Gaslight (1940) 100% EDIT “Nothing like as lavish as the later MGM version with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman, but in its own small-scale way a superior film by far. ” – Time Out Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Night Passage (1957) 50% EDIT “Neilson wades through the good brother/bad brother plot like an ox through mud, Stewart whiling away the time by playing accordion.” – Time Out Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Knight Moves (1992) 17% EDIT “Despite an absurdly convoluted plot predicated on the idea that the hero might be a serial killer, this over-heated and over-stylised thriller is devoid of any real suspense...” – Sight & Sound Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Head-On (2004) 91% 4/5 EDIT “From its stunning opening sequence to its merciless fatalistic conclusion, this is directed with extraordinary confidence and maturity by the 32-year-old Fatih Akin.” – The List Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) 10% 1/5 EDIT “Leaving aside the folly of making a prequel to William Friedkin's 1973 horror classic, this fails on every level. Ninety minutes of tedious exposition give way to a random jumble of horror clichés that rise to a shrill pitch of hysteria.” – The List Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Sharky's Machine (1981) 83% EDIT “Unfortunately, Reynolds the director is as uncertain about the tone of the picture as Reynolds the star is about his screen persona” – Time Out Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) 39% EDIT “Forget the disastrous Hellbound: Hellraiser II; this is adult horror to die for.” – Time Out Nov 7, 2017 Full Review The Divide (2011) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Its nihilism feels cynical rather than authentically bleak, and the increasingly histrionic scenes start to resemble an indulgent actors' workshop that has spun out of control.” – Time Out Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Kon-Tiki (2012) 83% EDIT “The inspiring story of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition makes for an exciting, if slightly old fashioned, maritime adventure movie.” – Film4 Dec 19, 2014 Full Review Stations of the Cross (2014) 93% EDIT “Pared down images and intense, polemical dialogue capture a young girl's struggle to reconcile her personal belief in God with her community's blinkered religious values.” – Film4 Nov 28, 2014 Full Review Honeymoon (2014) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Leslie and Treadaway extract plenty of existential doubt and distressing emotion from what is essentially a claustrophobic two-hander.” – Time Out Sep 23, 2014 Full Review White Settlers (2014) 45% 2/5 EDIT “This rural 'home invasion' movie is gussied up with topical nods to the Scottish independence debate - but horror fans on both sides of the border are likely to vote no.” – Time Out Sep 3, 2014 Full Review Deliver Us From Evil (2014) 29% 2/5 EDIT “An impressively staged climactic exorcism compensates in part for the random, far-fetched storytelling that precedes it.” – Time Out Aug 19, 2014 Full Review Cheap Thrills (2013) 87% 4/5 EDIT “There are satisfying echoes of Stephen King's sly black humour in this deliciously nasty comedy thriller.” – Time Out Jun 3, 2014 Full Review Transcendence (2014) 19% EDIT “An ambitious, old fashioned, ideas-driven science fiction film that is never as mind-expanding as its futuristic images and topical, dystopian ideas seem to promise.” – Film4 Apr 25, 2014 Full Review The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2013) 51% 2/5 EDIT “If you make it as far as the obvious, disappointing denouement, you might be left asking yourself if the filmmakers' abstract style is better suited to short films.” – Time Out Apr 9, 2014 Full Review The Zero Theorem (2013) 49% EDIT “It's dystopia all over again, in an under-funded Terry Gilliam film stuffed with over-familiar ideas and trapped in a claustrophobic, ecclesiastical set.” – Film4 Mar 14, 2014 Full Review Lone Survivor (2013) 75% EDIT “Authentic military detail, generic storytelling and manly patriotism battle it out in a gut-wrenching war movie that celebrates heroism under fire.” – Film4 Jan 31, 2014 Full Review Last Vegas (2013) 45% EDIT “A funny, touching and surprisingly fleet-footed comedy about a quartet of 60-plus male friends who are determined to grow old (dis)gracefully.” – Film4 Jan 10, 2014 Full Review The Railway Man (2013) 67% EDIT “Despite its stodgy storytelling, this respectful cinematic version of ex-POW Eric Lomax's true story succeeds because of Colin Firth's perfect, understated performance.” – Film4 Jan 10, 2014 Full Review Homefront (2013) 42% EDIT “Think a Sly Stallone-scripted action movie starring The Stath is a sure-fire winner? Think again.” – Film4 Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Big Bad Wolves (2013) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Delivering on the promise of 2010's 'Rabies', this is a bleakly funny mash-up comedy about child murder, corruption, torture and the siege mentality” – Time Out Dec 2, 2013 Full Review Young & Beautiful (2013) 73% EDIT “In this tale of sexual awakening, the adolescent Isabelle is often naked and exposed; but we never once get under her skin.” – Film4 Nov 29, 2013 Full Review In Fear (2013) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Grips like a 4x4, even as the escalating tension threatens to spin out of control.” – Time Out Nov 12, 2013 Full Review The Fifth Estate (2013) 35% EDIT “Like WikiLeaks itself, The Fifth Estate collapses under the sheer weight of information and political import bearing down upon it, its human drama crushed by documentary data overload.” – Film4 Oct 11, 2013 Full Review
