There are some interesting ideas and concerns raised in AfrAId, but they're all half-baked, resulting in a movie that ironically resembles a piece of unstable tech rushed out to consumers when it's badly in need of an upgrade. Review
It's a genuinely heartfelt piece of romantic filmmaking that skilfully balances the epic with the intimate. Review
We're never explicitly told that Sophie is pregnant, but there are plenty of clues that suggest that's the case, from the way Nolan pats her belly at one point to the repeated sonic motif of what sounds a lot like an ultrasound on the soundtrack. Review
Suffice to say they're both gifted roles that allow them to display their range, often on the turn of a phrase, charming one moment, terrifying the next, charismatic throughout. Review
While obfuscating the details of what exactly is afoot in its sinister milieu, Cuckoo is a lot of fun, especially for devotees of Euro-horror. Review
SkarsgÄrd looks bored throughout, and in several scenes his usually serviceable American accent slips completely as though he can't be arsed concealing his distinctive Swedish brogue. Review
Blink Twice is a classic case of a rough around the edges directorial debut. Review
Devino and Yohe presumably collaborated on an equal basis throughout the production, but there's such a gulf in quality between the first and second halves of their film that it plays like both halves were made by different filmmakers... Review
The result is a film that passively documents a horrible little man on his way to becoming a horrible big man with very little to stop him along the way. Donner just doesn't seem to realise how dark and depressing this material really is. Review
Despite its more solemn tone, Who Saw Her Die? is unmistakably a giallo. Review
Kane captures the ethereal emptiness of Los Angeles in a way not seen in horror cinema since Thom Eberhardt's unsettling supernatural thriller Sole Survivor... Review
Where Hostile Dimensions falls down is ironically not in the FX or visual departments, as you might expect, but in its writing. The characters never quite feel real, often reacting to terrifying and bizarre scenarios in far too casual a manner. Review
But perhaps the biggest problem here is how the comedy is integrated. It only really becomes a comedy in the splatstick sequences. Review
In space no one can hear you scream, but your fellow cinemagoers might hear you snore during Romulus. Review
Hall doesn't simply use her dialogue to dole out plot points, with much of the storytelling coming from her actors' faces, their expressions often contradicting their words. Review
Evoking prior works of American fiction isn't enough to make Skincare stand on its own, and we're left to settle for surface thrills as the film never quite explores its characters or themes with enough depth to make it anything more than a mildly entertaining time-passer. Review
There simply isn't enough to keep horror fans engaged, and with its preference for lore over gore, The Curse Begins is a bit of a bore. Review
The Instigators' biggest problem is its complete lack of stakes. Neither of the two protagonists seem to care whether they get caught or killed. Review
By the end of Tuesday's exasperating two-hour run time you might be yearning for a release from this mortal coil yourself. Review
What really dogs Trap's second half is the amount of plot contrivances that just don't hold up to scrutiny. Review
Good One is a patient drama whose tension sneaks up on you. Review
It's frustrating that Consumed fluffs its lines in this regard as there's a more interesting film to be mined from the idea of a sick person being targeted by an entity specifically because of their affliction. Review
The movie develops into a well-meaning look at a young man trying to make the most of his life but it's rather pedestrian in how it conveys this. Review
Inheritance tells its story with machine-tooled precision, but it's recognisably human in its emotional messiness. Wilson, James and Garces have left an impressive calling card with this zippy but sensitive tale of familial strife. Review
