★★★★ Grounded by a star-making performance by Aaron Pierre, Jeremy Saulnier's slow burn indictment of corrupt small town America is an intelligent and tense action thriller.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
★★★ After an soulless opening, Tim Burton's long awaited "Beetlejuice" sequel springs back from the dead with a much improved second half loaded with fittingly ghoulish gags.
Blink Twice (2024)
★★★★1/2 Zoë Kravitz's bold and provocative debut feature is a glossy satire that turns gender politics into a darkly comedic and seriously effective thriller
Alien: Romulus (2024)
★★★★ Fede Álvarez's atmospheric "Alien" revamp manages to pay homage to every entry in the beloved horror franchise, whilst injected some fresh scares and ideas of its own.
Trap (2024)
★★1/2 Once highly touted, the prolific M. Night Shyamalan continues to frustrate as he once again fails to deliver on his latest original and initially promising story.
Kneecap (2024)
★★★★ The provocative Irish language rap group "Kneecap" have their origins explored in this fittingly hilariously and unrestrained tale of cultural preservation and freedom of speech
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
★★★ The irreverent superhero finally arrives in the increasingly desperate MCU, and the character's unfiltered humour just about makes up for the lack of stakes or genuine peril.
Longlegs (2024)
★★★★ Nicolas Cage revels in his role as satanic serial killer Longlegs in Osgood Perkins' unsettling and atmospheric horror thriller
Kinds of Kindness (2024)
★★★ Jesse Plemons excels in Yorgos Lanthimos' comedically absurd, but ultimately disjointed, anthological fable of sex and relationships
Twisters (2024)
★★★1/2 The nostalgic summer spectacle is elevated by Glen Powell's undeniable charisma but despite a series of increasingly gripping set-pieces, it never fully blew me away
