Mercy (2026) 23% 3/5 EDIT “It’s almost designed to be totally forgotten within in a month, but it’s brisk and action-packed and, despite the fact that its hero is strapped to a chair for much of its runtime, the film itself never sits still.” – Starburst Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 5/5 EDIT “The Bone Temple confounds and surpasses expectations. ” – Starburst Jan 17, 2026 Full Review The Elixir (2025) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Once it gets going, The Elixir never lets up the pace, powering along through a sea of guts and gore with some hugely imaginative and genuinely spectacular high octane sequences even as it rarely loses sight of the character beats set up in the first act.” – Starburst Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Scurry (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Scurry suggests that Luke Sparke’s career is still a work-in-progress... when he can marry a really great script to his already extraordinary visual sensibilities, he’s likely to finally be recognised as an exciting and dynamic talent in genre filmmaking.” – Starburst Oct 14, 2025 Full Review The Occupant (2025) 94% 3/5 EDIT “It’s powerful and its striking – it’s a hugely good-looking film – but there are times where it asks too many questions it doesn’t feel compelled to answer. ” – Starburst Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “It’s occasionally uneasy viewing but it’s also raw, touching and deeply human, marrying sometimes shocking body horror to a heart-wrenching story of love gone off the rails and then finding its way back in unimaginable circumstances.” – Starburst Aug 16, 2025 Full Review War of the Worlds (2025) 4% 1/5 EDIT “War of the Worlds is a tortuous, endless 90 minutes of glitchy video clips, military stock footage, glad-to-be-doing-something actors running through the street waving a camera in front of their faces and pretending to be scared.” – Starburst Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Zodiac (2007) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Zodiac is a heavily dialogue-driven affair with endless scenes of powerful men arguing in offices. Fincher brings it all to the screen with his trademark attention to detail and tireless quest for truth and verisimilitude.” – Starburst Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “It’s hard not to admire Gunn for throwing caution to the wind and putting his vision for Superman on the screen in the 21st century in big, bright, bold primary colours.” – Starburst Jul 14, 2025 Full Review The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) 91% 5/5 EDIT “The lead characters are a little stodgy and Donlevy is about as far away from the modern idea of a film hero as it’s possible to get, but this is still a gritty, surprisingly creepy and graphic story.” – Starburst Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Osiris (2025) 50% 3/5 EDIT “If you’re in the mood for some utterly undemanding blazing gun-crazed nonsense, then Osiris will hit your sweet spot.” – Starburst Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 4/5 EDIT “It’s hard not to be swept up by the heady adrenaline rush of the slew of close encounters of the snapping jawed kind that punctuate the film once the sludgy first act is out of the way. ” – Starburst Jul 3, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a raw, biting film that pulls no punches in its depiction of this desperate, ugly world and the terrible dangers and creatures that now inhabit it.” – Starburst Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Fountain of Youth (2025) 35% 3/5 EDIT “Ritchie handles it all with great flair and gusto, and he’s obviously having a good time working well outside his usual cinematic wheelhouse.” – Starburst Jun 2, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Perhaps a few bucks could have been diverted from the CGI fund and directed into a sharper, less derivative and lifeless script that paid a bit more respect to its source material.” – Starburst Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “First-time director/writer Drew Hancock delivers an impressive and thrilling calling card with Companion.” – Starburst Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Werewolves (2024) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Werewolves is fun in an ‘Honestly, I don’t mind wasting my time’ sort of way, but ultimately, it’s utter twaddle...” – Starburst Dec 26, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 4/5 EDIT “It’s bonkers, but in a very good way, indeed.” – Starburst Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Black Cab (2024) 47% 4/5 EDIT “Black Cab provides a surprisingly tense ride… but in future, we’ll probably stick to Ubers.” – Starburst Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Don't Move (2024) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Don’t Move is a decent, unassuming and utterly unpretentious little thriller perfect for those nights when you really can’t be bothered to engage your brain and just fancy something that will keep you entertained for 90 minutes or so.” – Starburst Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Heretic is an intelligent, thought-provoking and refreshingly unshowy horror film.” – Starburst Nov 7, 2024 Full Review The Radleys (2024) 69% 2/5 EDIT “Euros Lyn, whose TV work is usually fast, vibrant and lively, doesn't seem to be able to get a handle On this at all, but he's not helped by an anaemic, joyless script that's managed to suck all the life out of Matt Haig's sprightly novel. ” – Starburst Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Salem's Lot (2024) 46% 4/5 EDIT “Salem’s Lot as a whole is better for having no pretensions, no hidden meanings, and no purpose other than to present a spooky horror story about mad-eyed vampires on the rampage.” – Starburst Oct 18, 2024 Full Review The Final Pact (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Compelling performances are supported by Rabbath’s assured, subtle direction that belies the film’s tiny budget and whilst The Final Pact won’t appeal to everyone, it’s an interesting, well-crafted and highly-moral fable...” – Starburst Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Its morality is generally pretty grey, but ultimately, this is a film about manipulation, memory and the monstrous ways human beings can treat one another. ” – Starburst Aug 28, 2024 Full Review
