Bloat (2025) 29% 3/5 EDIT “The screenlife limitations do mean that Bloat can’t quite kick into another gear and ultimately the final act kind of fizzles out.” – Starburst Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% 5/5 EDIT “This dialogue-free marvel has sublime visual power and a resonant sense of cinematic wonder and deep spectacle.” – Starburst Jan 28, 2025 Full Review V/H/S/Beyond (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “We look forward to next year’s entry in what has now become a much welcome pre-Halloween Shudder tradition, and at this rate, it could run to infinity and, ahem, beyond.” – Starburst Oct 16, 2024 Full Review The Crow (2024) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Despite the odd violent flourish, this film is not artistically satisfying nor as emotionally impactful as it should be... Dead on arrival sadly.” – Starburst Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 5/5 EDIT “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is Tim Burton firing on all cylinders, and at the most mischievous he has been in years. A sequel that, after years of waiting, delivers an inventive, giddy, laugh-out-loud funny, tender and a truly special big screen experience...” – Starburst Sep 10, 2024 Full Review The Last Breath (2024) 31% 4/5 EDIT “The Last Breath effectively strands you in the rusted vessel on the sea bed, with these characters, as they try and evade their ef(fin)’ deadly captors, and it might just make you savour every gulp of air that bit more.” – Starburst Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) 54% 5/5 EDIT “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is an exhilarating, bone-crunching and heartfelt cinematic spectacle.” – Starburst Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% 5/5 EDIT “Lisa Frankenstein is a wickedly funny, endlessly rewatchable and dead set to be a future cult classic.” – Starburst Mar 1, 2024 Full Review A Disturbance in The Force (2023) 100% 5/5 EDIT “If you can’t embrace something at its worst, how can you love it at its best?” – Starburst Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 10% 3/5 EDIT “All in all, it is a good night out, with a pigeon-saving, people-avoiding, new kind of hero and a finale that plays out like Highlander’s final set piece had it been sponsored by Pepsi!” – Starburst Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Migration (2023) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Migration is a winning choice for the family, and likely to entertain viewers of any age.” – Starburst Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Dagr (2024) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Dagr is a tense, slow-burning, slice of British folk horror.” – Starburst Feb 8, 2024 Full Review V/H/S/94 (2021) 90% EDIT “V/H/S/94 won’t win over found footage detesters but it is a sign that this franchise is not only back on track but on sterling form at that, as the hit rate of the shorts has never been this successful or consistent. ” – Starburst Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023) 83% 4/5 EDIT “[Dawn of the Nugget] does repeat some old hits, but it is a wacky, wild and ever so slightly scary follow-up, that has laughs and tail feather shaking delights over a rather pro-vegan story of trauma, freedom and family. ” – Starburst Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) 33% 4/5 EDIT “Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom refreshingly gives zero F’s and just is what it is, making it a perfect send-off for the DCEU.” – Starburst Dec 27, 2023 Full Review It's a Wonderful Knife (2023) 55% 4/5 EDIT “Kennedy’s generous screenplay is filled with some gruesome moments but also some rather sweet and sour ones, from Capra’s meaning of life musings to the power of governing by fear and the life saving power of finding that kinship you never saw coming.” – Starburst Dec 8, 2023 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% 5/5 EDIT “Minus One shows so many modern blockbusters how it’s done visually but even more so narratively, in a thunderous, profound, and exciting cinema experience that is absolutely not to be missed! ” – Starburst Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 83% 5/5 EDIT “What a horror feast… you’ll want second helpings.” – Starburst Nov 22, 2023 Full Review How To Save The Immortal (2022) 2/5 EDIT “Sadly, some of the elements that keep it going don’t quite save what is an ultimately formulaic romp that will likely only appeal to very young viewers and leave others fidgeting increasingly.” – Starburst Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Retribution (2023) 30% 4/5 EDIT “Of course, you have seen some of this stuff before, but our reliable hero still looks good doing his thing, while there are some slickly-delivered thrills to enjoy...” – Starburst Oct 20, 2023 Full Review V/H/S/85 (2023) 75% 4/5 EDIT “V/H/S/85 is a great, nasty, barmy mixtape of pure '80s chaos that you won't want to skip!” – Starburst Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Inspector Sun (2022) 81% 3/5 EDIT “A good effort overall, though if Inspector Sun returns, hopefully, next time, we’ll stick to the sleuthing rather than the tacked-on monster mashing.” – Starburst Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Expend4bles (2023) 14% 1/5 EDIT “Expend4bles betrays so much of the series’ comforts and pleasures, and the roster of action heavyweights (and their characters) that delivered them, that it was really a project not worth doing in the end.” – Starburst Sep 29, 2023 Full Review The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) 50% 4/5 EDIT “A gothic claustrophobic horror tale that presents us with an animalistic and genuinely scary Dracula, who is brought to aggressive life by Javier Botet.” – Starburst Sep 28, 2023 Full Review No One Will Save You (2023) 83% 5/5 EDIT “No One Will Save You is a close encounter you will welcome, a wild, outstanding, terrifically conceived marriage of big screen popcorn thrill and joyously independent cinema soul...” – Starburst Sep 25, 2023 Full Review
