C.H.U.D. II (1989) EDIT “It’s not genuinely good or weird enough, nor a so-bad-it’s-fun b-movie for it to register any impact. ” – Starburst May 10, 2025 Full Review The Feast (2021) 80% 3/5 EDIT “The Feast is a solid, if disappointing, film, nicely shot and crafted but without the muscle behind it to really make it memorable or for it’s message to be properly effective.” – Starburst Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Mad God (2021) 92% 4/5 EDIT “... Sits somewhere amongst Clive Barker stories, Nine Inch Nails ‘90s music videos, and Jan Švankmajer’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.” – Starburst May 24, 2022 Full Review Midnight (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Midnight is a pleasure of a horror. Stripped down and lean, it’s clever and well executed while maintaining a social message throughout. Another horror hit from Korea that deserves to be seen.” – Starburst Mar 16, 2022 Full Review The Reckoning (2021) 20% 1/5 EDIT “Though the filmmaking and editing is serviceable, it doesn't feel like the hand of a director who seemed so natural and in control of his previous work.” – Starburst Mar 9, 2021 Full Review The Painted Bird (2019) 81% 3/5 EDIT “It's heavy watching and certainly difficult for some to stomach. But the film draws you in with its slow moving camera that paints the scenes in a hauntingly beautiful black and white.” – Starburst Nov 16, 2020 Full Review Monos (2019) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Monos sucks you into its almost unearthly world, with just under two hours of running time slipping easily away as your drawn into the shaken lives of these teenagers and their relationships.” – Starburst Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Dave Made a Maze (2017) 85% 9/10 EDIT “Destined for cult classic status. It's packed full of imagination, fun, humour and pure entertainment. One of the most enjoyable and original films you'll see this year.” – Starburst Jan 22, 2019 Full Review The Harrowing (2018) 40% 3/10 EDIT “Tompkins and entertaining effects keep things moving, but it's let down by a plot that never effectively unravels, instead just relying on the unreliable protagonist trope.” – Starburst Jan 2, 2019 Full Review Children of Men (2006) 92% 10/10 EDIT “Enjoy it for its story, enjoy it for its entertainment value, and enjoy it for its intelligence. Just watch it.” – Starburst Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Dead Time Stories (1986) 0% 5/10 EDIT “It nips along at a fair pace, with a running time of only 83 minutes, but it never makes an impact.” – Starburst Sep 5, 2018 Full Review The Nun (1966) 86% 7/10 EDIT “Don't be fooled by its reputation. The Nun isn't here for shock value, but tune in to its drama and you'll find an interesting film helped by a strong central performance.” – Starburst Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Baskin (2015) 80% 7/10 EDIT “Building up a steady and oppressive atmosphere, with grubby and disturbing sights, it does lose its edge towards the end, backing out when it should push itself over the cliff. There's still much to be interested in.” – Starburst May 4, 2018 Full Review Dude Bro Party Massacre III (2015) 93% 9/10 EDIT “If you're a 5SF fan you'll be glad to see all the gang here, throwing themselves into the film and obviously having a good time doing it.” – Starburst Mar 13, 2018 Full Review The Terrible Two (2017) 2/10 EDIT “The Terrible Two struggles to find its footing, pulled apart by horror tropes, dodgy acting and unrealistic characters.” – Starburst Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Shin Godzilla (2016) 87% 4/10 EDIT “Shin Godzilla is a film filled with far more government meetings than Godzilla action. A lack of compelling characters and an abundance of bureaucracy make Godzilla's big screen return a let-down.” – Starburst Dec 30, 2017 Full Review Replace (2017) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Replace starts off shakily but soon settles in to its own groove. You've seen some bits of it before but it's got enough twists and turns to keep you interested until the end.” – Starburst Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Tokyo Godfathers (2003) 92% 9/10 EDIT “With peerless animation, plenty of laughs and just as much heart, Tokyo Godfathers is an absolute joy. It should appear high on your list of alternative Christmas movies.” – Starburst Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Blood Feast (2016) 6/10 EDIT “It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but if you're in the right mood, Blood Feast is an enjoyable and short watch.” – Starburst Oct 18, 2017 Full Review 5/10 EDIT “Prolific director Kinji Fukasaku, best known for Battle Royale, struggles against bloated plots, bringing only a hint of the flair for camerawork and directorial style that he showed in his late career teenagers-slaughtering-each-other masterpiece.” – Starburst Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Death Note (2017) 36% 6/10 EDIT “It's probably not going to win over the Manga faithful, but Death Note is entertaining fun despite its failings.” – Starburst Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Lord of the Flies (1963) 92% 6/10 EDIT “The ideas and plotting of Golding's novel shines through, but this adaptation fails to find its power as it feels the need to rush through to the end.” – Starburst Aug 25, 2017 Full Review The Ghoul (2016) 76% 7/10 EDIT “Gareth Tunley's first feature film is an interesting and strong calling card. It struggles to find its feet at times, but it's enough to make you look forward to what he'll do next in a hopefully exciting and fruitful film career.” – Starburst Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Kuso (2017) 32% 1/10 EDIT “Despite its love of toilet humour, and attempts to be disgusting and oh-so edgy, Kuso is nothing but a humourless and tiresome trudge, destined to be watched only by young teenagers with poor taste in films.” – Starburst Jun 23, 2017 Full Review Bad Frank (2017) 5/10 EDIT “With strong performances and some solid direction, Bad Frank is enjoyable and compelling through its first half but starts to fall apart in the final act.” – Starburst Jun 23, 2017 Full Review
