28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Kelechi Ehenulo
|
The Bone Temple kickstarts 2026 in a special way – a chilling and intensely satisfying sequel. DaCosta, Garland and Boyle make for an outstanding combo that bravely charts the franchise into a bold new direction.

People We Meet on Vacation
(2026)
|
Rebecca Johnson
|
With good central performances from Blyth and Bader, excellent chemistry and a fun jet-setting element to the plot, it proves an enjoyable watch despite the obvious tropes and predictability.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)

Kelechi Ehenulo
|
With parts 4 and 5 inevitable, Avatar: Fire and Ash just about clears its latest hurdle. Time will tell what the franchise’s ultimate legacy will be when it is said and done. But for now, it takes some enjoyable yet uneven steps forward.

Dracula
(2025)
|
Rebecca Johnson
|
With a focus on yearning and romance, and an excellent lead performance, Dracula: A Love Tale nails the elements of gothic horror that viewers long for. However, not all elements work, with an elongated run-time and some tonally inconsistent choices.

The Ice Tower
(2025)
|
William Stottor

In The Ice Tower, Lucile Hadžihalilović (Earwig) blurs the line between reality and dreams with such abandon and flexibility that, in theory, such a line barely exists.

With Wicked: For Good, Chu reaffirms himself as a master of musicals – this spectacular sequel brings the tale to a fitting end of a cinematic triumph, with Erivo and Grande-Butera surely securing nominations in the upcoming awards season.

Whilst a faithful adaptation nevertheless, Edgar Wright’s reimagining is solid enough as an entertaining spectacle, but not memorable enough to live long after the credits roll.

Predator: Badlands
(2025)

To put it simply, it’s a legacy sequel done right, and Badlands is equal parts exciting and thrilling, a cinematic crowdpleaser that showcases the franchise still has plenty of stories and fight within it. Roll on the next hunt.

Tummy Monster

Bristling with pitch-black humour and nervous energy. Its premise may resemble hell for its protagonists. But Ciaran Lyons’ feature-length debut ‘Tummy Monster’ is a cinematic slice of heaven.

Featuring an impressive cast and an even better creepy, uncomfortable atmosphere, Shelby Oaks provides an intriguing mystery and confident scares, though is slightly bogged down by too many ideas, creating a final act that fails to bring it all together.

The Roses

Instead of the sinking ship IP remake this could have easily been, it’s the playfulness that keeps The Roses floating just above the waters. But in adding nothing new, its safe and bizarrely flat execution stops it from being the modern-day classic...

It’s not quite the ‘clobberin time’ it wishes to be, caught between charting something new and reverting back to the MCU’s old, familiar habits. Had it been a little braver, we would have had a film that would have been fantastic.
