Back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan with intermittent hearing loss and a major case of PTSD, French Special Forces soldier Vincent (Matthias Schoenaerts) takes a temporary security job, with some other moonlighting serviceman, guarding the Cote d’Azur...

My original introduction to Jackie Chan, way back in the day, was of him swinging off the back of a bus via an umbrella in the original Police Story. So when the latest instalment of his Captain Zhong adventures finally made it to these shores (it was...

Following a tragic car crash that leaves an infant dead, expectant mother Eveleigh (Isla Fisher) and her husband David (Anson Mount) swap their hectic big city lifestyles for the simpler pleasures of the country. Seeking a fresh start, the couple buys a...

In the wake of the ballyhoo surrounding Hardcore Henry, the vogue of the first person perspective seems in a prime position to flood the cinematic market…for better or for worse. Not without its problems, it’s unquestionable that, as a technique, it holds...

Phantom Halo is a story of abuse and love lost in the maelstrom of broken dreams, promises and hope. The film focuses centrally on two brothers, Samuel and Beckett, as they struggle through a life that revolves around scamming, scheming and clinging onto the...

Clearly aiming for emotive and scary, but instead coming across as cheesy and camp, Cherry Tree proves a disappointing watch. A modern-day tale of witchcraft and demonic spawn, David Keating’s flick certainly has plenty of interesting ideas – it just...

Waking up on Thanksgiving after a one-night stand with the hottest guy in Portland, Maine, sassy, awkward Deb (Maria Thayer) is not exactly over the moon when the night before’s dream lover, spiritual vegan pretty-boy Ryan (Michael Cassidy) can’t wait to...

OK, so here’s a poser for you: Let’s just say you are a heavily pregnant young woman, living in a large house on your own, when you receive a phone call from your younger sister. She seems quite hysterical, screaming at you that somebody is in the...

An ultra low-budget slasher that never manages to break free of the shackles imposed by its lack of funds, Scream Park has plenty of ideas and potential, only to end up squandering most of those opportunities. A carve-up set at a crumbling (and about to...

A taut, claustrophobic, lo-fi chiller, Curve dials things right down to a combination of woman versus man, and woman versus the elements, and just about succeeds. Revisiting the classic genre stopping-off point of the hitchhiker with a secret to hide, Iain...

Putting a fresh spin on the classic role of the babysitter in genre cinema, Emelie is a subtle, disquieting little chiller that proves an uncomfortable watch. And I most definitely mean that in a good way, as director Michael Thelin ratchets up the tension...

If there is one word to describe Curtain…‘bonkers’ seems as good as any. Few films can boast a concept so utterly odd…and, even more so, make it work in such a concise and imaginative fashion. While it may suffer from some of the foibles of most low...

I hate camping. Or at least I would if I ever went camping. In the 30 or so years since I left the Scouts somewhat under a cloud (illicit booze, modelling glue and some visiting Girl Guides were involved, that’s all I’m saying…) I’ve never gone...

Mary Shelley’s classic tale of twisted science and the nature of existence has stimulated the imagination since it’s debut in 1818, and it’s constant adaptation on stage and screen in the years that have followed illustrates its power, and the cultural...

“I had sex today…Holy shit!” 15-year-old Minnie Goetze declares, jubilant, flabbergasted, in the opening scene of ‘The Diary of a Teenage Girl’. She’s triumphant, in such a way I’ve only ever seen portrayed by a boy after successfully securing...

It's 1986 in Compton, Los Angeles and an unlikely group of youths form a successful hip hop group by the name of NWA - a group that will revolutionise the genre forever. With different musical abilities, growing fame and fortune, tensions run high and the...

Intent on finding his missing wife Ana (Lorenza Izzo) and travelling only by night (that’s not ominous at all), the taciturn titular stranger, Martin (Christobal Tapia Montt), appears at the door of teenage graffiti artist Peter (Nicolas Duran) and his...

In the realms of horror, Halloween is always the golden holiday, the one that entirely belongs to the spectacle of the macabre. As such, horror cinema often returns to this seasonal treat for a reliably perfect setting to create nightmarish tales where men in...

After failing to secure a coveted promotion at work, train guard Joe (Ed Speleers) finds himself relegated to the graveyard shift on the last train out of Waterloo. It’s the usual collection of drunks, tired commuters, privileged city wankers, day-trippers...

Horror cinema has seen its fair share of sinister pandemics and possessions take over everywhere from the rickety old cabin in the words to the state of the art shopping mall. However, in the shape of Cooties, that sacred space of adolescent joys and pains,...
