Hokum Review – A Haunting Descent into Folklore Horror
A slow-burn folklore horror elevated by masterful tension, atmosphere, and a compellingly fractured lead. Hokum sees director Damian McCarthy continue to carve out his lane in folklore-infused horror, following the eerie success of Oddity. Set within the confines of a remote Irish hotel steeped in myth, the film blends supernatural dread with grounded human unease…

Exit 8 Review – A Looping Nightmare With Human Depth
Video game adaptations are everywhere right now, but Exit 8 is one I genuinely didn’t expect. What began as a short, minimalist indie horror game doesn’t exactly scream “feature-length film” – and yet, this adaptation finds something worth exploring. Released in 2023, the original game traps you in a looping Japanese subway station. The objective…

Michael Review: A Safe Biopic Elevated by Jafaar Jackson
A formulaic biopic elevated by Jafaar Jackson’s uncanny transformation and electrifying musical moments. The critical reception to Michael feels a tad overblown and disconnected from my actual viewing experience. It is without a doubt a very sanitised and safe biopic, feeling more like a celebration of the King of Pop, instead of an exploration of…

Pizza Movie Review – A Throwback to the Better Days of Comedy
There’s something immediately familiar about Pizza Movie. Within the first ten minutes, it feels like you’ve been transported back to the early 2000s – those scrappy, chaotic stoner comedies that didn’t care how ridiculous they were, as long as they made you laugh. It doesn’t quite reach the highs of Superbad or Pineapple Express, but…

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review
2023’s The Super Mario Movie was a fun film for kids and adults alike, offering great visuals, vibrant animation, and a lot of charm. It didn’t quite stand out, especially considering the quality of animated films these days, but it was an enjoyable time nonetheless. It’s disappointing, then, that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie feels…

Project Hail Mary Review | Ryan Gosling Shines in This Space Epic
In 2015, Ridley Scott’s The Martian was released. With a script from Drew Goddard, based on the book by Andy Weir, it was quietly one of the best films of the decade. Over a decade later and the two have reunited for Weir’s third book, Project Hail Mary. In a similar fashion, the film follows…

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Gives First Look at Peter’s Mutating Powers and a More Confident Spidey
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here, and it looks spectacular. After one of the weirdest trailer releases in recent memory (dropping two-second clips online, really?), Sony has at last given us a proper look at this new era for the iconic Webhead. Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is focused on his…

Screen Time – March 2026
There’s no shortage of media to absorb these days. It feels like there’s something new dropping every week. If there’s one thing I’m extremely good at, it’s starting things and adding them straight to the backlog. Games, shows, movies – my backlog is constantly growing faster than I can actually get through it. So, I…
