The life of a Silent Hill fan is a turbulent one. For every Silent Hill 3, there’s a Silent Hill: Homecoming. For every Silent Hill 2 Remake, there’s a Silent Hill: Ascension. For every Silent Hill f, there’s a Return to Silent Hill, and thus, the pendulum continues to swing, this time into frustrating - but expected - disappointment.

What if evolution wasn’t finished with us? That’s the question at the heart of Flights of Reverie (2025), the feature debut of director Li Wallis. The film sees British ornithologist Jack Hastings (John Dooley) travel to Berlin, which has been gripped by paranoia following several mysterious deaths.

Confessions in Static is an exploration of the True Crime genre, and its ethics and effects on society, but it fails to deliver that message in a satisfying or novel way.

Overall, Stalker is a pretty solid short film with some very tense moments and an excellent performance from its lead actress. It’s not perfect, and some of the deeper stuff went over my head, but I’m glad I watched it. I think it’ll stick with me for a while, even if I’m still not sure what it all meant.

There is something paradoxical about the idea of a weekend getaway, searching for comfort by taking ourselves out of our comfort zones. Perhaps the change of scenery, a disruption in routine, an escape from the pressures of our daily lives, will reveal to us a path towards solitude.

The Bone Temple is the sequel to 28 Years Later that we deserve. Director Nia DaCosta took the beauty and spectacle that Danny Boyle gave us with 28 Years Later and turned it up to eleven. It’s darker, more disturbing and more… camp? Deliciously, delightfully camp.

The atmosphere seeping from every pore of this film is certainly its biggest strength; however, the narrative and structure fall quite short of the intended impact.

According to the opening credits of the film, the Darknet is a place feverishly depraved to the point of questioning if humanity even exists, with a slathering of heinous crimes committed all for the purchase and pleasure of the sick individuals that find themselves beholden to their inner most sadistic wants.

If you know me at all, you know that I love, as many people do, the work of Nic Cage. Live by the Cage, die by the Cage. So, when the opportunity to review this came up, I jumped at it.

When V/H/S first hit our screens in 2012, nobody could have foreseen that 11 years later we’d be on our sixth instalment (excluding the two spinoffs) of the series.
