Beetlejuice – Film Review
In honour of Halloween, I thought I’d check out yet another 80s classic I’ve never watched before, a ghoulish supernatural comedy from Tim Burton that may be slight on story and characters but is still utterly charming and inventive.
The Omen (1976) – Film Review
It’s the spooky season, so I thought I’d revisit this iconic horror film that had scarred my childhood.
The Substance – Film Review
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of body horror, but I really loved this brash, bold and obscene fable that feels like a work of singular vision despite easily spotted influences.
Speak No Evil (2024)
The American remake doesn’t pack the brutal punch and thematic weight of the original, but it still works as a tense and gripping psychological thriller with some strong performances.
Strange Darling – Film Review
I couldn’t fully decide how I felt about this luscious, vicious and provocative thriller, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

This bleak, cruel and twisted Danish horror film would have been unbearable if it didn’t also explore some interesting ideas about politeness and boundaries. It still made me feel not quite myself for the rest of the evening.
Thelma – Film Review
This winsome feelgood comedy featuring the most unlikely action heroine is a touching and funny tribute to the old age.
Insomnia – Film Review
I finally caught up with this solid if unexceptional remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller, one of the few Christopher Nolan films I’ve never seen before.
