Despite potential fears that ‘dumbing down’ Predator from its more accustomed bloodier rating of ‘15’ to ‘12A’ would impact the series – it couldn’t be further from the truth. Director Dan Trachtenberg follows up his highly-acclaimed direct-to-streaming entry with the Native American-set Prey, to provide something just as spectacular – in a completely different way. This is without doubt looking to the future by giving the franchise a ‘broader’ appeal. And it works. In fact,

Pure joy for kids – and surprisingly delightful for adults too! When I asked Gav if I could review Gabby’s Dollhouse, he didn’t exactly put up much of a fight when allowing me to do so! As a middle-aged man, I’m certainly not the target demographic, but my seven-year-old son really wanted to watch it, and erm... we did. And I must be honest when I say that... I became fully immersed in the experience. The film stars Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role as Gabby (as from

Props to my cousin’s son, Joey Miller, for churning out some distinctively bloody ingenuity for the horror genre. Having hit acclaimed streaming services such as Apple TV and Google Play (to rent or buy) in the past week, the Eye-based writer had his script picked up, and tackled by director DW Medoff (2023’s Pollen). But most importantly, was the stellar signing of Hollywood star Jackie Early Haley – who had already cut his teeth in the horror playground by portraying the ic

A chilling sequel that rings true... Black Phone 2 takes the eerie premise of its predecessor and ventures deeper into thrilling, supernatural territory. Directed once again by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange), the film sees Ethan Hawke return as the menacing Grabber, while Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw reprise their roles as youngsters Finney and Gwen Blake. Newcomers Demián Bichir (Alien: Covenant) and Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan) also add fresh texture to the e

Will TRON ever have a large enough following to make the box-office money it so desperately wants from a big-budget movie? Yep – as me and my son found out at Easter with the ninety minute plus queue for the Lightcycle ride at Orlando’s Disney World – the appetite is potentially there, but the series really does seem to struggle to reach blockbuster status. And here, despite visual decadence, this – just like with the original TRON (1982) and it’s Legacy sequel (2010) – never

A small film with a big heart – and one that’ll stay with you long after the credits roll. I took my mum to see I Swear, and before the lights dimmed, I warned her there would probably be tears based on what I’d seen in the trailer. There were indeed tears. Lots of them. Not just from us, but from several people around the room. But there was laughter too – and gasps – the kind of emotional ‘ebb and flow’ that only a film truly in tune with its audience can pull off. Directed
