Fall TV premieres continue with ‘Disclaimer,’ ‘Day of the Jackal,’ ‘Creep Tapes’

New Releases
‘Caddo Lake’ an engrossing metaphysical mystery
Movie review: Shyamalan might not be helming strong films anymore, but he’s still producing them, including this evocative missing-girl puzzle in the swamps.
‘My Old Ass’ is low-key one of the year’s best movies
Movie review: Actress Maisy Stella bursts onto the scene in this delicately beautiful piece of filmic poetry that mulls the passing of time.
‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ is more of the same
Movie review: The Monsterverse follows up its 2021 clash of the titans with … a rematch of the titans. And some other stuff that’s already leaving my brain.
In ‘Terrifier 3,’ Art is a psycho for all seasons

‘Strangers: Chapter 1’ a strange project, but not all bad
Movie review: Renny Harlin returns to his horror roots in a film that’s perhaps best graded as “incomplete.”
We’re caught in the Shyamalan ‘Trap’ yet again
Movie review: For the second straight year, Night delivers a high-concept horror film that’s undone by poor directorial choices at key moments.
Body-horror film ‘The Substance’ has plenty of it
Movie review: Both a throwback and a breakthrough, Coralie Fargeat’s dark comedy goes deep into self-confidence and self-sabotage.
