The Monkey (2025)

★★★1/2 Osgood Perkins abandons the serious tone of the Stephen King short story in favour of a more comedic and off-kilter approach that boasts some unforgettably excessive deaths

Heart Eyes (2025)

★★★ Without breaking new ground in the genre, this Valentine's Day slasher proves to be an entertaining date night movie that effortlessly combines gory kills with cheesy rom-com clichés

Wolf Man (2025)

★★★ Leigh Whannell's psychological interpretation of the classic movie monster provides a fresh perspective, but ultimately falls short due to a lack of scares and originality

Nosferatu (2024)

★★★★1/2 Robert Eggers' gothic fever dream marvellously revives the historic piece of German Expressionism by recapturing its unsettling atmosphere and constant sense of dread

Smile 2 (2024)

★★★1/2 Having been put through an emotional wringer, Naomi Scott delivers one of the most stellar modern horror performances in Parker Finn's superior sequel to the 2022 hit "Smile"

V/H/S/Beyond (2024)

★★★1/2 While it still suffers from the often problematic anthological premise, V/H/S/Beyond boasts the most consistent assortment of shorts the long running franchise has produced to date

Speak No Evil (2024)

★★★1/2 A suitably unhinged James McAvoy relishes his villainous role in this entertaining and surprisingly funny remake of the considerably darker Danish horror from 2022

The Substance (2024)

★★★★ Demi Moore gives a career-best performance in Coralie Fargeat's audaciously disturbing feminist body horror - not one to watch on a full stomach
