Dir: Athina Rachel Tsangari Starring: Ariane Labed, Vangelis Mourikis, Evangelia Randou, Giorgos Lanthimus The Film: Even though the films are quite different, I can’t help but refer to Dogtooth with this review.

DVD Review: The Bomber [M15]
Dir: Vitaliy Vorobiov Starring: Nikita Yefremov, Yekaterina Astakhova, Aleksandr Daydov The Film: Films about WWII are a plenty, that entire film sub-genre has many interesting films and those that aren’t so good.

DVD Review: Escapee [M15]
Dir: Campion Murphy Starring: Dominic Purcell, Faith Ford, Christine Evangelista, Scott Elrod The Film: Escapee is a film with some interesting ideas, but it is very predictable and full of typical clichés.

Dir: Kelly Smith Starring: Sophie Linfield, Sam Hazeldine, Gordon Alexander The Film: From the get go we know we’re in for something gruesome, as the opening credit sequence tells us with Don’t Let Him In.

DVD Review: Esoterica [MA15]
Dir: Sam Barrett Starring: James Helm, Karen Barrett, Ben Brown, Arielle Gray The Film: Esoterica is a film that I think will strike some people as being rather odd within the first 10 minutes. It kind of is if you aren’t too sure what it is about, but if you are a film noir fan … Continue reading

DVD Review: Anuvahood [M15]
Dir: Adam Deacon, Daniel Toland Starring: Adam Deacon, Femi Oyeniran, Ollie Barbieri, Jaime Winstone The Film: Anuvahood is an odd film, and it really isn’t something easy to write a review about.

DVD Review: 22nd Of May [MA15]
Dir: Koen Mortier Starring: Sam Louwyck, François Beukelaers, Titus De Voogdt The Film: 22nd Of May will certainly go down as one of the more unique films I have seen recently.
