2/5
Law of the Lawless (1964) Terry Staunton A box-ticking western.

3/5
Three Sundays to Live (1956) David Parkinson The situation seems highly improbable, but screenwriter Brian Clemens creates some credible characters, who are played with conviction by Jane Griffiths, as Moore's plucky girlfriend, and Basil Dignam, as his rule-bending lawyer.

3/5
Primitive London (1965) Jayne Nelson Despite the disconcerting images on display, the film's music is evocative, and watching teenage Mods and Rockers pretending to be cool is amusing.

4/5
Messiah of Evil (1975) Sean McGeady The oblique plot and elliptical editing, necessary to salvage the picture, work in its favour, fostering a nightmare logic that poisons its atmosphere.

The Hand (1960) Jayne Nelson At least the cheesy final few seconds are just about worth the watch - and blessedly, it's only an hour long.

3/5
Showbiz Kids (2020) Steve Morrissey In watchable, straightforward style, Winter, a former child star himself, mixes archive footage with contemporary interviews and gets illuminating and often astonishingly frank responses to his gently probing questions.

Firebreak (2026) Dave Golder An efficient little thriller that won't set your world alight, but provides a few sparks.

Queen of Chess (2026) Jayne Nelson The focus of this fascinating documentary is Judit Polgár, who entered her first chess tournament at the age of six and went on to take the rarefied world of the game by storm, eventually rising to Grandmaster.

State of Fear (2026) David Parkinson Director Pedro Morelli adopts a confrontational style, dotting the action with showy flourishes and drone shots that retreat from ground level to above the skyline. But he also keeps tabs on the human aspect,

Anniversary (2025) Matt Glasby As a portrait of ordinary people pulled apart by politics it is perhaps a little too schematic, but as an illustration of how fascism creeps into all corners of our lives, not with a gun but with a grin, it's essential viewing.

4/5
Cloud (2024) Sean McGeady Kurosawa keeps everything subtly off-kilter throughout, resulting in a morally complex and formally fascinating film that invites scrutiny and rewards patience as it ushers its viewers into Hell.

Apocalypse in the Tropics (2024) Steve Morrissey This remains an important historical primer with more than just local or regional appeal.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Worldbreaker (2025) Dave Golder Some decent acting and cinematography give the film a veneer of respectability, but at heart this is sheer B-movie bobbins.

4/5
The Ceremony (2024) Rosie Fletcher Displacement, past trauma and individual morality come into question in this gorgeous, slow-burn but at times still dizzying treatise on nothing less than life, death and humanity. Tough but worth it.

3/5
Send Help (2026) Emma Simmonds The director gets great value from his leads, with McAdams and O'Brien absolutely launching themselves into their performances as they plumb the depths of human derangement.

4/5
Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Calum Baker American film-maker David Borenstein marshals Talankin's extensive footage, crafting a compact and compelling story with a range of interesting participants.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Redux Redux (2025) Matt Glasby There are some great ideas on show, all set to an agile synth score by Paul Koch, and the film-makers display a genuine desire to try something different.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
King Ivory (2024) James Mottram Writer/director John Swab conjures a gritty authenticity, with drab, grimy Tulsa locales and frenzied, handheld camerawork.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Bone Lake (2024) Dave Golder Bone Lake then spends much of its run-time as a twisty, character-led psychological thriller, before going all-out grindhouse for a blood-soaked, over-the-top final reel and a groan-inducing punchline. T

96 Minutes (2025) Terry Staunton Lin and his co-star Vivian Sung work well together as they strive to save the day, and there's fine support from Lee Lee-zen as Lin's harried superior.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Rabbit Trap (2025) David Parkinson Yet, for all Croot's creepiness and some perturbing excursions into the woods, Chainey puts more effort into the atmospherics than the structure of a story that never quite gets its hooks in.

5/5
The Alabama Solution (2025) Dave Golder While the documentary doesn't claim this is a specifically black-and-white issue, you're left in little doubt that racism is the root of the problem.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Mercy (2026) Patrick Cremona Mercy is best viewed as a taut, competent quickie rather than an insightful treatise on the dangers of AI. On those terms, it mostly hits the right notes.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Emma Simmonds Wuthering Heights is wonderfully flamboyant filmmaking, that will almost certainly provoke pearl-clutching amongst the purists.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Moment of Indiscretion (1957) David Parkinson The film powers along on its visual strengths, as veteran cinematographer James Wilson and camera operator Nicolas Roeg devise some interesting angles and lighting designs to keep things a touch more striking than the period's average crime quickie.
Posted Feb 23, 2026  Edit critic review
2/5
Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Alan Jones Nowhere near as impactful, witty or fresh as the original HP Lovecraft-based cult movie Re-Animator, director Brian Yuzna's gloriously gory sequel sadly ventures more into standard Frankenstein territory.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) Adrian Turner The violent story, including knifings and capital punishment, is remarkably compressed by Boris Ingster's direction. But the star of the show is the expressionistic camerawork of Nicholas Musuraca.

3/5
Vanishing Point (1971) Adrian Turner It has little of Easy Rider's low-budget magic but Newman is suitably charismatic as the driven driver.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Primate (2025) Rosie Fletcher An unashamed B-movie that should delight horror hounds hankering after old-school chills.

3/5
Xeno (2025) Calum Baker Overly familiar themes and storytelling approaches, culminating in a somewhat uninteresting final act, hold the film back, but it powers along well enough on its unforced adolescent sincerity, personified by Wilson's impressive lead performance.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Preparation for the Next Life (2025) Steve Morrissey Meanwhile, the beautiful score by Emile Mosseri signals an admirable and mostly successful determination to swerve overt misery in a clear-eyed look at the immigration experience.

3/5
After the Quake (2025) Jayne Nelson The tales don't necessarily sit well so closely together and some of Murakami's nuance is lost in the adaptation. But it's still curiously comforting to bathe in these lethargic, dreamlike worlds.

2/5
Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox (2024) Jayne Nelson The effects are impressive for the low budget, however, so perhaps this simply needs to be watched with earplugs.

2/5
Into the Wonderwoods (2024) Jayne Nelson While the forest creatures are fun and young children may enjoy all the action, Ultra's mission to destroy the creatures' home has been seen many times in other, better films such as My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke.

Saipan (2025) Jeremy Aspinall Thanks to fabulous performances and a witty, perceptive script that’s more concerned with the game of life than the game itself, this has something for everybody – football fan or not.

We Bury the Dead (2024) Jeremy Aspinall Ridley convinces throughout with a performance that essays both desperation and determination.

5/5
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) Jayne Nelson It's a difficult watch, but a true feat of documentary film-making: a howl of escalating fury captured, with deceptive simplicity, by law-enforcement officers who sadly failed to connect the dots.

5/5
Sirāt (2025) Max Copeman There are breathtakingly cruel bumps in the road and a political backdrop that may feel inelegantly plotted, but such concerns give way to the overall sensory experience - and an existential edge to the survival story.

2/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Sean McGeady Despite its flaws, the 2006 film was rather handsome, but this budget-starved schlock looks like goulash - a rust-coloured slurry of empty frames and weightless monsters.

3/5
Neighborhood Watch (2025) Terry Staunton It's not quite a buddy movie, but the subtlety of the leads' growing relationship adds charm.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Kangaroo (2025) Kevin Harley Weaving in a seamless mix of real, animatronic and - for muscly bruiser "Roger" - CGI kangaroos, Woods's mildly cheering feel-good fable generates just enough gentle charm to soften your cynicism.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
100 Nights of Hero (2025) James Mottram Sadly, for a film about storytelling, it slightly stumbles in execution - its storybook qualities never coming close to, say, The Princess Bride.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
5/5
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Jayne Nelson The result is elegant, sweet and, with its subtle themes of post-Second World War national tensions, surprisingly poignant.

4/5
Sound of Falling (2025) Tom Dawson Accompanied by an ominous sound design and sometimes ghostly camera movements, this mysterious work doesn't ignore the brutal injustices endured or witnessed by its female characters, yet it also conjures up fleeting moments of joy and delight.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review
3/5
Shelter (2026) James Mottram It's a shame that the Bourne-lite plot is underwritten, but the support cast - including Harriet Walter, Bill Nighy, Naomi Ackie and Daniel Mays - are far better than you might normally find in such a bruising action vehicle.
Posted Feb 03, 2026  Edit critic review

The Legend of Ochi (2025) Kevin Harley If the plot and characterisation can seem sketchy and derivative, the tangible aesthetic and vivid world-building are anything but.

2/5
Miracle: The Boys of '80 (2026) James Mottram Aside from entertaining accounts of the tough-nut team coach, Herb Brooks, who died in 2003, directors Max Gershberg and Jake Rogal fail to lift their film above rote recapping.

Tormented (1960) Terry Staunton The film is given a contemporary tone thanks to Albert Glasser's booming jazz score and characters speaking in beat poet slang.

Alice, Darling (2022) Calum Baker Screenwriter Alanna Francis wisely sticks to believable, low-key situations, building a portrait that proves instructive but also, for the most part, dramatically compelling.

House (1985) Alan Jones Director Steve Miner ably steers between broad humour and beastly visitations for tame shock value.
