Severance: Season 2 (2025) Cre: Dan Erickson
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVv25jjDeG_/?igsh=anllNGZ6c2U0M2Yz Dan Erickson's Apple TV original series 'Severance' made waves when it first hit the streaming service in 2022, but I didn't watch it until this second season was already up. As such, I didn't arrive at this follow-up until a little while later, but my excitement had only increased, having enjoyed that first season a lot. If there's one way to grab an audience, it's to hit them with something unex

Mama (2013) Dir: Andy Muschietti
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVtHEktDJ7q/?igsh=MXJlaDZ6azE0MWl3NA== I have had this 2013 horror film sat on my shelf waiting to be watched for years now, but it was only recently that I finally sat down to watch it. The film was directed by Andy Muschietti, director of both 'It' films, written by Muschietti and his wife Barbara Muschietti, who also produced the film, and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro. With so many talented names involved, it gave me

The Bride! (2026) Dir: Maggie Gylenhaal
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVqitUpDYJA/?igsh=NnIyNWhvZTBhd3Ni Maggie Gyllenhaal's much anticipated modern take on 'The Bride Of Frankenstein' immediately attracted my interest when it wad announced, not just because it had a superb cast and a talented director, but because it looked to be a fresh and unique take on some classic horror characters. I was even more excited when I saw the trailers for the film, which made clear that this really was something diff

Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined (2026) Dir: Mark C. Eshleman
Before this experience, I had never seen either a concert film at the cinema, or been to an Imax screening of any kind. So, in many ways, this was a big deal for me. I have been a fan of the band 'Twenty One Pilots' for a number of years now, and the opportunity to see them peform some of my favourite songs in glorious Imax was too good an opportunity to miss. This particular film was directed by Mark C. Eshleman, and depicted the band's huge Mexico City show, which had sixty

Haunting Of The Queen Mary (2023) Dir: Gary Shore
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVoFeKvjYxd/?igsh=YzNlZDY1YnJmNzU= This Gary Shore directed supernatural mystery horror is not a film that I would have watched, under normal circumstances, but a friend choosing it at a social gathering was as good an excuse as any for me to see if it was any good. I did have a quick peak at the Letterboxd rating prior to it starting, and was not particularly enthused, but sometimes a film can surprise you, so I decided to be optim

Clown In A Cornfield (2025) Dir: Eli Craig
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVlZJUAjbxt/?igsh=MjV1d3Ryam55ZjV1 When trailers dropped for this Eli Craig directed clown horror, based on the 2020 horror novel by Adam Cesare, it seemed to have all the makings of a fun, silly, and for those of us who are freaked put by evil clowns; scary, horror film. I had kept an eye on it since then, and whilst the reviews have been, generally speaking, fairly middling, I still thought it would be worth my time to check it ou

The Nun 2 (2023) Dir: Michael Chaves
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVgV4tQjagG/?igsh=MWNxdzZ4dWJrb2pj I recently worked my way through all four of the main 'Conjuring' films, and whilst they aren't amazing, they were all at least fairly entertaining. I then decided to move onto the expanded cinematic universe, starting with 'The Nun' , before now moving onto this sequel. It was directed by Michael Chaves, who also directed the third and fourth 'Conjuring' films, which gave me a little hope, aft

The Rip (2026) Dir: Joe Carnahan
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVdrUbMDVKR/?igsh=cHU3NTdmZGY4OXBz Typically speaking, I'm either a big fan of a cop film, or I'm really, really, not. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this Netflix original cop thriller, which was directed by Joe Carnahan, but I quite liked that near-lifelong friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were teaming up to make another film together. Reviews have been, generally speaking, quite middling for the film, so my expectation

The Pyramid (2014) Dir: Grègory Levasseur
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVbE1JuDWJn/?igsh=ODN6bzJhdHB2MTQ2 Directed by Grègory Levasseur, this 2014 horror was another one of those slightly random films that had been sat on one of my many watchlists for quite a while. It does not have particularly encouraging reviews, but I still wanted to watch it, mainly because it sounded like it could be a bit of goofy fun. Plus, I actually don't hate the premise of a mysterious pyramid with something horrifying with
