“This is the saddest heist in the long-storied history of crime” says first-time burglar Marlon as he and fellow future felon Leo attempt to escape from a house they’ve broken into and are now unable to leave. That title is accurate and inaccurate, luckily for the right reasons. This is an engaging movie with a… A Bad Idea Gone Wrong Read More

A Violent Man 3 stars
Forgive the pun but A Violent Man punches above its weight. I’m no expert on MMA – I’m a lover not a fighter. Well I’m definitely not a fighter, anyway. But I still found a lot to appreciate in this low-budget thriller about a young man who finds that just when a potential path to… A Violent Man Read More
Fishbowl California 4 stars
Some screen icons are so ingrained in our memories, it takes something special for us to move past them. Viewing Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal recently, I finally laid to rest the image of Death playing Twister with Bill and Ted. The question was, faced with another inept dreamer called Rodney in Fishbowl California, would I be… Fishbowl California Read More

The 12 3 stars
*** Check out my interviews with The 12‘s director James Whitehill and screenwriter Jessica Whitehill *** Astonishingly The 12 was made in five days – yes I said FIVE DAYS – which is less time than it takes me to decide what to watch on Netflix. A bleakly witty church invasion thriller, it’s a refreshing take… The 12 Read More

A Gentle Night (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars
Parental love is a wonderful thing but the other side of the coin – guilt – is never far away for most of us, to varying degrees, sometimes deserved but mostly not, or at least not completely. Linlin’s parents already look drained, with her mum (Shuxian Li) particularly careworn. It’s partly what has just happened and partly the lighting and… A Gentle Night (Short Film) Read More
Unseen, The 3.5 stars
I’m always surprised there aren’t more films set in the Lake District, particularly horror – that landscape of meres, tarns and rolling hills leading to grey jutting crags and high, lonely waterfalls can turn from benign to threatening in an instant. Factor in the area’s notoriously ropy mobile phone signal and the many isolated grey… Unseen, The Read More
