Review in Brief: Titane (2021)

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

TITANE, isn’t that the car-f***ing movie? Yes, and so much more. Writer-director Julia Ducornau (RAW) has, within five years, unleashed on the world two of the most transcendent, bold and both warm and messed up films of the 21st century … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Last Night in Soho (2021)

Posted on November 5, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Edgar Wright’s latest is another dazzling, musically-lead genre cocktail that might not feel quite as singular as BABY DRIVER but still demonstrates that he is the best there is at this sort of thing. Thomasin McKenzie is Eloise, a fashion … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Candyman (2021)

Posted on September 5, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

You have to respect Nia DaCosta’s CANDYMAN for going hard, not going home. In this belated sequel to the 1992 film, struggling artist (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his curator girlfriend (Teyonah Parris) living in the gentrified area of Chicago previously … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Werewolves Within (2021)

Posted on July 31, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

WEREWOLVES WITHIN is an absolute treat for horror-comedy fans, and cements Josh Ruben as a new master of meta scares. Not many horrors would open with a Mr Rogers quote, but it works creepily, atonally well. Believe it or not … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

Posted on June 7, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Certainly less lean and no-nonsense than the first instalment and too reliant on stupid horror movie characters acting like stupid horror movie characters, A QUIET PLACE PART II is still a mostly solid follow-up. After a pretty breathtaking opening flashback … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

Make no mistake, SPIRAL is a SAW movie, it’s not a bold new direction for the franchise. Bafflingly someone says at one point “Jigsaw didn’t target cops”, which makes you wonder how closely people have been watching the other films … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: Willy’s Wonderland (2021)

Posted on May 24, 2021 by Sam Sewell-Peterson

WILLY’S WONDERLAND is proof positive that nobody needs to make a FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S movie now. Nicolas Cage is a silent janitor with borderline superhuman capabilities seemingly imbued by energy drinks fighting animatronic mascots possessed by a cannibal cult. … Continue reading →
