August 3, 2020
The Vast of Night is a lovingly low-budget, sci-fi mystery helmed by a first-time director. The odds sound stacked against it, but could this be a must-see on Amazon Prime?

Review: The Jesus Rolls (2020)

July 16, 2020
Under the pretence of being a pseudo-sequel to The Big Lebowski, The Jesus Rolls sounds like a good watch. Too bad it's one of the most lecherous and uncomfortable indie films to have graced the screen in years...

Retro Review: Casino (1995)

June 29, 2020
Casino may not be as great as Goodfellas, yet it is still another epic Scorsese crime drama that isn't coy about the destructive nature of sin and greed.

Review: Blood Quantum (2020)

June 17, 2020
Got a Shudder subscription? Blood Quantum is a highly engaging and very entertaining spin on the zombie genre, that is good enough to stand alongside Shaun of the Dead and Train to Busan.

Review: Capone (2020)

May 18, 2020
After his disastrous version of the Fantastic Four, Josh Trank directs a morbidly fascinating biopic which focusses less on Al Capone's infamous crimes and more on his uncontrollable bodily fluids... Worst film of 2020?

Review: Mad Max: Fury Road… Five Years Later!

May 14, 2020
Mad Max: Fury Road remains one of the strongest films to come out of contemporary Hollywood. It's an enthralling action movie from start to finish, and a masterpiece of film making as a craft.
