Directed by David F.

All of us would love to be a part of a tight-knit group of pals who would do anything for each other, right?

Best and Worst Films of 2024 (Max Foizey’s list)

Jan 1, 2025 | zekefilm.org | Max Foizey

While 2024 wasn’t a particularly strong year for movies, putting together a top ten personal favorites list at the year’s conclusion was still tough. I’ll give an honorable mention to Smile 2, an ambitious, audacious, and scary movie that I’m sure will hold a dedicated fanbase as the years pass. Justice for Skye Riley. The worst new releases that I endured were Challengers (sorry, Trent), The Watchers (sorry, Dakota), and Elevation (sorry, tank roaches).
