  • The Cottage (2008)
    Review preview for The Cottage

    Taken as a straightforward comic horror movie, this feels too derivative and clichéd. Taken as homage or pastiche, it's not nearly funny, knowing or camp enough.

    Susanna Krawczyk · 2.5 out of 5
    When wannabe big-time crooks kidnap a gangster's daughter and hole up in a remote cottage, they find there are scarier people out there than the mob.
  • A Field In England (2013)
    Review preview for A Field In England

    A kaleidoscopic sequence explores questions of identity through some of the trippiest black and white imagery you'll have seen on the big screen for a long time.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    Four men have a strange encounter during the English Civil War.
  • High-Rise (2015)
    Review preview for High-Rise

    In the literal act of performance there is room to talk about self as performance, and that is where High-Rise is strongest.

    Andrew Robertson · 4.5 out of 5
    Class war breaks out in a tower block.
  • In The Earth (2021)
    Review preview for In The Earth

    In the Earth begins as an unassuming creep-show about a scientist venturing out into a dangerous woods, but has far greater ambitions than a mere slasher or monster movie.

    Jeremy Mathews · 4 out of 5
    As a disastrous virus grips the planet, a scientist and a park scout venture deep into the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness as the forest comes to life around them.
  • The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse (2005)
    Review preview for The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse

    The character-based comedy mostly works as well as it does on the show, but the laboured and frequently infantile storylines make the film fall flat on its face when it's not half way up its own arse.

    Scott Macdonald · 2.5 out of 5
    Convoluted comedy from TV-based series that questions the meaning of reality.
  • Saltburn (2023)
    Review preview for Saltburn

    Its unreliable geographies, human and physical, make it even more beguiling.

    Andrew Robertson · 4.5 out of 5
    Struggling to fit in at Oxford University, Oliver Quick finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton, who invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family’s sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.
  • Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
    Review preview for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

    One of the irresistible charms of Wallace And Gromit for many fans is not just that they are quintessentially British but that they are unmistakably northern.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4.5 out of 5
    Diamond thief Feathers McGraw puts a spanner in Wallace's smart gnome plans.
