Relic: it’s coming from inside the house!

9th October 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Very spoilery article, once you’ve recovered from watching the film… (my review is here) In many ways Relic is a classic horror film, part haunted house and part demonic possession.

Logan 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd March 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Every Christmas day he'd show the kids what dad used to do before carving the turkey

Logan isn’t really about superheroes. It’s about ageing and its accompanying vulnerabilities and failing bodies; the fear of death masked as obstinacy and intransigence; about what makes a family, and how families pull you back in whether you want them to or not; about the loss of the old and sacrifice for the young, and also of… Logan Read More
