Search: Starring Julian Richings

Richings and McCarthy deliver two of the finest performances in genre works this year.

Cube is a superb example of innovative filmmaking on a low budget.

In his attempt to avoid Western cliches, Winterbottom is in danger of going too far the other way.

There’s a genuine unpredictability to Honey Bunch, both structurally and thematically.

A violent showdown where style (in its purest form) outshoots substance from the very first draw.

This may present itself as a B-movie but it’s very well crafted, at every level from the dramatic to the cinematographic.

It would be overly enthusiastic to say that Survival is a true return to form after the relative misfire of Diary, but it is difficult to deny that Survival is a pretty good piece of genre filmmaking.

The film becomes a road trip, avoiding many of the usual booby traps, although not all.

It is hokum, pure and not-so-simple, executed with youthful zest.

Silly though it my be on the surface, the film's success is not just down to luck.

Wrong Turn remains true to itself and, although it is possible to pick holes in the story afterwards, at the time it feels only too real.
