Whistle (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Whistle isn't a comedy but it certainly made me laugh. That said, it also has a few nicely choreographed scares and should keep even the most fearless of you well away from Aztec death whistles for the foreseeable future” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Glossy heist thrillers need exciting car chases as much as they need relentless throbbing music, and Crime 101 offers both. Not much of it adds up, but watching it fail to add up is modest fun.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 14, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “It's a tough watch, but on the whole an impressive debut by Stewart.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 82% EDIT “It's splendidly acted.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “James Sweeney's dark but touching relationship comedy is a treat. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “This film is not for everyone, but it swept me along on a wave of what, by the end, felt like exhilaration.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 60% 2/5 EDIT “It's less Wuthering Heights, more Fifty Shades of Grimm.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 11, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Amid all the extreme gore there is genuine suspense.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The strings and percussion sections of an unseen orchestra do relentless battle to see which can more forcefully remind us we're watching an exciting action thriller.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Kangaroo (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Kangaroo is an engaging, bittersweet and indeed bouncy tale.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Linklater sets the scene and tells the story with so much joy that it will reel you in, whether or not you are familiar with Godard’s work.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “Long before the end, Is This Thing On? had turned me off.” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 2/5 EDIT “It's all very nicely and tastefully done, and modestly touching, but a little dirge-like. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The story does not unfold as I expected, but then grief rarely does. Which might be the whole point. Whatever, it’s a very worthwhile film, with a superb performance from Foy at its heart.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It is superbly acted throughout by a splendid cast.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “There are glimmers of suspense as we try to guess who the bent cops might be, because the formula decrees that there must be at least one.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Almost all the performances in this film are very good. It's the narrative that hits the odd bum note.” – Daily Mail (UK) Jan 5, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “The Housemaid is worth seeing for anyone who likes their thrillers high in saturated fat.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “While touching on dark themes such as antisemitism and even the Holocaust, Safdie has an almost indecent amount of fun with all this.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Cameron overdoes it. The narrative becomes turgid and repetitive. ” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Lurker (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Excruciatingly tense, this is a brilliantly assured directorial debut from Alex Russell.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Filmmaker Mike P. Nelson injects some welcome twists, including a Hallmark style romance involving Ruby Modine (daughter of Matthew). And if his holiday horror falls short as regards humour and scares, be assured it delivers sackloads of gore.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 1/5 EDIT “The story-telling is an absolute dog’s breakfast.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 2/5 EDIT “On the whole Fackham Hall, like a flatulent family retriever in the drawing-room, is best ignored.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “This is all very capably acted, but in the end the story is perturbingly glib in the way it addresses such weighty themes.” – Daily Mail (UK) Dec 13, 2025 Full Review
