Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
(2026)
|
Anthony O'Connor
|
… if you’re looking for a compelling (albeit not terribly scary) little flick with some great performances, funny gore gags and two extremely likable leads, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come will fit the bill nicely.

Hoppers
(2026)
|
Cain Noble-Davies
|
It’s the best original story Pixar has told in years, and even in light of the studio’s plans to shift more towards a ‘something for everybody, nothing for no-one’ approach going forward, this is still an adventure worth hopping into.
