Superhost (2021) 85% 2/5 EDIT “The film's fun first act suggests we're watching a comedy. After that, the joke is on you, because the film quickly becomes a by-the-numbers rats-in-a-trap horror in which shifting motivations are revealed.” – NME (New Musical Express) Sep 15, 2021 Full Review Kandisha (2020) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Even if you know where this film is going from a quarter of the way through, it's hugely entertaining to watch it play out.” – NME (New Musical Express) Aug 22, 2021 Full Review Vicious Fun (2020) 89% 4/5 EDIT “This sidestep into comedy horror is a bold one - because it's not easy to balance laughs and scares as competently as this - but it all works.” – NME (New Musical Express) Aug 11, 2021 Full Review The Amusement Park (1975) 97% 4/5 EDIT “George Romero's lost thriller meditates on horror's final taboo...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jul 2, 2021 Full Review The Superdeep (2020) 25% 1/5 EDIT “Russian borehole horror is just that - boring and full of plot holes...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jul 2, 2021 Full Review An Unquiet Grave (2020) 70% 1/5 EDIT “This slow two-hander is a dark, doleful watch that is, somewhat ironically, lacking a little magic.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jul 1, 2021 Full Review Satanic Panic (2019) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Satanic Panic is one of the rare films that manages to find the right balance, in that it's a zippily scripted movie with some great dialogue... and buckets and buckets of bloody good fun.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Child's Play (2019) 64% 4/5 EDIT “A daft but hugely enjoyable reboot for the Alexa generation.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 22, 2021 Full Review The Banishing (2020) 65% 1/5 EDIT “Sadly, The Banishing is a film that feels tired of its own existence, blithely going through the motions of a standard 'restless soul' plot that's so predictable and played out...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 17, 2021 Full Review The Power (2021) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Indeed, it feels, at times, like you're watching a harrowing episode of Call The Midwife, but writer/director Corinna Faith does pull it round from an aimless middle to a really satisfying conclusion...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (2018) 96% 5/5 EDIT “With unparalleled access to an archive of material found rotting in the late Sievey's brother's cellar, we see early home videos, Freshies performances, Frank's tours of his beloved hometown...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 17, 2021 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 37% 1/5 EDIT “Forget passing the Bechdel test, this wouldn't even pass a literacy test...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Bring on Billie and Thea's continued journeys - Excellent, Bogus, and all points in between.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Caveat (2020) 81% 2/5 EDIT “You'll probably find yourself losing interest right when the action should be reaching its thrilling climax.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 15, 2021 Full Review The Platform (2019) 81% 4/5 EDIT “A film about the global food crisis reframed in light of your latest ASDA trip...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Ridley Scott's latest makes fan service a priority by answering some long-held questions about the Alien universe...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 9, 2021 Full Review Suicide Squad (2016) 26% 3/5 EDIT “Director David Ayer plays with a rogues gallery of bad guys in this lurid bit of superhero fun.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 9, 2021 Full Review Green Room (2015) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Wound tighter than a top E string, Green Room is not just a great twist on the gory survival thriller - it's a great gory survival thriller full stop.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Kill Your Friends (2015) 24% 4/5 EDIT “It sounds a bit bleak, but it's not, thanks to pacey storytelling from first-time director Owen Harris and a zippy script from John Niven.” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Rigor Mortis (2013) 65% 1.5/5 EDIT “A confusing plod through a plot filled with knowing references and a mixed bag of nasties...” – NME (New Musical Express) Jun 2, 2021 Full Review David Byrne's American Utopia (2020) 97% 5/5 EDIT “New York's finest team up for a greatest hits extravaganza that doubles as one of 2020's best films...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 18, 2021 Full Review Hunted (2020) 61% 2/5 EDIT “Tip for directors: if you're for some reason compelled to add to the rape revenge subgenre, do make sure you have something to say on the subject first.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 18, 2021 Full Review The Queen of Black Magic (2020) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Unlike the likes of Evil Dead, there's a pleasing attempt to drive the plot forward, too, the focus on whodunnit - and what they did - shifting as we learn more about the horrors in the orphanage...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 18, 2021 Full Review A Nightmare Wakes (2020) 55% 1/5 EDIT “Good times are few and far between as Lord Byron invites his pals to the literary equivalent of Camp Arawak...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 18, 2021 Full Review Us (2019) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It's a film that confirms Peele as that rarest of things - a true auteur.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 11, 2021 Full Review
