    Wolf Man

    ★★★★★

    A stern, regimental father takes his young son into the Oregon wilderness to hunt. The views are truly breathtaking…but danger and threat lurks menacingly amongst the beautiful flora and fauna. 

    Naturally the young boy is a day dreamer and his father harshly admonishes him for not paying attention; ‘If you don’t do what I say you’ll get hurt’ he seethes at his terrified son.

    To a degree he’s right; it’s a mean world and our guardians want to keep us…

    ★★½

    Kind of like The Purge but with snarling lycanthropes terrorising the neighbourhood rather than disgruntled miscreants, Werewolves is a reasonable waste of 90 minutes 

    Sadly despite an intriguing premise ripe for some cheap, undemanding thrills, director Steven C.Miller struggles to integrate exposition into his busy, unfolding story and the result is rather messy.

    John David Washington is ‘The Protagonist’, a somber CIA operative embroiled in top secret international espionage. At the outset he is trying to retrieve a mysterious artefact, but after being apprehended by mercenaries and the…

    The Witch

    ★★★★★

    Robert Eggers’ arcane debut is a stunning, chilling celebration of the female form and all the toxic, hostile negativity that goes along with it. 

    As is often, many hold in contempt that what they don’t understand and burgeoning femininity continues to baffle the wilfully ignorant, even today.

    In 1630 New England, puritanical settler William and his young family - including pre-pubescent daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) - make their farmstead on the edge of some rather foreboding woods. 

    They have effectively…
