3.5/5
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Peter Gray If the original was a perfectly aimed dagger, Here I Come is a blood-splattered sledgehammer. Not as precise, but still capable of doing some serious damage.

3.5/5
Same Same but Different (2026) Peter Gray The title may promise similarity, but what the film actually delivers is something refreshingly distinct: a cross-cultural comedy that finds both its laughs and its warmth in the beautiful contradictions of identity.

3/5
Reminders of Him (2026) Peter Gray Predictable? Absolutely. But also heartfelt, occasionally moving, and just sweet enough to earn its place in the growing Hoover-on-screen canon.

4.5/5
Project Hail Mary (2026) Peter Gray The film is thrilling, funny, and unexpectedly moving. It’s the kind of big, imaginative cinema that reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place.

4.5/5
The Plague (2025) Peter Gray The Plague is not an easy watch, but it’s an unforgettable one: a haunting exploration of boyhood, shame, and the terrifying moment when children realise just how much power they hold over one another.

2/5
THE BRIDE! (2026) Peter Gray The Bride! feels like it is at war with itself: determined to subvert expectation, but unsure what to replace it with.

3.5/5
Dolly (2025) Peter Gray This is not polite horror. It’s blood-caked, sun-bleached, and proudly nasty; a love letter to 1970s hicksploitation that howls its influences rather than whispering them.

3/5
Solo Mio (2026) Peter Gray A pleasant romantic comedy that understands its lane and stays in it.

3.5/5
Scream 7 (2026) Peter Gray It is, in many ways, a harmlessly entertaining sequel – self-aware, occasionally indulgent, but undeniably committed to giving audiences a good time.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
The Revenant (2015) Peter Gray The Revenant is not merely a performance, a survival story, or a technical marvel – it is a testament to what fearless, committed filmmaking can achieve.

4.5/5
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Peter Gray It dares to take faith seriously without proselytising. It finds humour and warmth amid austerity. And it recognises that the desire to build a better world – however impossible – is itself a creative act.

4/5
How to Make a Killing (2026) Peter Gray Proves that sometimes the sharpest comedies are the ones delivered with the straightest face
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Peter Gray It’s a reminder of why Elvis mattered – and why, decades on, he still does.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
War Machine (2026) Peter Gray War Machine is big, loud, occasionally ridiculous, and fully aware of it. It’s a high-volume time killer that doesn’t apologise for its influences – it practically flexes them.

3.5/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Peter Gray In restoring the story’s feral energy and erotic charge, Fennell reminds us that classics endure not because they remain frozen, but because they can withstand being reimagined.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Whistle (2025) Peter Gray For all its talk of destiny, Whistle ends up feeling preordained in the least exciting way: a familiar echo rather than a scream.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Crime 101 (2026) Peter Gray A sleek exercise in neo-noir, Crime 101 knows exactly how cool it wants to be – and mostly earns it.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Shelter (2026) Peter Gray A solid, watchable, if hardly groundbreaking, entry in the Statham canon.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
We Bury the Dead (2024) Peter Gray While it never fully transcends its genre framework, it is thoughtful enough to feel like more than just another zombie movie – it is a meditation on grief dressed in the trappings of survival horror.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Silenced (2026) Peter Gray Challenges audiences to reconsider how we treat women who speak, and to recognise that true progress begins with ensuring that their voices cannot be silenced.
Posted Feb 02, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Musical (2026) Peter Gray A spiky, messy, occasionally brilliant comedy that points to a director with a distinct voice still finding her footing.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Peter Gray It marks [Paloma] Schneideman as a filmmaker of rare sensitivity, and [Ani] Palmer as a startling new talent we’ll be watching for years to come.

3/5
Hot Water (2026) Peter Gray As a debut, it’s a compelling glimpse of a filmmaker with a distinctive voice, even if the journey itself occasionally feels more interesting than the place it’s headed.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Union County (2026) Peter Gray Could have been another familiar tale of addiction and despair, but what unfolds instead is something far more tender, searching, and quietly hopeful
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Night Nurse (2026) Peter Gray As it stands, however, Night Nurse feels like a tantalizing misfire: a film that looks and sounds seductive but too often moves at a crawl, mistaking slowness for depth.

5/5
Josephine (2026) Peter Gray Josephine is not an easy watch, but it is a necessary one; A shattering, compassionate, and profoundly unsettling exploration of how violence reverberates long after the act itself is over.

4/5
Run Amok (2026) Peter Gray A tender, unconventional, and deeply humane piece of art that honors the voices of those most often sidelined in conversations about tragedy
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Cold Storage (2026) Peter Gray Gross, goofy, and gleefully unhinged, Cold Storage is exactly what it promises to be.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Send Help (2026) Peter Gray Bold, unsettling, and wickedly funny, Send Help stands as one of Raimi’s most provocative works in years.

3.5/5
Bedford Park (2026) Peter Gray Heartbreaking, beautifully acted, and deeply personal.

3.5/5
The Wrecking Crew (2026) Peter Gray It knows the formula it’s working with and embraces it wholeheartedly, delivering bruising action, sharp chemistry, and a playful swagger that makes the journey worthwhile – even if you’ve seen the road before.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Secret Agent (2025) Peter Gray The Secret Agent stands as one of the year’s most vital films: a work that pulses with anger, empathy and cinematic ambition, insisting that the past is never past, and that looking away is not an option.

3.5/5
Primate (2025) Peter Gray Director Johannes Roberts understands the assignment with almost admirable single-mindedness with Primate.

3.5/5
Blue Moon (2025) Peter Gray For those willing to lean into its rhythms, Blue Moon is richly rewarding. And for Hawke, it stands as a career-defining reminder of what happens when an actor fully surrenders to a role – not to impress, but to tell the truth.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Mercy (2026) Peter Gray It plays like a film that can’t decide whether it fears technology, worships it, or just wants to use it as a convenient set of shiny props.
Posted Jan 22, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Peter Gray In the end, Marty Supreme is a thrilling, messy, exhausting ride – a film about belief as both weapon and liability.
Posted Jan 20, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Rip (2026) Peter Gray Despite its streaming-service gloss, this is one of Netflix’s most confidently cinematic thrillers in recent memory: tense, bruising, and unapologetically adult.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Peter Gray A quietly devastating triumph, a film that proves how little spectacle is needed when moral tension, lived experience, and cinematic restraint are in perfect alignment.

4.5/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Peter Gray It’s torturous and harrowingly beautiful in equal measure, a film that will leave audiences stunned, unsettled, and ultimately in awe.

3/5
Grow (2025) Peter Gray It turns out pumpkins have been waiting patiently for their cinematic moment. Grow gives it to them, and to us, with warmth, humour, and a surprising amount of heart.

5/5
Hamnet (2025) Peter Gray Hamnet is a film about carrying love differently after loss: how it changes shape, how it finds new vessels, how it refuses to disappear. It doesn’t ask to be admired so much as felt. And once it settles inside you, it doesn’t leave.
Posted Jan 11, 2026  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Peter Gray Like the song that gives it its name, it understands that happiness and sorrow often harmonise, whether we’re ready for them to or not.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Anaconda (2025) Peter Gray What makes Anaconda work – far more than it has any right to – is its razor-sharp meta self-awareness.

4/5
Rental Family (2025) Peter Gray A beautiful, non-judgmental dramedy, Rental Family honours the service at its core.
Posted Dec 22, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Housemaid (2025) Peter Gray For the consuming 130 minutes (a running time that surprisingly flies by) of Sweeney and Seyfried’s game of upstairs-downstairs, you’d be hard pressed to find a more entertaining oeuvre.
Posted Dec 22, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The History of Sound (2025) Peter Gray It’s a beautiful film, without question, but it’s also one that’s quite deliberate in how it moves with purpose.
Posted Dec 17, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
New Fear's Eve (2023) Peter Gray Sick and self-aware, if horror fans are interested in a reprieve from the depths of the genre, it’s possible that this could be just what The Doctor ordered.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
1/5
Ella McCay (2025) Peter Gray Don’t let all the names on the promotional material lull you into a false sense of security, Ella McCay is someone you should stay far away from.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Peter Gray Updates its concept with a sense of fun and ferocity, proving itself a remake that respects its original spirit without being bound to it.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Peter Gray Much of what takes place across the film’s 104 minutes feels telegraphed, a bit cheap and, sadly, resigned for a more 12-year-old mind-frame.
