Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Deliciously entertaining, disgusting and twisted” – Digital Spy Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It's an excellent sequel that lives up to the first movie, with its own coda that will leave fans wanting the already-confirmed third movie as soon as possible.” – Digital Spy Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Is Primate the deepest movie you'll see this year? Of course not. But if it's not among the most entertaining horrors of 2026 by the time December rolls around, then fans will have had a very good year.” – Digital Spy Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It would be too churlish to say Avatar: Fire and Ash is the exact same movie as the sequel. However, it's definitely a familiar return to Pandora that can't find a story that impresses anywhere close to the same level of its technical majesty.” – Digital Spy Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 4/5 EDIT “A beautifully judged, tender and authentic drama, brought to life by the best cast of the year. ” – Digital Spy Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Marty Supreme is a special movie. Come for Timothée Chalamet's incredible performance and stay for the constantly surprising plot. Just don't expect to learn too much about table tennis.” – Digital Spy Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “For some fans, it might be enough to get more of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's excellent performances that confirm they were perfect casting for the roles. For others, though, Wicked: For Good won't prove to be quite as wonderful as the first movie.” – Digital Spy Nov 18, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Don't expect any easy answers from A House of Dynamite, but do expect a captivating and intense political thriller.” – Digital Spy Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Its tale of grief following the loss of a child was always likely to be an affecting watch. Even if you went in with that knowledge to Hamnet, nothing can prepare you for just how devastating, and yet also life-affirming, of a watch it turns out to be.” – Digital Spy Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery proves that this franchise is still full of life. More please.” – Digital Spy Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Heel (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Anchored by terrific performances from British acting royalty Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough, with a strong break-out turn from MobLand's Anson Boon, Good Boy is unlike any thriller you've seen this year.” – Digital Spy Oct 11, 2025 Full Review The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Has Laura really witnessed a murder or is she dealing with unresolved trauma? By the end of The Woman in Cabin 10, the bigger question is whether you even care.” – Digital Spy Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It's rare that you can genuinely say a movie is unlike any horror movie you've seen, and you can absolutely say that about Good Boy. It's a must-see for horror fans as we enter spooky season.” – Digital Spy Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Back on haunted house territory, the final outing proves to be a largely scare-free and tired recreation of the previous movies.” – Digital Spy Sep 3, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 4/5 EDIT “It's an unmissable chance to see two of Britain's greats on top form in a war of words where the real winner is the audience.” – Digital Spy Aug 25, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “It is largely an enjoyable and faithful adaptation, but still one that makes notable changes to the book that could irritate fans.” – Digital Spy Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Dragonfly (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Dragonfly is a powerful and compelling drama that explores those that society shuns, building to an ending you won't forget.” – Digital Spy Aug 16, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 3/5 EDIT “It might not be totally fantastic, but The Fantastic Four: First Steps is entertaining enough summer fare, no more and no less.” – Digital Spy Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Superman is a triumph, both as its own standalone movie and as a franchise-starter. There will likely still be some fans longing for the Snyderverse to rise again, but everybody else will savour this fresh take on the iconic hero.” – Digital Spy Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “As familiar paths go, Jurassic World Rebirth does at least deliver some excellent set pieces to make it worth your time.” – Digital Spy Jun 30, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 2/5 EDIT “While there's fun to be had with M3GAN turning from a killer into a sassy killer quip machine, it proves a significant downgrade on the original.” – Digital Spy Jun 25, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Get ready for an emotionally intense experience, punctuated by bursts of violence and terror, that recaptures the dark glory of 28 Days Later.” – Digital Spy Jun 18, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 2/5 EDIT “When the climactic moment of F1: The Movie comes, you should be exhilarated and wanting to cheer like in any good sports movie. Instead, you'll likely just be feeling relief that it the chequered flag has finally come.” – Digital Spy Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “If all you want is two hours of action that's worthy of the John Wick series though, then Ballerina will prove an ideal watch as it has some excellent set pieces that are stylishly executed. It's just a frustration that not everything else is en pointe.” – Digital Spy Jun 5, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The Ballad of Wallis Island is the best British movie of the year so far, and it's barely a contest. You'll immediately want an encore.” – Digital Spy May 30, 2025 Full Review
