Resident Evil Review – Finally an Itchy Tasty Adaptation ★★★★

I arrived more than an hour early to The Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin, where the Irish premiere of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil was being held. Choosing to pass the time in the cafe, I looked idly around. The light is low here; low enough to cast the faces of my fellow cafe-goers in shadowy hues. […]

Coyote Vs Acme: A Fantastic Feat for Fan Campaigns ★★★★.5

As a child of the internet and fan of many properties with a vocal internet presence (comic books, Star Trek, Star Wars, Videogames, The Witcher, and of course Nine Inch Nails), I have seen the best, and absolute worst of fan campaigns. While many will insist that fan campaigns are wrought out of passion alone, […]

Faces of Death Review – A Meta Reimagining of the 1970s Cult Classic ★★★

Spoilers for the movie (and Scream 4) The other day I saw a TikTok where someone said “all roads of modern horror lead back to Scream 4”. This aphorism can be said about Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei’s 2026 reimagining of the 70s cult classic Faces of Death. The original is a sort of documentary […]

Bad Apples Review: Wickedly Funny, Uncomfortably Brilliant ★★★★★

This sick fantasy of what life would be like if you could simply make your biggest problem disappear, is a gut-punchingly accurate depiction of the horrors of primary teaching right from the jump. Saoirse Ronan plays a total blinder as Maria, a teacher pushed to her absolute breaking point by a truly terrifying pupil, zero […]

Leviticus Review: Too Close to Its Influences to Carve Its Own Path ★★★½

The film doesn’t shy away from this influence and in fact sets out its stall early by essentially picking up where It Follows left off – a swimming pool. I worked in swimming pools for almost ten years and even I still find them creepy and in this grimy and run down location we see a young […]

The Whisper Man Review: Not Worth Shouting About ★★★

What do you get when you put Adam Scott, Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton in a straight-to-streaming movie together? Plenty of highs but just as many lows! Netflix have released The Whisper Man (based on a novel of the same name) just in time for a haunting pre-Halloween tale with Adam Scott […]

The Death of Robin Hood Review: Hugh Jackman Gets Lost in the Legend ★★★

“It’s not letting go, it’s just no longer holding on.” The Death of Robin Hood is seemingly a 2026 release that has been completely forgotten by many, and now recent events have led audiences to say “No… not that one.” Early June release in the U.S.; this film was already raising eyebrows with its UK […]

Lady Review: Samuel Abrahams’ Eccentric and Endearing Debut ★★★★

Lady by Samuel Abrahams is certainly a film you don’t want to miss, mainly because it is absolutely bonkers. While the film embraces its eccentricity and unpredictability, there is also a surprisingly tender story underneath it all. The story follows Isabella (Sian Clifford), a lady who lives on an estate and invites Sam (Laurence Kynaston), […]

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma Review: If It Gets Too Real, You Can Always Turn It Off ★★★★

What scares us? What turns us on? Can pleasure and pain occupy the same space? And, ultimately, what does it take to make us actually feel something? Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is fascinated by these questions, treating sex and horror as two expressions of the same visceral impulse. It is […]

The End of Oak Street Review- Finding the Joy in Going to the Movies ★★★★

In 2009, amid the messy breakdown of my parents’ marriage, my father took me to the cinema to see The Land of the Lost, a time travelling dinosaur epic, starring Anna Friel and Will Ferrell. For almost two hours, my father and I sat silently in that dark room, our fingers still greasy from the […]
