4/5
The Reckoning (2021)
A welcome return to the horror fold, Neil Marshall once more proves himself to be a talented and articulate filmmaker.

The Call (2020)
The Call is ultimately a derivative horror film with a half baked 80's setting and a narrative that struggles to maintain much in the way of originality and surprise.

3/5
The Broken Hearts Gallery (2020)
Falls into the fast food section of film; it's pleasant and enjoyable enough when consumed, but lacks that real depth that leaves you fully satisfied.

Savage (2019)
A remarkable feature debut, Sam Kelly demonstrates a keen appetite for destruction with his no-holds barred portrait of a very violent man.

The Blackout: Invasion Earth (2019)
A film of two halves, the first being more narrative and character driven, the second, all-out action, The Blackout is an exciting, if not fully realised invasion story.

2/5
Jiu Jitsu (2020)
A bland and confusing film that plays against its obvious fun factors, creating a rather dull action movie that won't stick in your memory for long.

4/5
Archenemy (2020)
Mortimer repackages superhero films of yesteryear into an intellectual and thoroughly modern fare; Archenemy is the perfect punk-rock palette cleanser to the Marvel norm.

The intricate and emotional beats are played out beautifully on screen by Jack O'Connell and Laura Dern.

The Bloodhound (2020)
Atmospheric and unsettling, The Bloodhound is an impressively stylish and intellectual debut that weaves a tangled web of lies, half-truths, and intrigue.

Dave Not Coming Back (2020)
The real-life stakes serve to send the blood pressure sky-high and, despite knowing how the tale ends, you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat.

Anything for Jackson (2020)
A film filled with genuine surprises and unexpected swerves, Anything for Jackson is a wonderful slice of supernatural insanity.

Spring (2015)
Spring is an incredible haunting and romantic tale that will make the heart ache in the way that only those really special films can manage.

The Twentieth Century (2020)
The Twentieth Century perfectly captures the spirit of the bizarre, embraces it, and thus creates a film that you'll likely never forget.

4/5
Endless (2020)
Granted, the story isn't the most original, most of it playing as a young adult version of Ghost, but it's in its familiarities that it finds its strengths.

4/5
Intimate, passionate, and unexpectedly harrowing, You Cannot Kill David Arquette offers a peek behind the curtain to both an enigmatic man and a misunderstood sport.

Spree (2020)
Spree explores our interactions with technology within the intriguing confines of the found-footage format. Scream meets American Psycho slasher for the cyber age.

Ropes (Cuerdas) (2020)
Ropes is a cleverly crafted suspense-fuelled thriller, elevated by the fantastic central performance from Terrasa, this film is the perfect successor to Cujo.

3/5
Lingering (2020)
Peppered with good intent and some strong, though not fully formed, concepts, Lingering bites off much more than it can chew - the result - a stylish, but slightly limp film.

Gags the Clown (2018)
A watchable, but unengaging film that passes the time without being fully satisfying.
Posted Nov 9, 2020

2/5
Rogue (2020)
Not the high stakes fun of Crawl nor the cat & mouse thrills of The Ghost and the Darkness,Rogue is instead cookie cutter and forgettable action thriller.

3/5
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
As a modern audience it's hard to see these deaths as anything but silly, but there is at least still a fun factor that keeps the viewer watching.

A Christmas Gift from Bob (2020)
Full of feel-good feline festive cheer A Christmas Gift from Bob is a touching and fitting tribute to the animal that touched the hearts of so many.

Spell (2020)
An under-cooked and repetitive script results in a frustrating and suspense-free viewing, making Spell a rather dull prospect.

4/5
Blood from Stone (2020)
A different approach to the vampire story, Blood From Stone offers a distinct new take that is sure to be a hit with fans of Near Dark and Anne Rice.

Vicious Fun (2020)
Vicious Fun is exactly what the title suggests. Complete with neon-soaked nostalgia and stellar performances, it makes for an exhilarating and enticing throwback.

The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw (2020)
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw offers a lot of intriguing prospects and is held up by solid performances from all involved.

Tailgate (Bumperkleef) (2019)
Daytime suburbia has never been more terrifying, sit down, strap in, and prepare for the most stressful journey of your cinematic life.

3/5
Butchers (2021)
Butchers has some interesting new ideas and pushes the genre into some exciting directions. It tries hard to rise above its genre cliches, but doesn't quite succeed.

4/5
Breeder (2020)
With an abundance of ideas, Breeder has plenty of substance for the thinkers, whilst at the same time keeping grisly enough for the bloodthirsty.

Babysitter Must Die (2020)
A well made film that seems unclear of the direction it wants to go in, not pushing far enough into either comedy or horror, leaving the viewer confused about its intentions.
Posted Oct 28, 2020

2/5
Heckle (2019)
A film with somewhat of an identity crisis, Heckle has some good ideas buried within, it just needed a little more focus to fully flesh them out.

Sit back, turn the lights off, and witness the debut of a very exciting new voice.

3/5
Passably entertaining as a slice of generic slasher action, but whether it will get the third film it so desperately wants, and sets up, remains to be seen.

Scavenger (Carroña) (2020)
Seventy-three minutes of brutality, Scavenger is an ill thought out entry into the overloaded rape-revenge repository.

3/5
Origin Unknown (Sin origen) (2020)
Not so much a fresh twist as it is a remix of the vampire genre. Origin Unknown will delight genre fans of all shapes, sizes, and tastes.

Alien on Stage (2020)
An uplifting, charming, and thoroughly enjoyable documentary that will make you fall in love with Alien and the theatre all over again.

Dune Drifter (2020)
A technically strong and engaging project, Price proves once again that you don't need a lot of money, or crew, to create a film that can look ten times its cost.

Embryo (2020)
Patricio Valladares returns to his Chilean roots with an extraterrestrial anthology film that has strong echoes of Return of the Living Dead 3.

The Craft: Legacy (2020)
A solidly made, if not rather generically bland, tale of witchcraft and teen angst for Generation Z.

Skylines (2020)
Potentially the strongest of the three, with Skylin3s, Liam O'Donnell lets his geek flag fly, and creates a thoroughly entertaining intergalactic action epic.

Caveat (2020)
Caveat takes the viewer on a dark and delightfully enigmatic trip down the rabbit-hole in this effectively creepy and atmospheric tale.

Honeydew (2020)
A thoughtful and deliberate film that, whilst having echoes of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Midsommar, is very much its own macabre tale.

The Stylist (2020)
Inherently feminine, gorgeously shot and styled, with killer performances, sticky scalping's, and costumes to die for, 'The Stylist' is one wickedly crafted film.

Cordelia (2019)
A deviously dark psychological thriller, Cordelia will get under your skin, unsettle, seduce, and engross, all in equal measure.
