving and haunting — about that most public of sins: greed.
Film Review: “The Craft: Legacy” — Girls Just Wanna Cast Spells
At a time when witchcraft — not to mention women’s issues of power, autonomy, and identity — is such a prominent part of our cultural conversation, it’s disappointing that The Craft: Legacy doesn’t weave a more satisfying spell.
Film Review: “Rebecca” Remade — Pretty But Unnecessary
What is the problem with this Rebecca? It is stunning to look at and well-crafted, but I sometimes felt as though the actors were striving for a tone more suitable to a film other than the one they were in.
WATCH CLOSELY: “Lovecraft Country” — Blackness, Blackness, All Is Blackness
Lovecraft Country is quite a thrill ride at times, its heady balance of realism and fantasy spiced up with an intoxicating dose of science fiction and time travel.
TV Review: “Ratched” — A Sensational Sartorial Folly
Ratched is lurid, violent, sexually explicit, outrageous, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Ken Kesey’s novel or Milos Forman’s award-winning film adaptation.
Film Review: “The Devil All the Time” — Bad Things Happen, Over and Over Again
This may be the year’s best ensemble cast, and that goes a long way towards making this multi-layered melodrama accessible and compelling.
