Shelter
(2026)
|
Andrew Gaudion
|
What Shelter lacks in originality when it comes to its storytelling, it makes up for with a suitably punchy and gritty approach to its action that strives for a more practical feel to make it stand out amongst the pack.

Twinless
(2025)
|
Andrew Gaudion
|
Twinless may not be to everyone’s taste, but it does prove to be very relatable when it comes to its tale of connection in a fast-paced and often lonely-feeling modern world.

The Chronology of Water
(2025)

Andrew Gaudion

Stewart does an effective job at placing you in Lidia’s shoes, and it is often a very tense place to be.

Primate
(2025)

Kat Hughes

Primate is exactly the type of movie to watch with a late-night popcorn crowd for maximum enjoyment. Full of jawsome gore and deafening tension, Primate follows in The Bone Temple’s footsteps in kicking off 2026’s horror offerings with a bang.

Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant
(2026)
|
Kat Hughes
|
Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant throws everything it can at the audience including, but not limited to, psychedelic bodily fluids, strange appendages, over invested parents, and lazy kids, to create a movie that is both humourful and heartfelt in equal measure.

Exactly how you do the middle chapter of a trilogy, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple expands on what has come before, but never forgets to be its own property.

Pillion
(2025)
|
Kat Hughes
|
With a near perfect balance of comedy, seduction, tension and drama, Pillion is an extraordinary feature debut, realised beautifully thanks to the erotically charged dynamic of Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård.

This Too Shall Pass
(2024)

Grant infuses the film with an air of bittersweetness, mirroring life in its fusion of melancholy and laughter. Far more than just another 80s throwback, This Too Shall Pass is an elegantly charming coming-of-age teen comedy.

Predator: Badlands
(2025)

Predator: Badlands takes one of sci-fi horrors most formidable warriors and neuters it entirely, pairs it with some child-baiting sidekicks, overloads it with CG, and creates a rather lacklustre movie that screams Disneyfication.
