Death Race 2000 (1975) 80% EDIT “Ludicrously silly, yet sharply satirical.” – Inverse Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Fountain (2006) 52% EDIT “The limitations of the body, its susceptibility to disease and death, have never been more keenly felt in Aronofsky’s works.” – BFI Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Requiem for a Dream (2000) 80% EDIT “Ghostly dissolves capture them turning into mere echoes of themselves. Aronofsky speeds up time and draws it out agonisingly, evoking the rush of the high and then its crushing absence.” – BFI Aug 27, 2025 Full Review The Wrestler (2008) 99% EDIT “Aronofsky makes movies about people who suffer for their art, but in The Wrestler, suffering is the art, the spectacle that people are so drawn to. A distillation of his most enduring themes, it still foregoes his more disorienting visual tricks.” – BFI Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Black Swan (2010) 85% EDIT “Doubles, mirror images and unnerving doppelgängers dot this tale of a repressed, rigid ballerina (Natalie Portman), whose artistic director pushes her to lose herself in her art during a production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Instead, she loses her head.” – BFI Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Black Christmas (1974) 72% EDIT ““Silent Night” plays over the opening credits of Black Christmas, a cruel punchline for a film in which a group of women are plagued by a landline's repeated ringing — phone calls from a pervert — and any silence is eventually shattered by their screams.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 85% EDIT “Released five years before Alien (1979), Tobe Hooper’s nightmarish vision illustrated how rural America could be just as unknowable and terrifying as a planetoid in the furthest reaches of space, its inhabitants as unsettling and alien as a Xenomorph.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Looper (2012) 93% EDIT “For all its detailed sci-fi worldbuilding and convoluted timelines, it’s the film’s emotions that endure: empathy for the people we are today and hope for the people we might become tomorrow.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Splice (2009) 75% EDIT “The drama doesn’t stint on sci-fi weirdness, featuring sex-swapping creatures and an uncomfortable stretch of interspecies psychosexual tension. But for all its bizarro energy, it’s also surprisingly perceptive about what it takes to be a parent.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Wicker Man (1973) 91% EDIT “The Wicker Man remains an distinctively unnerving masterwork.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Village (2004) 43% EDIT “What kind of world do we owe our kids? How can we best prepare them to live in it after we’re gone? In Shyamalan's Knock At The Cabin, the cost of a safer world is great personal sacrifice. The Village places that burden on the next generation too.” – Inverse Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Shadowbox (2025) EDIT “Bars are a recurring motif in Shadowbox, Baksho Bondi, emphasising the loneliness and isolation of its characters. One of them will end up in prison by the end, as the recurring visual cannily foreshadows, but for now, they're all trapped.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 94% EDIT “Hamlet is about people pretending to be something they’re not; but the GTA version is perversely revealing: we may not know what the actors look like until the very end, but we know what’s haunting them.” – Sight & Sound Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% EDIT “Playing Eddie and Venom, Tom Hardy wrings a surprising amount of sentiment from a performance that essentially involves talking to himself, and the film derives its tender tone from the notion that this partnership might finally have to come to an end.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% EDIT “History might keep repeating itself, but there's no reason for cinematic retreads to be this tiresome too.” – The Hollywood Reporter India Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Pathaan (2023) 82% EDIT “Pathaan sums up Shak Rukh Khan’s triumphant comeback in just two words: “Zinda hai (Still alive).” No amount of CGI-enhanced spectacle can match the sheer delight of watching real star power in action.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Tenet (2020) 70% EDIT “Orson Welles’ assertion that a movie in production is the biggest train set a boy could have is routinely borne out by Christopher Nolan films, in which planes are wrecked with giddy glee.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% EDIT “By 2018, a franchise that began with Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling of a Langley vault was dangling him off a 1,981-foot-high cliff, illustrating how Mission Impossible’s stunts have only gotten bigger, bolder and more bonkers. ” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof (2007) 67% EDIT “The two halves of Death Proof each conclude with a superb car sequence: one a crash, the other a chase; one at night, the other at daytime; one sickening, the other supremely satisfying.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Face/Off (1997) 93% EDIT “In John Woo’s Face/Off, the unhinged intensity of the actors’ performances and outlandish absurdity of its plot is matched only by the relentless excess of its action. ” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Sholay (1975) 95% EDIT “The film's most celebrated action sequence is as propulsive as the train it’s set on, as one outlaw shovels coal into the locomotive furnace to speed it up, while another picks off converging bandits. But its most indelible scenes draw out time instead.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review The Most Dangerous Game (1932) 100% EDIT “One stretch cuts between the actor's eyes and his point-of-view in tight close-up as he doggedly stalks his prey through the jungle, vision obscured by dense foliage. In another, the camera keeps pace alongside a pack of ferocious hunting dogs.” – BFI Nov 17, 2024 Full Review The Bloodhound (2020) 93% EDIT “Director Patrick Picard hones in on the isolation at the heart of Edgar Allan Poe’s story.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Two Evil Eyes (1990) 63% EDIT “Two masterful horror directors spin Poe’s tales into an anthology of contemporary narratives that center men attempting to get away with murder.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972) 100% EDIT “Death and desire are inextricable in this clever reworking of Poe’s short story, which trades the first-person POV of a man ruing the growing blight upon his soul for a slasher thriller in which the identity of the perpetrator initially remains a mystery.” – BFI Mar 4, 2024 Full Review
