    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
    A documentary about the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
  • Corpse Bride (2005)
    Review preview for Corpse Bride

    Corpse Bride is even better than The Nightmare Before Christmas. It displays the imagination of a man, haunted in childhood by the Brothers Grimm, with a twisted sense of humour, steeped in 19th century romanticism.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    Stop-motion love story sees a young man inadvertantly marry a dead woman.
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
    Review preview for The Nightmare Before Christmas

    Henry Selick directs with clever staging and infinite patience. The musical numbers are catchy, boisterous and hugely entertaining.

    Scott Macdonald · 4.5 out of 5
    3D version of Tim Burton's stop-animation film about Hallowe'en Jack's fascination with Christmas gets its annual trot around the cinema block.
