18th May 2023 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Zombies, lacking any profound intentionality, just create the environment to let us see the worst of ourselves come to the fore.  Adam William Cahill Writer-director Adam William Cahill’s first feature, the highly entertaining zomcom Follow The Dead, looks at how a family of soft Millennials in Ireland’s County Offaly cope as unverified viral videos claim that… INTERVIEW: “We have a very morbid sense of humour here in Ireland…” Adam William Cahill on his Millennial zomcom Follow The Dead Read More

28th March 2023 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Spoilers aplenty so a big blood-soaked “KEEP OUT” sign, grasped by a blotchy hand reaching up from the soil, if you don’t want to know what happens, or how it ends… (If you just want to read my review it’s here.)

Follow The Dead 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

20th March 2023 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A family of idle Millennials has to decide how to respond to an outbreak of zombies. *** UPDATE!

The twist in the tale: Wild Mountain Thyme

29th April 2021 by Sarah 2 Comments

Warning: very spoilery about the birds and the bees. (If you’re looking for my review, it’s here.) So have you worked it out yet? Maybe you asked the Film Twitter hive mind? These are farming folk so there are plenty of animals in Wild Mountain Thyme (Rosemary’s crazy horse, the donkey Anthony is claimed to… The twist in the tale: Wild Mountain Thyme Read More

Wild Mountain Thyme 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

29th April 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Two young farmers in Ireland argue over a small strip of land and fail to realise they are meant for each other… The Wild Mountain Thyme trailer came out last year to general merriment (which to be fair we needed) at the grimly-determined, overegged Irishness of it. Even The National Leprechaun Museum complained on Twitter… Wild Mountain Thyme Read More

Wild Mountain Thyme trailer – mint or a load of old borage?

11th November 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** My review is now live *** Sorrel not sorrel. You’d have to be a tarragon of virtue to hold off on those puns. Okay, I’ll stop the chive talking and let you know what I think of the new trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme, which has garnered horror and astonishment in equal measure since… Wild Mountain Thyme trailer – mint or a load of old borage?

Hexing 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

8th May 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This is really a story about friendships: the unexpectedly strong and the poisonously clingy. Though here the toxic relationship in question comes not from another person, but from a board with supernatural powers, that simply wants to be friends. And when it doesn’t get its way all hell breaks loose. A young woman is waiting… Hexing Read More

Song Of Granite 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th April 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Ireland’s tradition of oral storytelling is well known, and the film starts with an elderly man regaling people of all ages with the tale of Sweeney and St. Rónán, as they sit round a fire. It’s a warm, cosy and in many ways melodic start to this part-drama, part-documentary film from director Pat Collins (Silence)…. Song Of Granite Read More
