Sting (2024) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Roche-Turner delivers a gruesome jaunt that sometimes feels a tad off-kilter and ill-toned when coupled with surprisingly poignant family drama and spiky frights...” – Starburst May 23, 2024 Full Review Nightmare (1981) 33% 4/5 EDIT “[Nightmare] is an unheeded cult b-movie gem that has stood the test of time and should strike a chord enough to resonate with even the most desensitised horror fans.” – Starburst Feb 9, 2024 Full Review One Life (2023) 91% 4/5 EDIT “With a well-structured screenplay, intricate detail and stunning performances , One Life is taut, adeptly told, pounds with heart and deserves to be seen on as big a screen as possible.” – HeyUGuys Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% 4/5 EDIT “The best fantasy action film of the year. Yamazaki’s film is an artful, bar-setting, barrier-shattering, near masterpiece in the guise of a behemoth blockbuster.” – HeyUGuys Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Dream Scenario (2023) 91% 4/5 EDIT “With so many mid-budget movies being shunted onto streaming platforms, it’s a blessing to see this trippy, cerebral cortex-kneading treat beam with such brilliance on the big screen.” – Starburst Oct 16, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% 2/5 EDIT “An intriguing first half boasts nifty plot turns, unique locales, and subtle hat-tips to the original, but Believer deteriorates into bunkum when genre chestnuts, drudge dialogue, and marred drama/horror resound like ill-conceived DTV trite...” – Starburst Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 3/5 EDIT “There's fun to be had and a lot is done right in this Saw prequel/sequel that’s more engaging, funny and insanely entertaining than it had any right to be.” – HeyUGuys Sep 28, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% 3/5 EDIT “The Nun 2 starts as a tepid follow-up but deviates into a rollicking monster mash as the pace escalates, events intensify, and the story buds into supernatural bedlam...” – Starburst Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Talk to Me (2023) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Talk to Me stands out in a sea of subpar genre efforts, making this debut horror feature well worth checking out on the big screen before it dissipates into streaming platform purgatory.” – HeyUGuys Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Master Gardener (2022) 71% 4/5 EDIT “A powerful, provocative return-to-form for Schrader, and one that should be revered alongside his past masterpieces.” – HeyUGuys May 19, 2023 Full Review Beau Is Afraid (2023) 67% 5/5 EDIT “Beau is Afraid is is a beautiful, juddering, picaresque voyage of discovery. A magnificent cine-soufflé best inhaled by a wide open mind to better savour the brain bending mayhem.” – HeyUGuys May 12, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 85% 2/5 EDIT “This is a gutsy, soulless and anarchic sequel/recall/equal that, while visceral, lacks the charred heart and frantic passion that fired Raimi’s originals. A frustrating disappointment. ” – HeyUGuys Apr 11, 2023 Full Review The Forgiven (2021) 68% 3/5 EDIT “With a starry cast and assured directoral hand It’s both a defective masterwork and minor misfire but one that packs a punch when required, and definitely warrants a watch.” – HeyUGuys Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Prey (2022) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Aside from some flat supporting characters and occasional stale dialogue, the saddest fact about Prey is its perfect big screen viewing that’s bypassing cinemas. But... Trachtenberg’s Predator is gnarly, commanding, and by far the scariest yet.” – Starburst Aug 4, 2022 Full Review The Black Phone (2021) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Tense and unflinching, this is a visceral experience made heart-pounding by a terrifying central performance from Ethan Hawke. Derrickson & Cargill's script makes the most of Joe Hill's horror, and the film will delight and disturb in equal measure. ” – HeyUGuys Jun 20, 2022 Full Review DASHCAM (2021) 47% 4/5 EDIT “Like being electrocuted while riding a rollercoaster, Dashcam is a propulsive piece of untamed horror. Savage, Hurley and Shepherd have surpassed expectations in thrilling fashion. ” – HeyUGuys May 31, 2022 Full Review Cryptozoo (2021) 71% 2/5 EDIT “The slender story meanders amidst an influx of crank characters, jarring violence and profanities, which entomb its crux and anaesthetise viewers, despite all the wondrous creatures, visuals, and imagination on display.” – Starburst Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Kandisha (2020) 79% 4/5 EDIT “A strong horrorshow from Alexandra Bustillo and Julien Maury, made with love and respect for what came before as well as staking out frightning new ground.” – HeyUGuys Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Let Us In (2020) 22% 1/5 EDIT “Writer/director Moss fails to conjure the kind of tense and tangible air that would make Let Us In frighten or resonate as anything other than a bland and weary hotchpotch of derivative ideas and cheap VFX.” – Starburst Jun 22, 2021 Full Review In The Earth (2021) 79% 5/5 EDIT “In The Earth is an outstandingly original mind-blitzing masterpiece. It is a stunning psychedelic nightmare, and the most relevant horror of the year so far.” – HeyUGuys Jun 9, 2021 Full Review Earwig and the Witch (2020) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Though the usual Studio Ghibli ingredients are present, there is a distinct lack of magic in the mix. The move to CG should not necessitate the loss of the hand-made feel, and yet Earwig is a poor relation to its timeless brethren.” – HeyUGuys May 27, 2021 Full Review Bank Job (2021) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A compelling exploration into a deep and dank money pit, with a sharp, vivid focus on the humanity at the centre of artistic and social endeavours.” – HeyUGuys May 18, 2021 Full Review Kidnap Me (2017) 2/5 EDIT “There is an intriguing premise here, and the cast do good work with it, however the crass nature of the execution brings the whole enterprise down.” – HeyUGuys May 6, 2021 Full Review Fried Barry (2020) 80% 5/5 EDIT “A gift-wrapped snow globe full of cocaine and spangle. This debauched adventure is pure drunk, cinematic carnage. Consider that the highest recommendation.” – HeyUGuys May 4, 2021 Full Review The Resort (2021) 37% 3/5 EDIT “The Resort treds familiar ground but brings enough charm and fun to make it a worthwhile journey.” – HeyUGuys Apr 26, 2021 Full Review
