Lab Rat (short film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th July 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Two lovers find themselves on opposite sides of a deadly AI experiment. I love dystopian science fiction shorts, not least because all the gloomy dark corridors mean I have to actually clean my my computer screen properly to work out what’s going on. Lab Rat is a compelling and immensely satisfying example of the genre… Lab Rat (short film) Read More

Alien 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

25th May 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** Read my review of the 4k restoration of Alien and check out images from the film *** So often horror films have an extra opponent every bit as evil and twisted as the main threat. Fighting on one front for a hero or, more usually, a heroine, simply isn’t enough to test them to their limits… Alien Read More

Alien: Covenant 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th May 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A Covenant is an agreement between god and his people but Alien Covenant is so heady with religion I’m surprised they didn’t go the whole way and call it Alien: Old Testament. The question is who is god here – Weyland, David, the Engineers, or Ridley Scott himself who has clearly hugely enjoyed drenching his… Alien: Covenant Read More

Alien: Covenant – The Crew Are Having A Last Supper, Cue Gods & Monsters

23rd February 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Looking at their meagre rations the crew wished the religious parallels stretched to the feeding of the 5000

The religious parallels were everywhere in Prometheus. What were the Engineers but vengeful Old Testament Gods, creating then destroying at will? And now a 4-minute prologue to Alien: Covenant has just been released, directed by Luke Scott, entitled the Last Supper. In Christianity the Last Supper is the last meal that Jesus and his Apostles shared,… Alien: Covenant – The Crew Are Having A Last Supper, Cue Gods & Monsters Read More

The Alien: Covenant Trailer Is Here To Save You From Christmas Hell

25th December 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Daniels was starting to think that the lucky vest she'd bought from Ripley's Thrift Store wasn't so lucky after all

Mouths dripping with acid. Strange and terrifying creatures seemingly from other planets. Screaming. And NO ESCAPE. Yes it’s Christmas with the family. But don’t worry, as the new Alien: Covenant trailer is finally here! And it’s good! Though pretty much like previous Alien stuff, with lots of running down long industrial looking spaceship corridors, and things bursting… The Alien: Covenant Trailer Is Here To Save You From Christmas Hell Read More

Passengers 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

23rd December 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Poor Jim. Waking up 90 years early on a space flight to a new planet, with only a third class ticket. Third class means no frills. Which means Jim is not even allowed a latte, just an ordinary coffee, FOR 90 LONG YEARS. I know, Instagram posts would drop by a third. Chris Pratt is Nice Jim… Passengers Read More

Human (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd October 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Human won best science fi at the LA Film Awards and I can see why – like the best sci fi there’s a very human story nestling in this tale of lost robots. A young woman called Anna comes across a functioning human-sized android in a junk-filled warehouse and befriends him. She reads to him,… Human (Short Film) Read More
