In a year that's given us a host of great performances from women in horror, Marks is up there with the best. Recensie

If the lack of nuance keeps us from becoming fully engaged with the overall narrative, Hitchcock's skill in crafting individual sequences means there is plenty to keep us gripped in The Ring. Recensie

As you would expect, Dupieux has once again come up with an arresting premise, but the French auteur takes what might have been a winning formula for a comedy of manners and derails it with the sort of meta elements that no longer feel fresh in 2024. Recensie

Between Bouzerau's penetrative analysis and Mitchell's vocal cheerleading, Becoming Hitchcock may well have you programming your own Hitchcock season when the credits roll. Recensie

This lack of passion in the storytelling jars with the soapiness of the plot. For all its sombre seriousness, Conclave is a very silly movie, and it's to its detriment that it refuses to accept that it's really just Dallas in the Vatican with JR (the traditionalists) battling Bobby (the liberals) over who gets to inherit Southfork.

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl marks the acting debut of Zambian-British model Chardy, who comes out of the gate with one of the year's most engaging performances. Recensie

With The Man in the White Van Skeels has created less a love letter to '70s American horror cinema, more a heavy breathing phone call that will unnerve you in how it plays out its terror in an everyday setting. Recensie

For all Van Dien's gamey performance, Ella just isn't a compelling protagonist, and you might find yourself wishing the film had rejected its Young Adult trappings in favour of something darker ala Species or Cronenberg's Rabid. If you have pangs for a gripping sci-fi thriller, you won't get your fix here. Recensie

Even in the early scenes before Eric has conceived of his film, it often feels like we're watching the actors rather than their characters, and there are moments where their stifled smirks betray a sense that it's just two bored creative people having a lark. Recensie

Bustamente is keen to point the finger of blame at the entire adult world that has failed girls like Rita, for whom there is sadly no fairy-tale ending. Recensie

Your Monster brushes up against some uncomfortable truths regarding relationships, but it ultimately sweeps them aside for a broadly played slay queen fantasy. Recensie

It lacks awe-inspiring visuals, a commanding central performance, entertaining villains and a narrative we can get behind from the start. Like the real life Coliseum, it's impressive that it got made, but Gladiator II leaves us dreaming about the past. Recensie

A small miracle of a film, Colin Hickey's intensely personal Perennial Light, with its elegiac musings on existence, death and time, provides a profound cinematic experience. Recensie

By the time Stockholm Bloodbath decides to make some serious and timely points we've lost interest in its parade of cartoonish stereotypes. Recensie

Arnold's latest is so filled with exuberant adolescent energy that you can't help but get wrapped up in its messy charms, and in Adams we're witnessing a starling hatch from her shell. Recensie

The movie is almost single-mindedly interested in Canelli, and it's credit to Robinson's immense screen presence that such a nihilistic figure keeps us engaged. Recensie

It's remarkable then that it fluffs its lines so badly and fails to exploit the claustrophobic tension of its initial setup. I'd wait for the next one if I were you. Recensie

Everyone can enjoy seeing a woman scorned standing up for herself, and this embittered housewife serves her revenge piping hot, straight out of the oven. Recensie

Despite its fantastical elements, some of which might even be dismissed as silly by less forgiving viewers, Meanwhile on Earth always feels grounded thanks to the relatable and recognisable nature of its tragedy. Recensie

If Kennedy can create so much tension and mine so many awkward laughs in the limited setting of a country pub, I look forward to seeing what he might be capable of creating if a producer puts more than a pound in his pocket. Recensie

What's most laudable about Woods and Beck's film is how it may lead some viewers to question their own belief systems, regardless of which side of the fence they're on. Recensie
