FILM REVIEWS

Hallow Road
Anvari's best feature since 'Under the Shadow'

Final Destination: Bloodlines
A reinvigoration rather than a revolution

The Surfer
Absolutely mad but weirdly watchable

Frewaka
An unsettling and confronting Irish folk horror

Dead Mail
An intriguing & grungy 80s crime thriller

Until Dawn
A popcorn'n'gore offering

Sinners
A surreal trip to the Deep South worth taking

Up Close / Blood Waters
Short film reviews

Drop
A stylish homage to the Hitchcockian thriller

825 Forest Road
An uninspired attempt at conventional horror storytelling

The Rule of Jenny Pen
An intriguing blend of black comedy and psychological horror

Death of a Unicorn
Surprisingly lightweight and sappy for an A24 production

The Woman in the Yard
Yet another divisive piece of elevated horror from a studio source

Bloody Axe Wound
A bit of a bloody mess

In the Lost Lands
Only for people missing the days of cheap Conan or Mad Max rip-offs.

Opus
Somewhat pretentious, slightly mad and missing a point

The Monkey
Another superior genre offering from Perkins

Elevation
A familiar but effective apocalyptic sci-fi actioner

Companion
Switched-on social commentary with a full battery and a sick sense of humour

Presence
A heartfelt and poignant take on the classic haunted house tale

Wolf Man
A sadly underwhelming and slightly mawkish take on the classic tale

Werewolves
A satisfying addition to the werewolf movie canon

Nosferatu
A rich and satisfying slice of gothic ham

The Damned
An atmospheric Icelandic folk horror

Out Come the Wolves
Decent but nothing to howl about
