28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “A middle chapter The Bone Temple may be, but with instantly iconic characters and visual and audio moments among the series’ finest, it’s a cracking show of strength by DaCosta.” – Daily Record (UK) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% EDIT “Predators is as gripping as its subject matter - with no easy answers or ideologies thrust upon you - and whether you watched To Catch A Predator or not, it will grab your attention throughout.” – Daily Record (UK) Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% EDIT “The picturesque French landscapes are a joy to behold and the frequently used and spotted ancient ruins provide a threatening, dangerous backdrop.” – Daily Record (UK) Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% EDIT “Shelby Oaks gets very wild - a bit too wild - in the latter stages as the mystery is revealed as Stuckmann throws a multitude of horror traits at the screen.” – Daily Record (UK) Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Bone Lake is small-scale filmmaking that often leaves you gasping for breath but occasionally drowns in its own ambition to branch out into more ferocious fare.” – Daily Record (UK) Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Troll 2 (2025) 58% EDIT “The special effects again better many a big-budget Hollywood adventure and the damage done by the giant monster is impressive in its scale.” – Daily Record (UK) Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Elphaba and Glinda’s bond drives the movie and though their attempts to reconnect fully seem doomed, you never stop rooting for it.” – Daily Record (UK) Dec 13, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “Despite falling short of its predecessor, it still contains several unnerving moments, and an iconic new horror icon whose lore is expanded without ruining his mystique.” – Daily Record (UK) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) 26% EDIT “If Lineage is actually the Hell House LLC finale then I can’t think of a horror series with a more infuriating, uninspiring, going-against-what-came-before climax.” – Daily Record (UK) Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “Badlands continues the upward trajectory of the Predator series but, due to its more jovial tone and peeling back much of what makes its protagonist tick, may not win as many fans as Trachtenberg’s previous two outings.” – Daily Record (UK) Nov 18, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% EDIT “Despite having a seemingly franchise-friendly theme, V/H/S/Halloween is one of the weaker films in the series.” – Daily Record (UK) Nov 7, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% EDIT “Rebooting a comedy classic was always going to be a thankless task but Schaffer and, particularly, the arresting Neeson hit the target more often than they miss.” – Daily Record (UK) Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Wynonna Earp: Vengeance (2024) EDIT “I was a big fan of the series and this brisk 96-minute adventure is a worthy addition and comeback.” – Daily Record (UK) Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Night of the Reaper (2025) 80% EDIT “Night of the Reaper is a true mixed bag. Strangely, its writing is its biggest flaw and plus, while the directing lends it an uncomfortable atmosphere.” – Daily Record (UK) Oct 14, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 14% EDIT “Chapter 2 isn’t really any better than its immediate predecessor, despite having the element of surprise in its favour, and doesn’t leave you with any faith that Chapter 3 will be a killer climax to this trilogy.” – Daily Record (UK) Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Dark and the Wicked (2020) 91% EDIT “The atmosphere Bertino creates in his near-singular location-set movie is dripping with dread; he films most scenes in such naturally dull light that it makes the outside world seem much further than a pull of a curtain away.” – Daily Record (UK) Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “With Columbus and, bizarrely, Steven Spielberg - on producing duties - Osman’s work has attracted an unbelievable wealth of talent behind and in front of the camera.” – Daily Record (UK) Sep 23, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% EDIT “Sadly, the lazy script is a letdown and even when it takes chances, there isn’t enough meat on the storyline bones.” – Daily Record (UK) Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% EDIT “Getting under the skin of what it means to be in love via extreme measures, Together is exciting, exacting and exhausting in equal measures.” – Daily Record (UK) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Stranger in My Home (2025) EDIT “Campy, cheap and sorely lacking in consistency, The Stranger in My Home is best left on the doorstep rather than being invited into your viewing life.” – Daily Record (UK) Sep 2, 2025 Full Review The Old Guard 2 (2025) 27% EDIT “It tries to pack in too much and the main characters don’t get to develop very much.” – Daily Record (UK) Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Hawkins is a true revelation.” – Daily Record (UK) Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% EDIT “Dangerous Animals is one of the better post- Jaws shark movies; it just needed a few more sharks to go alongside Courtney’s crazed killer and Harrison’s hardy heroine.” – Daily Record (UK) Aug 12, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “The world long-time television director Matt Shakman and his visual effects team have created feels vibrant. lived-in and unlike anything seen before in the MCU.” – Daily Record (UK) Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Ritual (2025) 9% EDIT “I really tried to give The Ritual the benefit of the doubt but as a horror fan who has been down this road so many times, I actually felt frustrated and fed up sitting through it.” – Daily Record (UK) Jul 25, 2025 Full Review
