A horror movie with a simple, original and brilliantly unnerving premise, It Follows may not be perfect but it was effective enough to wreck my night’s sleep afterwards.

Solaris by Stanisław Lem – Book Review
This enigmatic classic of science fiction is a dark psychological drama with a very distinctive take on contact with extraterrestrial life.
Heilung @ Palais Theatre
My favourite pagan lords and ladies returned for another primal, mesmerising, out-of-this-world performance.

New Music 10/2024 – The Creole Choir of Cuba, Beth Gibbons
Joyful and impassioned Caribbean gospel; bewitching solo debut from the Portishead singer.
