Episodes reviewed: 1-6 Gen V is a new 8-part series, coming to Prime Video this Friday and set in the same supe-inhabited world as The Boys, a show that has already racked up three brilliant seasons and is still going strong. Gen V is set in Godolkin University, a prestigious superhero-only college, where students train …
It was only recently that I finally managed to watch the brilliant Boiling Point and now director Philip Barantini follows that up with Accused, a psychological thriller that proved to be even more terrifying than any horror I’ve seen so far this year. We meet Harri (Chaneil Kular) as he says goodbye to his girlfriend …
Another week, another surprise Odeon screening that’s causing uproar and disappointment online. The clues ahead of this one led us to believe that we would be seeing The Dive, which certainly isn’t a horror film. So what was the issue? Well, this was meant to be a ‘Scream Unseen’ screening, usually a chance to get …
The online clues for this week’s Odeon Screen Unseen had many believing that they were going to be treated to an early showing of Blue Beetle. But it turns out that the clues were a little more cryptic than that, and what we got instead was a British dramedy that probably didn’t feature very highly …
Having made a name for themselves with popular YouTube channel RackaRacka, Australian twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou have now moved into feature films. Their debut is Talk to Me, a possession horror that, despite faltering somewhat during its second half, still succeeds in impressing overall. All the best horrors open with a nice little …

Elemental is the latest animated offering from Pixar, delivering a familiar story but with a twist. It’s a love story involving two very different cultures, in this case, fire and water, and how their love helps eventually bring people together to live in harmony. The result though is entertaining but average. Before we get to …
On June 3, 2017, former US Air Force translator Reality Winner (Sydney Sweeney) returned to her home in Augusta, Georgia to find two FBI agents waiting for her with a warrant to search her house. What played out over the next couple of hours was recorded and documented by the FBI and in 2019 that …
The original screenplay for Hypnotic was written by Robert Rodriguez way back in 2002. Had it been released shortly after that time, I’m sure it would have felt a lot fresher and more interesting than it does now. However, aside from the occasional glimmer of something decent, it now feels instead like it borrows from …
After a few months delay, Missing finally arrives in UK cinemas this week, from the team behind one of my favourite movies of 2018, Searching. In Searching we followed a single dad, played by John Cho, as he desperately searched online for his missing daughter. In Missing those roles are reversed as a daughter uses …
The character of Renfield has already been portrayed countless times on stage and screen, adapted from Bram Stoker’s novel where R. M. Renfield is introduced as the devoted servant and familiar of Dracula. This latest portrayal sees Nicholas Hoult taking on the role, with the focus more on his character than that of Dracula, played …
Directed by Ben Affleck, Air is one of those true stories where you already know how its all going to work out in the end, unless of course you’re one of the few people in the world who has never heard of Air Jordans, but it still manages to deliver an enjoyable ride in telling …
When the Tetris movie was first announced I had visions of Pixels, the 2015 movie starring Adam Sandler, and I couldn’t help but imagine it being some kind of cheesy sci-fi action movie with Tetris blocks falling from the sky. Thankfully, we have Taron Egerton instead, in an entertaining, if not somewhat convoluted at times, …
It’s only been just over a year since “requel” movie Scream brilliantly reinvigorated the series after a decade in hibernation. Now we’re back to having numbers (or roman numerals) after the title and we’re leaving Woodsboro behind as we follow the four survivors of the last movie; Sam (Melissa Barrera), Tara (Jenna Ortega), Mindy (Jasmin …
It’s hard to believe but we are now in phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With this, the third Ant-Man movie kicking things off, it’s also the chance to properly introduce us to the next big bad of the MCU, Kang (Jonathan Majors) before we see him go on to tackle the Avengers in …
M. Night Shyamalan is back with Knock at the Cabin, based on Paul Tremblay’s book The Cabin at the End of the World. It’s a story with a simple but effective hook that asks ‘what would you sacrifice to save the world?’, and is best enjoyed having not seen the latest trailer. But I’ll save …
