Review: Maniac

While it’s possible to review Maniac without revealing too much, commenting on any plot details frankly feels like it would detract from the viewing experience. So, I’ll be avoiding all spoilers and if you want to truly enjoy this series, watch it like I did, with no background information. From the acclaimed director of Beasts of No […]

Review: Slender Man
25th September 2018

Review: Slender Man

One of the simplest ways to realise what you think about a film is to ask how it made you feel. In the case of this sluggish, ugly, and disassembled product known as the Slender Man movie, I just feel unequivocally angry. At one point during the film, I found myself demanding that it make […]

20th September 2018

Originally a short film, then a documentary and, finally, a fictional story based on reality, Skate Kitchen is the brainchild of director Crystal Moselle and all-girl, New York-based skate collective […]

14th September 2018

Review: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is a wonderfully cringe-worthy film and reminiscent of the fleeting yet intense crushes we all have had, and still have. The film, based on the book by Jenny Han, was released on Netflix in August 2018. The film follows a 16-year-old, Lara-Jean, as she tries to navigate the […]

Review: The Meg

Shark cliches galore, The Meg is an unfortunate cash grab which is not the blockbuster that the original shark films of the 1970s were, writes James Gill
