I was singing the Hall and Oates hit of the same name all through this, which rather clashes with the loud, threatening trailer music. That music is as doomy as can be, as is the whole trailer. I can’t work out whether Maneater is going to be absolutely awful or a genius over-the-top mash up… Maneater trailer is all the tropes Read More

Don’t Worry Darling second trailer stresses rather than soothes
No yolks — sorry, jokes — in this article as I came away so unsettled I had to anaesthetise myself by googling where I could buy Florence Pugh’s pinny. This trailer at first looks like more of the same — more weird stuff, more threat, more empty eggs — but it’s also unnerving, and I’m… Don’t Worry Darling second trailer stresses rather than soothes Read More
John Wick 4? John Wick Phwoar more like — teaser & first-look image released
He’s lost his wife. And his dog. And his car. And his finger. And it’s only going to get worse… The man who put the ass in assassin — twice in fact — is BACK, and already they’re underestimating him, saying even he can’t kill everyone, or some such nonsense. Like me faced with eating… John Wick 4? John Wick Phwoar more like — teaser & first-look image released Read More
Ahoy there! The Fisherman’s Friends: One And All trailer has sailed into port
There’s only one thing worse than failure and that’s success — or that’s what I tell myself after screwing up once again. In 2019’s smash hit Fisherman’s Friends the Cornish sea shanty singers ended up hitting the big time — but in the soon-to-be-released sequel they are soon finding their new situation trickier than they… Ahoy there! The Fisherman’s Friends: One And All trailer has sailed into port Read More
Jurassic snark and larks in the new Persuasion trailer
*** Read my review and plot re-cap *** Yes we’re headed back to the early 19th century and Dorset’s Lyme Regis for Netflix’s summer release Persuasion. The film stars Dakota Johnson as the no-longer-wealthy Anne Elliot with Cosmo Jarvis and William Golding as her two suitors, and there’s not been so much hotness on the… Jurassic snark and larks in the new Persuasion trailer Read More
High stakes on a train: new Bullet Train trailer and images
A jaded hitman. The world’s fastest train. A stolen suitcase. A series of assassins out to get him. This looks a bit John Wick, a bit Snowpiercer, a bit Johnny English, a bit Thomas The Tank Engine. Okay not that last one. I’m not that sympathetic. Come back when you’ve attempted to “mind the gap”… High stakes on a train: new Bullet Train trailer and images Read More
GATLOPP trailer: is it game over?
*** My review is here, or read my recap of the ending *** GATLOPP? Is that an initialism? An anagram (um, tag plop?)? A wordsearch? The answer to how to escape this literally hellish drinking game? Horror and board games are an appropriate partnership, considering the ouija board began — ahem — life as a… GATLOPP trailer: is it game over? Read More
Town Full Of Ghosts trailer: hell is other people, except in the empty Blackwood Falls
Some towns should stay forgotten. Like a found footage Grand Designs, Mark and Jenna buy a dilapidated and abandoned settlement with a view to making their fortune. Here’s the synopsis: Mark (Andrew C Fisher) and his wife Jenna (Mandy Lee Rubio) sell everything they have to purchase a western ghost town called Blackwood Falls in… Town Full Of Ghosts trailer: hell is other people, except in the empty Blackwood Falls Read More
Time to rewind in the Press Play trailer
“If music be the food of love play on”, said Shakespeare’s Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night, trying to listen to so much he’d go off his crush Olivia. He should have put together a selection of favourite, meaningful lute bangers for her and paid the band to stand beneath her window playing them in a… Time to rewind in the Press Play trailer Read More
Beast trailer looks great in the mane
I do love I Can See Clearly Now, which plays over this trailer, though I won’t lie, I was hoping for an arty, slowed down version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Tight Fit version). Maybe in the finished film there’ll be a plainsong Circle Of Life as the giant lion tucks into its dinner? Idris… Beast trailer looks great in the mane Read More
I’m dead! The new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One teaser trailer is here
What a title! And what a hashtag it’ll be. (Did film names start getting longer when Twitter doubled its tweet character count, or did Twitter double its tweet character count because film titles were getting longer? It’s these kinds of philosophical conundrums that made me become a critic.) At two minutes, this is quite long… I’m dead! The new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One teaser trailer is here Read More
Cop Secret clip & trailer: don’t Messi with Icelandic super cop Bussi
The fast-paced comedy stars Auðunn Blöndal as your usual maverick, hard-drinking, no-nonsense, brutal cop in a tight white vest… but he has a secret: he has a crush on hunky fellow policeman Hörđur (Egill Einarsson). I’m a big fan of workplace crushes, but in this case it distracts him from his job tracking down a… Cop Secret clip & trailer: don’t Messi with Icelandic super cop Bussi Read More
