    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
    A documentary about the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
  • Dying Breed (2008)
    Review preview for Dying Breed

    Dwyer has taken this cinematically uncharted landscape and, like the convict runners of old, transported to it all manner of unsavoury foreign elements.

    Anton Bitel · 3 out of 5
    Four friends find out something - or someone - murderous lurks in the rain-slogged Australian bush.
  • Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
    Review preview for Insidious: Chapter 3

    With these rich characters and this level of awareness, the stage is set for what ought to be a great film, but sadly Insidious: Chapter 3 amounts to less than the sum of its parts.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    In a prequel to the first two Insidious films, medium Elise helps a teenager who is desperate to contact her deceased mother.
  • The Smuggler (2014)
    Review preview for The Smuggler

    The Smuggler blends scatological humour, brutal violence and a few scenes that will put you right off your popcorn into something that is actually rather good.

    Donald Munro · 4 out of 5
    A naïve drug mule in police custody who’s swallowed heroin pellets fights the urge to expel the evidence as mobsters and corrupt cops close in.
  • Saw (2004)
    Review preview for Saw

    Just enough is revealed to keep you glued while shocking, sucker-punches blindside you at all the right moments.

    Stephen Carty · 4 out of 5
    Gruesome horror film with serial killer pretensions.
