The Card Counter (2020) 88% EDIT “Paul Schrader’s unique style is evident in “The Card Counter,” a film that can be seen as part of Paul Schrader’s lengthy inquiry into complex characters and their inner struggles.” – Starburst Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Mancunian Man: The Legendary Life of Cliff Twemlow (2023) 5/5 EDIT “In a similar fashion to Being Frank, Mancunian Man takes an underrated northern artist whose impact could have been greater given the right breaks... An essential watch for anyone remotely interested in indie film and the crazy days of the VHS era.” – Starburst Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Scare Package II: Rad Chad's Revenge (2022) 81% 3/5 EDIT “These are entertaining enough, but the spoof element is a little too on the nose at times. Lifting entire set pieces from popular movies might be fun but does come across a little lazy.” – Starburst Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Neptune Frost (2021) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Regardless of what you’ll make of the story, which requires the utmost attention and is often mesmerising, it’s impossible not to be moved by the visuals and superb soundtrack.” – Starburst Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Shady Grove (2022) 3/5 EDIT “Mixing elements of folk horror and home invasion tropes, Shady Grove is an entertaining enough tale that hits the right spots when it needs to. ” – Starburst Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Red River Road (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There may well be many wry observations on the situation of the past few years, but Schuyler takes the story into different layers of paranoia and menace.” – Starburst Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Faye (2022) 86% 4/5 EDIT “May not be as chilling as a regular ghost tale, but it’s a powerful, haunting picture of grief and loss.” – Starburst May 13, 2022 Full Review Repeat (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This inventive independent British film punches well above its weight and is a welcome entry to the afterlife thriller subgenre.” – Starburst Nov 29, 2021 Full Review Habit (2021) 7% 2/5 EDIT “While the plot might sound familiar, there's nothing in writer/director Janell Shirtcliff's film that comes close to the success of Sister Act. It will even rank lower than the woeful Nuns on the Run.” – Starburst Nov 28, 2021 Full Review Night at the Eagle Inn (2021) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Plays wonderfully into the mood of other haunted hotel films (it leans more to The Innkeepers than The Shining with the dialogue-heavy dynamic of the leads) and it doesn't skimp on the scares..” – Starburst Nov 12, 2021 Full Review R.I.A. (2020) 2/5 EDIT “Sadly, the acting and dialogue are as stilted as Ria the android herself.” – Starburst Nov 5, 2021 Full Review John and the Hole (2020) 60% 4/5 EDIT “Its pedestrian pace and languid narrative will put off many, but stick with it and there's plenty to unravel.” – Starburst Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Lantern's Lane (2021) 2/5 EDIT “Writer/director Justin LaReau's follow-up to A Demon Within is a melting pot of ideas... and the resulting soup isn't that flavoursome.” – Starburst Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Colony (2021) 54% 3/5 EDIT “While it's not a complete success, The Colony is an interesting, impressive-looking film that is well worth a watch for fans of desolate, but optimistic post-apocalyptic sci-fi.” – Starburst Aug 20, 2021 Full Review The Offering (2020) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The Offering will leave you with more questions than answers but is nevertheless an engaging reflection on love and obsession.” – Starburst Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Blood Pageant (2021) 2/5 EDIT “The rest of the cast struggle to make the material memorable and director Harvey Lowry excels at portraying the behind the scenes of the show but struggles to raise any fear factor.” – Starburst Jun 28, 2021 Full Review Hero Mode (2021) 50% 3/5 EDIT “It's by no means perfect, but for the niche it's playing to, it's entertaining enough.” – Starburst Jun 22, 2021 Full Review
