The truth will get you killed… New British crime drama Bluff is British-Bangladeshi screenwriter and producer Sheikh Shahnawaz’s feature directorial debut, though he has an impressively extensive short film CV including Friend Request (2015), Stalker (2016), Duality (2018), The Woods (2018) and Trick (2018). In the film, a London police officer goes undercover as a heroin addict in… Cop goes undercover to reveal Britain’s heroin habit in trailer for crime drama Bluff Read More

Pursuit Of A Jigsaw (short film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd May 2022 by Sarah

A terrifying social satire that delves into the current state of America, the human psyche and relationships. Ahh, marriage. The joyous melding of two lives. It sounds lovely, but judging by Sam Mizrahi-Powell’s short-but-effective horror film Pursuit Of The Jigsaw would look extremely disturbing, if we saw the physical reality. Mizrahi-Powell calls his award winning… Pursuit Of A Jigsaw (short film) Read More

5th August 2020 by Sarah

No that doesn’t mean you should take up shoplifting in the hope of a free ticket. *** my four star review and (very spoilery) article are now live *** I meant to post this trailer a few weeks ago though in my defence I still think it’s April.

Crude Oil (short film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

12th May 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A young woman breaks free from an overbearing friendship after learning to recognise and assert her own talents and desires. Saying more in 15 minutes than many a big budget drama, this short, uplifting film about a long, constraining friendship is pithy, witty and warm. It’s also realistic; Jenny (Andreina Byrne) knows her friendship with… Crude Oil (short film) Read More

Pigeon: Impossible (short film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

23rd February 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I didn’t have time to review Spies In Disguise, the animated feature about top agent Lance Sterling (Will Smith) turned into a pigeon by peace-loving inventor Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) – though my 8 year old took time out from important Lego world-building to give it a go. I’ve been grousing every since though, as… Pigeon: Impossible (short film) Read More

Daniel Isn’t Real 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th December 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This is an electrifying and unforgettable film, a psychological thriller that morphs seamlessly into gut-wrenching horror. Its physical monster shocks and inescapable mind terrors equally frightening and equally believable – as college student Luke is haunted by his childhood imaginary friend Daniel, now fully grown and keen to play. Daniel (an excellent Patrick Schwarzenegger) is… Daniel Isn’t Real Read More

Stardog & Turbocat 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

5th December 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This movie certainly understands cats and dogs, made up as it is of frenetic activity interspersed with longer periods when not much happens. Then the last 25 minutes really crank up the excitement, like that half hour starting at 6pm when cats go nuts and start running round the living room chasing their tails. Still,… Stardog & Turbocat Read More
