Two Pigeons (2017) 77% 6/10 EDIT “Freehold deserves mention for its strong central performances and defiant artistry.” – Starburst Mar 9, 2020 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) 90% 8/10 EDIT “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World makes it real and remains largely true to the overarching spirit of the series.” – Starburst Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) 77% 10/10 EDIT “A knee-bouncing, zombie cracking adventure that has the guts to put its daring artistic vision forward without compromise. It's sickly sweet and genuinely original.” – Starburst Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Climax (2018) 69% 7/10 EDIT “A technical masterpiece, and that's not surprising considering Noé's clout and experience. As a story, it's a standard indictment of the nature of modern media culture.” – Starburst Aug 29, 2018 Full Review The Most Assassinated Woman in the World (2018) 86% 8/10 EDIT “The true beauty of The Most Assassinated Woman In The World, however, is its arc. Rather than bequeathing dry instruction on performance history, the wraparound story uses era-specific storytelling techniques to ensure the audience is in on the secret.” – Starburst Aug 29, 2018 Full Review The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2018) 75% 9/10 EDIT “The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot moulds the hellishly real with the whimsical to get us to question our place in the world. It is malevolent, hopeful and incredibly moving - a fantasy for the ponderous imagination.” – Starburst Aug 27, 2018 Full Review The Ranger (2018) 76% 6/10 EDIT “The real star of the show is [director] Jenn Wexler. While the script she co-wrote with Giaco Furino has believability issues, the film's overall tone is ambitious.” – Starburst Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) 70% 9/10 EDIT “The Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich's ending is delightfully peculiar, but that's hardly a surprise. It's also setupsville for the sequel. With Fabio Frizzi's famous theme music still ringing in our ears, we're excited already.” – Starburst Aug 24, 2018 Full Review The Shelter (2015) 8/10 EDIT “For all its anger and impressive visuals, The Shelter is a meditative piece about moving from confusion to the acceptance of something perhaps cannot be fully understood.” – Starburst Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Mansfield 66/67 (2017) 76% 7/10 EDIT “Mansfield 66/67 is unorthodox and sometimes subtly subversive when poking fun at the glamour we expect of 'the naughty'.” – Starburst May 15, 2018 Full Review Cannibal Fog (2014) 9/10 EDIT “Cannibal Fog is a finely mixed, jangling masterpiece of humanity masquerading as merry mayhem.” – Starburst Nov 17, 2017 Full Review It (2017) 85% 10/10 EDIT “IT is horror with heart and high jinks. If taking on a killer clown and all IT's compadres leads to the adventure the Losers have, you'll float, too.” – Starburst Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Better Watch Out (2016) 89% 8/10 EDIT “Better Watch Out plays the audience at their own game. It pleasures and punishes them for trying to pre-guess its gifts. It is deeply unnerving and adorably sinister.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2017 Full Review The Terror of Hallow's Eve (2017) 70% 7/10 EDIT “The Terror of Hallow's Eve mixes old-fashioned movie magic with psychologically more daring horror. That said, more monsters don't make things merrier but if the psychology exists, they're real.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Lowlife (2017) 91% 9/10 EDIT “The lustre of Lowlife is that it doesn't pull its punches but finds beauty and a curious humanity in the chaos of the crime-ridden city.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Eat Local (2017) 21% 7/10 EDIT “Parallels with everything from Shaun of the Dead to What We Do In the Shadows go down a treat. There's even a nice little bit of social class dialogue bubbling under the surface that results in a final and very wry political money shot.” – Starburst Aug 28, 2017 Full Review Cult of Chucky (2017) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Cult of Chucky takes the franchise to its (psycho!)logical conclusion. There is daffy, orange Easter eggs aplenty and enough blood to entertain the (as yet) uninitiated.” – Starburst Aug 25, 2017 Full Review My Bloody Banjo (2015) 8/10 EDIT “[My Bloody Banjo] has genuinely hugely enjoyable segments.” – Starburst Oct 20, 2016 Full Review The Killing of America (1981) 9/10 EDIT “The Killing of America manages to be harrowing today as its stark warnings have gone unheeded. The killers it showcases have gone on to become pop culture and the editing of them alongside scenes of violence truly cuts to the quick.” – Starburst Sep 12, 2016 Full Review Ibiza Undead (2016) 8/10 EDIT “What it lacks in some seasoned performers it makes up for in pure, putrefied pizzazz. Yet, for all its 'ard man posturing, it is an equal opportunities stalkathon and is all the more intriguing for it.” – Starburst Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Hostage to the Devil (2016) 8/10 EDIT “Hostage to the Devil fascinates with its focus on a renegade, dinner-party darling exorcist and the social factors that made him a star.” – Starburst Sep 6, 2016 Full Review Fury of the Demon (La Rage du Démon) (2016) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Fury of the Demon works wonderfully because it presents a little known aspect of the life of a man who changed the world to an audience it expects to be intelligent.” – Starburst Sep 2, 2016 Full Review The Lesson (2015) 80% 9/10 EDIT “Thoughtful and oddly poignant.” – Starburst Mar 1, 2016 Full Review JeruZalem (2015) 54% 9/10 EDIT “With their tale of petrified friends, governmental gods and roaming murder, Jeruzalem is a terrific and terrible vision of what, for all we know, may well be.” – Starburst Jan 20, 2016 Full Review Demonic (2015) 30% 8/10 EDIT “The Will Cannon-directed movie is a whodunit come haunted house caper come satanic stormer and despite these being familiar themes, the actors and editing ensure that it's a scream.” – Starburst Sep 3, 2015 Full Review
