Trigger Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW London is wonderfully realised – even from the back of a cab – by high-quality production and inventive visual storytelling. The lights of the city giving way to the unlit suburbs marks for a telling tonal shift, as the story literally and figuratively gets darker. The positioning of the camera in the early scenes gives the impression that the viewers are sat opposite the women in the cab, bringing the audience into their situation effectively.

Watch Hollow at the 2022 UK Film Review Festival. See the UKFRF 2022 lineup and buy your festival pass. Hollow Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The main subject here is one's desire to get even. The film suggests that the idea of revenge will not bring peace, but will instead create more suffering for those who pursue it. This is not a pleasant viewing, but it is a powerful story, with strong emotions and deserves a lot of praise. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.

Directed by Simon Stone and based on the book The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, the film comes to Netflix on October 10th 2025. . Brand new film trailers. The Woman in Cabin 10 Directed by Simon Stone and based on the book The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, the film comes to Netflix on October 10th 2025. While on board a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger thrown overboard late at night, only to be told that it didn't happen, as all passengers and crew are accounted for. Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger. Based on the bestselling novel The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. The new Netflix movie stars Keira Knightley in the leading role, alongside other stars including Guy Pearce, David Ajala, Art Malik, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, Daniel Ings And Hannah Waddingham, Gitte Witt, Christopher Rygh, Pippa Bennett-Warner, John MacMillan, Paul Kaye, Amanda Collin, and Lisa Loven Kongsli. The writers who have brought The Woman in Cabin 10 to the silver screen are Joe Shrapnel & Anna Waterhouse, and Simon Stone. Best known for films like 2015's The Daughter, and 2021's film The Dig (starring Carey Mulligan), Simon Stone has a strong filmography as both a director and actor. Paper Tiger The Paper Tiger trailer suggests a searing, deeply moving examination of ambition, guilt, and the toxic pursuit of the American Dream. Ink The newly dropped trailer for Ink confirms those expectations, delivering a relentless, kinetic glimpse into Fleet Street's most disruptive era. The Social Reckoning Seeing the first teaser trailer drop for its spiritual companion piece, The Social Reckoning, sent an absolute chill down my spine. Focker-in-Law If the film can sustain the frantic, competitive energy displayed in this preview, Focker-In-Law might just be the rarest of cinematic beasts: a comedy sequel that actually manages to justify its own existence. We are officially on high alert. Heart of the Beast Heart of the Beast looks like a gripping, tear-jerking cinematic triumph that will resonate with action fans and animal lovers alike. We will definitely be front and centre with our popcorn when this one hits the big screen! Klara and the Sun Klara and the Sun looks like a heart-wrenching, beautifully acted triumph that will linger in the mind long after the curtains close. Power Ballad What has us incredibly excited about Power Ballad is the dynamic friction between its two leads. Paul Rudd seems perfectly cast as the rugged, everyday musician who just wanted a shot at the big time, acknowledging with a heavy heart that having his name on a song of that magnitude would have completely changed his life. The Debut UK Film Review hasn't yet seen the final curtain rise on this one, but if the film matches the sheer dramatic potency of its trailer, The Debut is set to be a staggering, must-see cinematic triumph. One Night Only One Night Only looks to be a sharp, subversively funny, and emotionally resonant look at how we connect when time is running out. It takes a wild, satirical premise and uses it to explore a timeless question: Who would you choose if you only had one night? Supergirl As we look toward the 2026 release, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow stands as a testament to the new direction of DC Studios. Masters of the Universe With the arrival of the first trailer for the 2026 reboot of Masters of the Universe, the cinematic landscape prepares for a collision of sword, sorcery, and surprisingly, suburban Earth. Wild Foxes Dune: Part Three Picking up roughly seventeen years after the seismic events of Part Two, the trailer immediately signals a shift in tone. While the first film was an act of world-building and the second a visceral war epic, Dune: Part Three—an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah—looks to be a far more claustrophobic and tense affair. In The Grey Scary Movie 6 The horror-comedy world is officially being turned upside down as the first trailer for Scary Movie 6 has finally arrived, marking a monumental return for the franchise that defined a generation of parody cinema. Empire of Lies Empire of Lies arrives in UK cinemas and on digital platforms on 27th March. Undertone Undertone is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Friday, March 13th, 2025. If the trailer is anything to go by, we suggest you keep the lights on and perhaps think twice before pressing play on your next favourite podcast. The Moment The Land of Sometimes Twins Alfie and Elise find a magical Wish Watch on Christmas Eve and are swept by the Wish Collector into the musical Land of Sometimes, where they learn that wishes have consequences. Avengers: Doomsday Fans are elated at the release of the first teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Set for a theatrical release on 18th December 2026, find out more here.

Corey Bulloch writes movie reviews for UK Film Critic. As one of the talented UK film critics, find out more here. Corey Bulloch With a lifelong passion for cinema and a degree in film production from the University for the Creative Arts, writing film reviews seemed inevitable. I have been writing reviews for my own website since April 2019 but am looking forward to expanding and learning at UK Film Review. My review style mostly examines how the technical aspects and narrative blend together to deliver the best cinematic experience but I always open-minded about how a film tries different ways to tell a story. My favourite film is The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) it was the film that started my obsession with movies and filmmaking, and while I have seen many other amazing films since then, Jack Skellington’s adventure has always had a special place in my heart. Glad to be part of the team and hope my reviews help you find your next favourite film.

Plant Life Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The main totem of this loss is a plant they got together, which he now wants her to care for. He speaks to the plant as though it will speak back, their communication clearly intended to replace that of his previous relationship. The breakdown of communication between him and his ex is partly supplemented by trying to act out the feelings he has towards her. “What are you looking at?” he asks it frustratedly, evidently taking out some misplaced anger. Contrasting this, he then plays guitar for it, expressing some romanticism and love. The acoustics are rich and warm, filling the empty space with something more lively.

Zombie Beach Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW Shot in a flickering, grainy mix of colour and monochrome it has the look of a classic 70s B movie. That in itself is no bad thing as it will help secure cult status. That is the real test for any film shot with a modest budget; can it create a unique aura that will attract a sufficient fan base? It certainly has the potential with strong imagery and a clean soundtrack. There is also an entertaining climax to the piece, which raises this film above the standard offering of similar efforts in this genre. This is a solid piece that demonstrates a complete understanding of the horror genre. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.

You’ll be praying for check out time on 2nd April.. Brand new film trailers. The Night trailer A cross between The Shining and The Haunting of Hill House, THE NIGHT is set over a long dark night in a mysterious hotel, where a young couple are tormented by ghosts of the past. An outstanding debut feature from writer/director Kourosh Ahari, featuring fantastic lead performances from Shahab Hosseini (A Separation), and Niousha Noor (Here and Now), the film is soaked in dread and delivers some genuinely hair-raising horror moments. THE NIGHT is filmed in an LA hotel actually alleged to be haunted, which makes The Shining’s Overlook seem positively welcoming; Ahari’s nerve-jangler is a brilliantly gripping and nightmarish vision by a masterful new talent - with an ending M. Night Shyamalan would kill for. If you were glued to Netflix’s The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, be sure to make your reservations now for a night with THE NIGHT. You’ll jump right out of your complimentary bathrobe. With The Night, director Kourosh Ahari made history for being the first U.S. produced film to receive a license for theatrical release in Iran since the revolution. The psychological thriller follows in the footsteps of The Shining, luring viewers into a hotel that is both ominous and inviting, where the ghosts of the past still linger around each corner. The terrors that linger in the corridors are more real and terrifying than any movie monster in a mask. The Night will make you never want to spend a night away from home again.
