For our most comprehensive year-end feature we’re providing a cumulative look at The Film Stage’s favorite films of 2022. We’ve asked contributors to compile ten-best lists with five honorable mentions—a selection of those personal lists will be shared in coming days—and from tallied votes has a top 50 been assembled.
Without further ado, check out our rundown of 2022 below, our ongoing year-end coverage here (including where to stream many of the below picks), and return in the coming weeks as we look towards 2023.
50. A Night of Knowing Nothing (Payal Kapadia)
Payal Kapadia’s breakthrough work is a quasi-documentary with something of Chris Marker’s postmodern essay films, following a young film school student, “L,” who experiences a romantic and political coming-of-age amidst the anti-democratic changes wrought in Modi’s India. Yet it boldly eschews the informational and concrete approach of many political documentaries, allowing us a filmic...

It's been a few months since we last heard anything about the wonderfully titled low budget, man-in-suit monster movie Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You!, which once again proves The Cabin in the Woods was correct about everything being better with a merman.
Synopsis:
A vicious monster has arisen from its watery lair! It's the Riverbeast, and he's threatening a peaceful New England town. Local tutor Neil Stuart has seen the beast before, but nobody believed his story, making him the town laughingstock. Neil sets out not only to prove that the Riverbeast exists but also, with the help of his beautiful pupil, scrappy tutor buddies, and a former professional athlete, to vanquish the aquatic menace!
Don't Let the Riverbeast Get You! is an all-new movie from the makers of Freaky Farley and Monsters, Marriage, and Murder in Manchvegas. It's directed by Charles Roxburgh and stars Matt Farley, Sharon Scalzo,...

Just looking at the monstrous merman at the heart of the new indie horror-comedy Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You! reminds me yet again why an old fashioned rubber monster suit possess so much more charm and personality than the majority of today’s digital monsters.
That tagline for Charles Roxburgh’s low budget Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You! bills its title creature as “the most indecorous aquatic menace of all-time.” For those without a dictionary, “indecorous” is another word for unseemly. Not entirely sure why that applies to the Riverbeast because I’m sure if you look hard enough, you’ll see the costume’s seems. Oops, wrong seams.
I don’t know if the movie will be good or bad, but I can’t look at the costume without it warming the cockles of my heart. It’s goofy and ghastly, wonderfully so.
