Movie Review: Spiral Director: Darren Lynn Bousman
Spiral brings something different to the Saw franchise than the usual death-game twist-a-roo trickery, but the resulting film is a failed copycat attempt at playing copycat itself.

Movie Review: Those Who Wish Me Dead
Those Who Wish Me Dead is three action films for the price of one, but the forest-fire ultimate survivor narrative quickly stretches the width of an ocean with the depth of a puddle.
Movie Review: Wrath of Man Directed by Guy Ritchie
Wrath of Man, the latest thriller from director Guy Ritchie, starring the never-emotive Jason Statham, delivers a delightful two solid hours of heists, retribution and a daunting body count.
Film Review: First Cow – Director: Kelly Reichardt
First Cow – America in the early nineteenth century and the Land of Opportunity seems wide open and promising for two young men who bond in a moment of danger and adversity. They strike upon an unlikely path to wealth but there is always a sense that somehow fate won’t allow it.

Film Review: Demon Slayer: Mugen Train
With its immediately captivating and brilliantly paced storyline, bolstered by established, fleshed-out characters and exceptional voice-acting, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is an absolute dream for fans of anime and the Demon Slayer series, while remaining accessible and wildly entertaining for newcomers to the series or genre.
Film Review: Wrong Turn (2021)

This Town is the latest film by New Zealand writer and director David White, an absurdist mockumentary comedy set in a fictional small NZ town. It has Robyn Malcolm as Pam, an ex-cop, belting out potential evidence on her trusty dot matrix from her garage office. Director: David White Cast: David White, Robyn Malcolm, Rima Te Wiata
Movie Review: Relic (NZIFF 2020)
Relic is often as infuriating as it is terrifying, with exquisite set pieces and visuals flattened by inconsistency and an original, horrifying story left hanging in the land of potential through a weak, forgettable script.
