LongLegs gives us the most twisted Nic Cage and is a mix of Silence of The Lambs and Se7en, with Maika Monroe as the FBI agent. A serial killer procedural horror, with uncompromising images and anxious unease throughout. Weirdly, I felt it held back and needed a knockout blow

MaXXXine is a stylish, solid end to the X trilogy, telling its own captivating story. We get a De Palma style grimey 80's LA, gripped by a serial killer and satanic panic, brought to life with a great soundtrack and big performances, while peeking behind the facade of Hollywood✌🏾

A Quiet Place: Day One...When you just wanna hug your cat and have some pizza! Lupita N'yongo shines in this tense fight for survival. It plays as expected, but there's emotional weight to this, the best cat and a cracking final shot!

In a Violent Nature: A stripped down slasher from the POV of the killer, nothing but methodical, sadistic killings. The lack of score makes this a calm yet gory walk in the woods. The yoga kill was one of the best, most brutal and inventive kills. Needed a more imposing killer ✌🏾

Glen Powell is brilliantly charming in this fun true story of a fake hitman. For me it only got going once the story introduces Adria Arjona and the plot switches up and becomes a comedy thriller, while remaining an entertaining crowd pleaser

Sasquatch Sunset: Story of a Sasquatch family in America and their lives / struggles. You see all manner of things and the portrayal of their battles has immense poignancy. It's bizarre, gross, yet sensitive all at once. Very much, what did I just watch! Surreal yet moving

Sadly those that vote for him don't realise they are also jeopardising themselves too. All he is going to do is create a further class divide

Under Paris: A killer shark loose in Paris, a Mayor that doesn't care, a grieving scientist and a cop that just doesn't quit, yep it's dumb shark fun! The last 30 mins convinced me to see the inevitable sequel the rest reminded me to reign in my expectations. Sharkrebleu indeed

A roadtrip / coming of age movie that feels like one, that encapsulates the feeling and emotional of it all. The off keltier vibe works as group of teenagers go for one last hurrah, capturing the youthful zest for life. This film was a whole vibe and I dug it 🙌🏾

A wonderfully crafted take on Frankenstein, by virtue of a grieving sister. This is a horror story via a modern urban lens, where vengeance is sought due to societal and systemic issues. Tho disjointed in part, there's a solid story, great SFX and a tragic yet terrifying tale

Sting starts and ends well but in between it can't make up its mind. The spider practical effects, the thrills and general spider driven dread is great, just few and far between and it takes a while for the havoc to kick off. A good throwback creature feature, just lacked bite ✌🏾

Challengers: Highly stylised, intensely hot film about a tennis love triangle. Zendaya annoyingly toys with both male leads well in this chess match of a film. All's fair in love, tennis and churros. Great soundtrack, exhilarating in parts, corny in others, annoying characters✌🏾

Babysitter is all kinds of brilliant viewing. A sexist joke goes viral and so begins a journey of self realisation. It's a comedically satirical look and take down of casual misogyny and sexism. The visuals and bold & brazen sequences are superb, in this vivid 'healing' journey!

Chime by Kiyoshi Kurusawa is a haunting look at an apathetic culinary teacher going through an existential crisis. The score is harrowing, scenes of dread are blunt and visceral. A stripped down, unsettling, observational horror that fits lots into its 45min runtime. Go in blind

Femme: Powerful, tragic, tense and gloriously acted. After a homophobic attack a drag artist named Jules is left withdrawn and vulnerable. Revenge and redemption is nuanced around identity and internalised homophobia, developing into one hell of a character study. Gripping watch

Black Hawk Down's lesser intense cousin focusing on an extraction of a serviceman gone wrong and the inefficiencies of the American Military. Russell Crowe is his usual charming, grumpy self and I'm here for it! Decent action flick and gives time to those that give their lives in battle

Infested is a solid spider horror. An infestation of poisonous spiders take over an apartment building and the fight for survival begins. Shades of Attack The Block here, but more intense, claustrophobic and that growing ick you can't shift. A visually stunning creature feature!

It's weird that some things are considered OK to go to solo and others aren't. Nobody calls you a weirdo for going to the gym by yourself. And it's not as if the cinema is really a social event either - you can't talk or interact with whomever you're with anyway!

This 🙌🏾 I predominantly go to the cinema alone (unless at festivals) it's the best way, no stress, just some time alone and no hassles (unless idiots are being a pain in the screening like on their phone or talking throughout the movie) #SoloCinema

Ah Abigail was such a riot. Slow and steady 1st half and a wild and bloody 2nd half. Go in knowing as little as possible (which I managed to somehow do) and prepare yourself for a gory and bloodsoaked time! Melissa Barrera once again ruled but the dance sequence was top drawer 👌🏾

Close is a terribly moving and sad story of two boys that are friends and face challenges of their friendship in a new school year. The fragility of innocence against adolescence is so poignant here. So many scenes are given weight through silence and powerful performances. Phenomenal viewing!

Stopmotion....wonderfully crafted yet hauntingly bleak. Visually absorbing yet brilliantly twisted. It goes places when telling the story of an artist and her struggles and nightmarishly disturbing physchosis. If you liked Mad God (which I did) this is for you, to maybe enjoy ✌🏾

Civil War is tense viewing, seen by the lens of a press photographer looking for the best shots in an America torn by war. With an apocalyptic edge and visceral unsettling images, this highlights the futility of war and how little regard for life during it. The Washington sequence was something else

Yes! The First Omen was a worthy prequel to one of the great horror films. It's modern yet classic, terrifying yet beautiful and some great body horror sequences and a third act that goes for it! With a great score and captivating scenes, this was made to be seen at the cinema!

Wicked Little Letters is a fun old sweary whodunnit with a strong underlying story of post war attitudes to women, patriarchy and loss. Jessie Buckley is amazing and Olivia Colman is on great form and this was just brilliant! I need to use Foxy Arse more often on my correspondence 😂

Spoonful of Sugar was definitely a thirsty, bloody trip! A disturbed babysitter experiences a sexual awakening while hooked on LSD, while also babysitting for a sick child. Drug fuelled hallucinations, sexual awakening, all manner of family issues. The final act saves this ✌🏾

This was 2 movies in one...a serial killer story and a coming of age, sexual identity angle. A riff on Its A Wonderful Life, with big Back To The Future timeline nod, decent slasher and I was invested in the peril of it all, kills were solid...oh and Katharine Isabelle rules 🙌🏾

The Zone of Interest is bleak. Seen through the eyes of the family of the commander for Auschwitz's concentration camp who wants to make a home, next to the horrors that are unfolding. War is pointless This is happening today and similar films will be made and we will again look back in horror ✌🏾

The Conference: A Company retreat, a pissed off community due to a mall being built on a farm...what could go wrong! Hanging colleagues takes a bloody turn in this fun slasher. Some social commentary but generally just people getting sliced. Very much like Severance I should add!

I will add that I do think Greta Gerwig should have got an nomination. That movie could have tanked in so many ways but she made something that the whole world pretty much saw. However when have the Oscars ever nominated the right way eg; The Color Purple & Do The Right Thing back in the day 🤷🏾

Interesting re Oscars and now Ryan Gosling's statement. Are we totally glossing over the fact that Lily Gladstone, America Ferrera, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Danielle Brooks, Justine Triet, Billie Eilish and Diane Warren all got nominated in a very strong year for movies. #Oscars2024

So the Oscars, reckon they pretty much got the nominations right. Greta Gerwig could have got a nod, at the expense of who though? Probably Scorsese. Lily Gladstone, Cillian Murphy, (Paul Giamatti?) Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Robert Downey Jr to win. Best Film is very tough, they're all actually great

Destroy All Neighbors is a zany throwback horror with great practical effects, gory kills all for recording the best prog rock album by the protagonist Will who suffers from a creative block and accidentally goes on a killing spree! Entrails playing the drums was the highlight 😂

The Kitchen is a solid social commentary, highlighting the inequality and continued gap between rich and poor plus the story of Izi and an orphaned boy Benji. With a great turn from Ian Wright as The Kitchen's Lord Kitchener (irony of that is everything) Poignant watch

Cannibal Mukbng is a brilliant debut feature. Basically a love story centered around cannibalism and revenge. It goes places with the food prep shall we say and looks at acceptance, moral compass and trauma. A funny, quirky cannibalistic rom com!

Poor Things was glorious. So much commentary on humanity, what makes us happy and how we evolve. A surreal story, amazing wordplay, stunning visuals and that portrayal of liberation and happiness of childlike wonder we all seek. This is Yorgos' bold, brash and evocative Barbie.
