As a portrait of the real man, Matt Johnson’s Tony is toothless, but it is remarkably watchable on a moment-to-moment basis.

Reading contemporary reviews of Dead Man’s Shoes, it’s baffling to see some critics found it impenetrable, whether due to its violence or its defiantly localised take on the revenge thriller.

This year’s London Film Festival will open with the European premiere of Elsinore, a biographical drama starring Andrew Scott and Olivia Colman.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson chat with FILMHOUNDS on the SXSW London red carpet.

Jane Schoenbrun has already become a household name in queer cinema with their singular brand of storytelling that is at once hyper-specific to the trans experience, yet thematically universal. Their latest feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival with its world premiere. But now general audiences are revelling in Schoenbrun's horror-tinged world after…

The star power of Dame Joan Collins is the main draw for this arch, Christie-aping murder mystery. The nonagenarian acting royal has prioritised indie films in recent decades, but here she takes a step up to the role of producer. Could her latest creation, Francesca Carlisle, the world’s most successful TV journalist, be the start of a new Marple-sshaped chapter of her career?

Second Sight’s new Blu-ray set is a slimmed-down version of the limited-edition set from a few years ago that collects the whole Ginger Snaps experience. So it's a compact option for existing fans and a great chance for newbies to find out what all the fuss was about. 

After spending much of its first season carefully arranging the pieces, The Agency finally plays its hand in a tense, fast-moving second season that rewards viewers' patience. Season two of The Agency picks up after the explosive finale of its debut season, when Martian (Michael Fassbender) made the fateful decision to betray his country in a desperate attempt to save Dr.

Pixar’s latest, Toy Story 5, is a fun adventure with a thought-out message, but it lacks the magic often found in the studio’s projects.

Toy Story is arguably the household franchise for animation giant Pixar. Fans assumed Toy Story 3 (2010) was the last we’d see of Woody, Buzz and the gang—a fair assumption considering how well Pixar closed out the narrative—but nine years later we got Toy Story 4. And now, it’s Toy Story 5.

“I'm just a cat looking for a connection…” Can Philip Marlowe, the hard-boiled centre of a distinctive, dreamy, and seedy Los Angeles, work in the 1960s? After Raymond Chandler introduced the gumshoe in 1939’s The Big Sleep, a spate of film adaptations lodged him in the shadows of the 1940s. That was an image that stuck until a 22-year break from the screen ended with 1969’s Marlowe bringing him crashing into California during the Vietnam War.

Once in a while, a creature feature or monster movie can surprise you. Not necessarily meaning the story is better than expected or that there is more to the monster or characters than meets the eye, but rather the unexpected forbidding and intense unease that runs through the film, or at least until the climactic ending. That’s Kraken. The mythical legendary monster from the deep, often taking the form of a gigantic octopus or squid combined with other aquatic beasts, usually found in the ocean, but here, we discover it has been minding its own business in the deepest fjord in Norway.

Throughout the years, YouTube has brought us so many delights and has also been used as a learning tool for many. We simply need to search for whatever we need to learn or fix, and we are able to know almost instantly.

Although Virginia Woolf's Night and Day is not one of the author’s most memorable or notable works, this period drama adapted by actress Justine Waddell, seems to have all the makings of a typical story about a woman simply born in the wrong time. However, the film tries to offer far more than what is expected with unsatisfying results.  

Some of us may have had recurring nightmares about being forced back to high school long after we have graduated, forced to be back with our peers, forced to confront our past and reflect on how our lives have turned out. Never Change! tackles that nightmare with a comedic lens when, due to a legal loophole, the class of 2008 must return to high school, all now in their 30’s with a lifetime of baggage underneath them as well as a good handful of teenage angst and worry.

The liminal space between fantasy and reality isn’t just a rich ground for storytelling; it’s arguably all we ever watch. So, it’s a pleasant surprise to watch a film that doesn’t so much make a meal of it as a deliciously dark feast.
