Return to Silent Hill
(2026)
|
Paul Klein
|
The worst thing is, Silent Hill 2 is the type of story that could make for a great psychological horror film. But Gans doesn't get the appeal of the original game.

Hostages
(2025)
|
Katie Hogan
|
Heavily relying on its hit-or-miss dry comedic dialogue, the absurdity of the situation and its characters' ability to sustain engagement, all these elements thrown together don't quite come together.

Pike River
(2025)
|
Paul Klein
|
it's a quietly powerful examination of the devastation corporate greed can bring upon people and how bonds that are formed through shared pain can be powerful enough to enact change – including changing the government.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Paul Klein
|
There are few other films with perfectly timed jump scares likely to linger in the memory, brutal scenes of torture, humanistic looks at fear-mongering, and Ralph Fiennes singing Duran Duran's Girls on Film.

Possession

Rebecca Sayce

From start to finish, Żuławski blends dreamlike sequences with starkly bleak scenes of marital drama that remain as horrific today as they were 40 years ago.

100 Nights of Hero
(2025)
|
Katie Hogan
|
100 Nights of Hero teaches us the power of storytelling and how stories themselves can be twisted by some for their own gain. Stories are from one perspective, and if a story is so powerful, it can be passed into legend.

Preparation for the Next Life

Even the most hardened viewer will find it difficult not to empathise with these characters. Preparation for the Next Life is a sombre yet engaging film carried by a star-making turn from Behtiyar.

Folktales

At its core, Folktales is about connecting to how people lived centuries ago; one teacher says this is the teenagers' opportunity to "wake up their stone age brain."

The Ice Tower
(2025)

With some fantastic visuals throughout and strong performances, those who have appreciated Hadzihalilovic's previous films will enjoy this story. It's certainly a film of a different calibre, a haunting and unnerving fairy-tale.

Roofman is worth seeing in spite of the absurdity of the true story: it's one of kindness, heart, and a real testament to the human spirit. This is storytelling of old; this is cinema for the soul.

The real world, the entire tone and style, feels like it's part of a fairy tale. Thankfully, as this is one of Burton's early films, it isn't about style over substance; the story is as weird and wonderful as the backdrop.
