"This is the template for many films, including The Magnificent Seven. The story is a brilliant construction, and the path of the heroes is eternally inspiring. Kurosawa directs action like no other. It’s an awe-inspiring film."

A slow burner
A fantastic but disturbing story about a small town in New Zealand, following Robin Griffin as she returns home to visit her ill mother but is pulled onto a case when a 12-year-old girl is found (alive) in a lake. There are plenty of twists and turns throughout and there's an intensity that's slowly bubbling away.

At times it does get a bit slow and at the beginning it can be hard to get into, but the brilliant cast of actors - led by the absolutely fantastic Elizabeth Moss - keep it going and turn it into something brilliant. Some of the characters are disturbing but believable and it winds up to an eventful finale.

A brilliant modern day zombie film. I've not seen the original yet, but this has the same appeal as 28 days later. A great cast, modern take on the genre with good gorey effects. Well worth checking out.

Slightly unusual take on the young friends do a seance at a party story. It's a bit slow for the first half of the film but it gets better so it's worth sticking with. Not Brilliant but good.

I love this creepy podcast full of folklore & fable! The narrators voice gets a bit grating at times, but overall a great listen to anyone who likes traditional stories.
