3/5
Primate (2025) Rosie Fletcher An unashamed B-movie that should delight horror hounds hankering after old-school chills.

3/5
Xeno (2025) Calum Baker Overly familiar themes and storytelling approaches, culminating in a somewhat uninteresting final act, hold the film back, but it powers along well enough on its unforced adolescent sincerity, personified by Wilson's impressive lead performance.

3/5
Preparation for the Next Life (2025) Steve Morrissey Meanwhile, the beautiful score by Emile Mosseri signals an admirable and mostly successful determination to swerve overt misery in a clear-eyed look at the immigration experience.

3/5
After the Quake (2025) Jayne Nelson The tales don't necessarily sit well so closely together and some of Murakami's nuance is lost in the adaptation. But it's still curiously comforting to bathe in these lethargic, dreamlike worlds.

2/5
Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox (2024) Jayne Nelson The effects are impressive for the low budget, however, so perhaps this simply needs to be watched with earplugs.

Into the Wonderwoods (2024) Jayne Nelson While the forest creatures are fun and young children may enjoy all the action, Ultra's mission to destroy the creatures' home has been seen many times in other, better films such as My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke.

Saipan (2025) Jeremy Aspinall Thanks to fabulous performances and a witty, perceptive script that’s more concerned with the game of life than the game itself, this has something for everybody – football fan or not.

We Bury the Dead (2024) Jeremy Aspinall Ridley convinces throughout with a performance that essays both desperation and determination.

5/5
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Jayne Nelson It's a difficult watch, but a true feat of documentary film-making: a howl of escalating fury captured, with deceptive simplicity, by law-enforcement officers who sadly failed to connect the dots.

5/5
Sirāt (2025) Max Copeman There are breathtakingly cruel bumps in the road and a political backdrop that may feel inelegantly plotted, but such concerns give way to the overall sensory experience - and an existential edge to the survival story.

2/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Sean McGeady Despite its flaws, the 2006 film was rather handsome, but this budget-starved schlock looks like goulash - a rust-coloured slurry of empty frames and weightless monsters.

3/5
Neighborhood Watch (2025) Terry Staunton It's not quite a buddy movie, but the subtlety of the leads' growing relationship adds charm.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Kangaroo (2025) Kevin Harley Weaving in a seamless mix of real, animatronic and - for muscly bruiser "Roger" - CGI kangaroos, Woods's mildly cheering feel-good fable generates just enough gentle charm to soften your cynicism.

3/5
100 Nights of Hero (2025) James Mottram Sadly, for a film about storytelling, it slightly stumbles in execution - its storybook qualities never coming close to, say, The Princess Bride.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Jayne Nelson The result is elegant, sweet and, with its subtle themes of post-Second World War national tensions, surprisingly poignant.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Sound of Falling (2025) Tom Dawson Accompanied by an ominous sound design and sometimes ghostly camera movements, this mysterious work doesn't ignore the brutal injustices endured or witnessed by its female characters, yet it also conjures up fleeting moments of joy and delight.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Shelter (2026) James Mottram It's a shame that the Bourne-lite plot is underwritten, but the support cast - including Harriet Walter, Bill Nighy, Naomi Ackie and Daniel Mays - are far better than you might normally find in such a bruising action vehicle.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
The Legend of Ochi (2025) Kevin Harley If the plot and characterisation can seem sketchy and derivative, the tangible aesthetic and vivid world-building are anything but.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Miracle: The Boys of '80 (2026) James Mottram Aside from entertaining accounts of the tough-nut team coach, Herb Brooks, who died in 2003, directors Max Gershberg and Jake Rogal fail to lift their film above rote recapping.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Tormented (1960) Terry Staunton The film is given a contemporary tone thanks to Albert Glasser's booming jazz score and characters speaking in beat poet slang.

3/5
Alice, Darling (2022) Calum Baker Screenwriter Alanna Francis wisely sticks to believable, low-key situations, building a portrait that proves instructive but also, for the most part, dramatically compelling.

2/5
House (1985) Alan Jones Director Steve Miner ably steers between broad humour and beastly visitations for tame shock value.

2/5
My Bloody Valentine (1981) Jeremy Aspinall This 1981 slasher horror was one of a slew of derivative movies that followed in the wake of John Carpenter's Halloween... But the bland characters and sub-par scares and gore just go to show how good Carpenter's 1978 landmark really is.

3/5
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Rosie Fletcher At least it seems like the cast had fun. Bautista and Momoa have good chemistry and both get to do some outrageous scraps and stunts.

2/5
North (1994) Tom Hutchinson It's an interesting idea, clumsily carried through by Reiner.

4/5
Redes (1936) Calum Baker The film's two most rousing appeals to working-class unity couldn't be more different in style: one a fiery, direct public speech, the other a wordless scene of boats advancing across the bay in a powerful display of dissent.

3/5
Dreamers (2025) James Mottram Although the abrupt flashbacks to Isio's past don't quite work, coming across as slightly amateurish, Gharoro-Akpojotor convincingly tells a tale of quiet resilience.

3/5
The Rip (2026) Matt Glasby All in all, it’s quite a ride, yet the more things it tries to do, the less well it does them. As an adrenalised Friday night action flick it ticks all the right boxes, but it also feels like less than the sum of its – admittedly impressive – parts.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Mother (2025) James Mottram A way of bringing the story into the present, perhaps, but it feels messy. Fortunately, Rapace brings great focus, commitment and swagger to her performance at the centre of a film seemingly designed to polarise.

3/5
Stitch Head (2025) Jayne Nelson The film's community of grotesque characters is enjoyably bonkers, with exquisitely timed slapstick antics the order of the day.

3/5
Twinless (2025) Steve Morrissey Writer Sweeney expertly captures the amusing inanity of everyday conversation, and also suggests there might be an unlikely romance brewing, making this one for mopey Gen Z-ers and anyone who likes their comedy on the darker side of funny.

Beast of War (2025) Jayne Nelson If you're willing to suspend your disbelief and dive into its pool of genre tropes, you'll find this Beast has a powerful bite.

4/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Terry Staunton Williams, the beating human heart of the first instalment in the trilogy, has less to do this time around, although his anxious reactions to the Jimmies’ relentless mayhem still impress as the film’s moral compass of sorts.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Bulk (2025) Terry Staunton Bulk is less about structured narrative and more a playful exercise in bafflement and absurdity that risks infuriating as many viewers as it entertains.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Ick (2024) Calum Baker It is, in essence, a 2020s update of classic B-fare such as The Blob, with satirical allusions to Covid-19 dotted around for good measure. Taken on those terms, the low-budget mayhem works rather well.
Posted Jan 21, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
& Sons (2025) James Mottram Staunton and Nighy are spellbinding in their scenes together, but there's an unfortunate cartoonish streak to the film, typified by Dominic West's unctuous Hollywood exec, who is using Richard to get the rights to one of Andrew's books.

Hamlet (2025) James Mottram Robust turns by Ahmed and Morfydd Clark ,as the maudlin Ophelia, bring this version to life.

3/5
Moss & Freud (2025) James Mottram Writer/director James Lucas keeps things tasteful, swerving any suggestions of age-inappropriate frisson, but the fact that Moss is an executive producer on the film points to a safe approach in its storytelling.

3/5
Heel (2025) James Mottram The final act doesn't quite pay off, with characters' motives left frustratingly opaque, but the film is blessed with cast-iron performances, especially from Graham and Boon.

4/5
Bad Apples (2025) James Mottram The film becomes a power play between teacher, student and, ultimately, the PTA committee. Asking just how far you'd go for your child's education, this is howlingly funny.

She Rides Shotgun (2025) Jayne Nelson Despite its narrative flaws, this gritty road movie is brilliantly anchored by a luminous performance from its child star.

People We Meet on Vacation (2026) Dave Golder As far as by-the-numbers fluff goes, it's glossy, well-crafted and witty, practically revelling in its predictability.

Through the Night (2023) Alex Berry Unsettling in both tone and subject matter, the film offers a fascinating dual character study that proves quietly impactful.

Song Sung Blue (2025) Terry Staunton Jackman and Hudson are so on their game, so engaged in making Mike and Claire believable that only stone-hearted cynics won’t end up loving them.

3/5
Bite the Bullet (1975) Adrian Turner The picture is perhaps too long, with too many trough-stops for discourses about machismo and the motives of the competitors. But on the hoof it's an excellent adventure with a splendid cast and some spectacular turn-of-the-20th-century settings.

Out of the Past (1947) Peter Freedman Unfairly underrated for many years, this is in fact a stylish, atmospheric, highly watchable and strongly recommended movie from director Jacques Tourneur.

Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) Tom Hutchinson What was topical for the time has inevitably dated, but director Anatole Litvak can still chill us with his depiction of the crawling swastika.

2/5
Circumstantial Evidence (1952) David Parkinson The solution is rather obvious, but screenwriter Allan MacKinnon compellingly frames the narrative using another case, as Holt's judge father (Frederick Leister) oversees a similar incident involving unreliable evidence.

4/5
Strongroom (1962) Tom Dawson The race-against-time story grips because the credibly "ordinary" characters face genuine life-or-death consequences for their actions, and the film's conclusion has a surprising toughness.

5/5
Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) Calum Baker The overriding sensation here is of celebration as Wiseman quietly traces the long process that results in something as profoundly beautiful and fleeting as a great plate of food.
