FILM REVIEWS

Primate
A pulpy animal rampage horror with B movie sensibilities

Return to Silent Hill
Cool creatures but revisit the original instead

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
A smart spin-off from its predecessor

Anaconda
Starts promising, ends tiresome

The Housemaid
Never mind the quality, embrace the daft

Silent Night, Deadly Night
A playful and mostly enjoyable twist on the original concept

The Running Man
Fun but flawed

Sisu: Road to Revenge
Gloriously mad and effortlessly enjoyable

The Pearl Comb / Wake
Two horror shorts worth shouting about

Keeper
Modern folk horror without the sting or chill

Predator: Badlands
A solid space slasher

Shelby Oaks
An undemanding slice of American horror pie

Black Phone 2
A worthy sequel

Vicious
A mixed (but gory) bag

The Man in the White Van
A suspense filled (but somewhat tame) game of cat and mouse

Good Boy
A surprisingly creepy treat

The Drowned
A very watchable phantasmagorical horror

Him
Flawed...but sort of bold and ingenious

The Strangers: Chapter 2
Slightly more bearable than the first

The Holy Boy
A restrained, atmospheric meditation on grief and suffering

Coyotes
Not great, but daft enough to be an amusing late-night diversion

The Long Walk
A couldn’t-be-better adaptation of its source material

The Conjuring: Last Rites
The horror equivalent of a cosy crime story

Strange Frequencies
An inferior but not wholly ineffective remake

The Toxic Avenger
A little bit more than just a pile of radiated sludge
