“Whether I turn out to be the hero of my own story, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these moments must show.”

Never soaring quite as high as Mr Dick’s kites, but consistently delightful and whimsical, with a really great race-blind cast; the epitome of ‘nothing too much’ it’s a movie everyone will like a lot, but perhaps few will really love.

★★★★☆

“They are looking for you. Don’t worry.”

A really wonderful movie about a man’s solitude and perseverance after becoming stranded in the Arctic — an incredible performance, and despite so few words it has you on the edge of your seat, rooting for Mads the entire time.

★★★★☆

“Dig yourselves some pretty little graves, and dig one for your mother, too.”

A very interesting and hauntingly beautiful take on the Grimm fairytale, it’s very dark and dim, but nevertheless incredible to look at — unnerving and inspired, it’s a fabulous update on the classic and worth checking out.

★★★★☆

“He said that wherever I went, he would find me, walk right up to me, and I wouldn’t be able to see him.”

Dark and anxiety-inducing — a brilliantly updated version of the classic monster movie, that bears little resemblance but is all the better for it; great sets, a whip-smart premise, and some unbearably tense moments — incredibly good for the $7MM budget.

★★★★☆

“Repent and you will find salvation”

The film has a weird start that genuinely shocked me and rolls into one of the more tense and devious horror-thrillers I can remember — one that has multiple plausible explanations until the very moment it doesn’t; it’s also shot and edited beautifully.
