Black Phone 2 (2025) Matthew Turner The switch of genres works surprisingly well, giving the sequel a new lease of life, rather than an excuse to just do more of the same.

HIM (2025) Matthew Turner In the end, you can’t help thinking that a more serious drama about the real-life horrors faced by American football players might have been a better bet, at least in terms of delivering chills.

4/5
Bugonia (2025) Matthew Turner A treat from beginning to end, a delightfully dark, blackly comic thriller with a vicious streak a mile wide. Here’s hoping Stone and Plemons both receive the awards attention they deserve.

Mickey 17 (2025) Matthew Turner Pattinson [is] on terrific form here, twice, and he does incredible voice work with both Mickeys, one of which sounds like Steve Buscemi.

4/5
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Matthew Turner As a Marvel film for MCU fans who have a high tolerance for meta humour, this is a large amount of fun, but woe betide anyone going into it without having seen any previous Marvel projects.

4/5
The Three Musketeers: Part II - Milady (2023) Matthew Turner This is unmissable entertainment from start to finish, delivering thrilling action, humour and powerful emotion. As for Eva Green’s show-stopping central performance, is a Milady spin-off movie / prequel too much to hope for?

The Beasts (2022) Matthew Turner Sorogoyen is a master at ratcheting up the suspense, creating an atmosphere more fraught with tension than any recent mainstream thriller you care to mention.

4/5
Saw X (2023) Matthew Turner As tenth instalments to horror franchises go, this is undoubtedly one of the best, comfortably delivering the horror staples of the series in a way that won’t leave fans disappointed.

4/5
Talk to Me (2023) Matthew Turner This is a superbly made debut that marks out both Philippous as serious horror talents to watch. Their next film can’t come soon enough, even if it ends up being Talk To Me Too.

2.5/5
Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Matthew Turner This isn’t nearly as much fun as it should have been, but Statham’s presence ensures that it remains watchable, even if it never quite delivers the shark-based thrills or craziness you’re hoping for. Eat more people next time, sharks!

4/5
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) Matthew Turner An absolute joy from start to finish, thanks to breathtakingly beautiful, thrillingly original animation, a frequently funny script and a madcap sense of invention that means you never quite know what’s coming next.

3/5
The Boogeyman (2023) Matthew Turner This particular Boogeyman isn’t memorable enough to give anyone any sleepless nights, but it’s effective enough for a forgettable Friday night horror and it’s ultimately worth seeing for the superb performances of its three leads.

4/5
Scream VI (2023) Matthew Turner A thoroughly enjoyable sixquel that shows the Scream franchise still has plenty of life left in it. Oh, and stick around for a pitch-perfect post-credits sting – another first for the series.

Bones and All (2022) Matthew Turner Bones and All has future cult movie written all over it, a superbly directed, beautifully acted and achingly romantic tale about young lovers who eat people. Delicious.

Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022) Matthew Turner Garza Cervera proves a master of the slow build, skilfully ratcheting up the intensity of the atmosphere by tiny degrees, to the point where Valeria’s paranoia is practically palpable.

4.5/5
Sissy (2022) Matthew Turner With a thematically rich, genre-savvy script, some delightfully nasty gore moments and a terrific central performance from Aisha Dee, this is one of the best horror movies of the year.

LOLA (2022) Matthew Turner A consistently entertaining and original time travel movie that poses some interesting questions and crams a pleasingly large number of ideas into its efficient 76-minute running time.

2/5
The Lair (2022) Matthew Turner There are some entertainingly gloopy gore moments and the monsters are suitably monstrous, but the film is ultimately let down by dismal acting, a dull script and flat direction.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) Matthew Turner If the filmmakers want audiences to come back for part three, they'd better start coming up with a few carefully considered answers for all the questions they've raised.
Posted Jul 17, 2021  Edit critic review
3/5
The Forever Purge (2021) Matthew Turner This is watchable enough, but the formula is definitely wearing thin, perhaps because the world itself has gotten so much worse since the series began in 2013.

3.5/5
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) Matthew Turner [This]] isn't going to appeal to everyone, but if you're prepared to surrender to the silliness, you'll find yourself goofily grinning from ear to ear.

3/5
The Binge (2020) Matthew Turner Ultimately, there's plenty to enjoy in The Binge, thanks to likeable characters, some inventively witty dialogue...just a shame that the central premise has so little impact on the plot.
