★★★1/2 Geoffrey Rush's retired judge becomes the latest victim of John Lithgow's unhinged care home bully in this claustrophobic and upsetting New Zealand psychological chiller.
The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025)
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"

It’s What’s Inside (2024)
★★★1/2 This surprisingly engaging Netflix sleeper hit is a stylish black comedy that centres around an ingenious modern take on the classic body-swap trope
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
