Rating: ★★★★
Dec 16, 2003Time-Travelling Killer Androids
The first sequel to The Terminator where James Cameron returns with the biggest budget for a film at the time. Cameron harnesses then top-drawer CGI technology to create one of the most original nemeses in any SF film

Nov 16, 2001Alien Abduction/"True Story"
Film based on a true-life claim about a supposed alien abduction. This probably won't convince anybody who does not already believe but it is undeniably a well-made film, at its most striking when we go aboard the UFO

Jan 6, 2005Videogame Adaptation/Future Martial Arts
Disappointing adaptation of the arcade videogame. The game is premised on mindless martial arts action but the film pitches everything down to pre-teen audiences and make the two brother protagonists into dorks

Jun 24, 2007Magic World of Childhood Imagination
Made by Walden Media following the success of their The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, a well-made adaptation of a Christian children's book even if it sits uncertainly between gentle realism and the push to make it a fantasy film

Nov 14, 2009US Army's Psychic Warfare Division Comedy
Film based on the supposed Psychic Warfare Division of the US Army. Based on a non-fiction book, this is played by director Grant Heslov as a broad farce and sits on an uncertain line as to whether the powers are real

Jan 10, 2016Masked Children Pursue a Girl on Halloween Night
The return of director of Pontypool should be anticipated. But this kills a near-foolproof premise – masked children come after a heroine on Halloween night wanting her unborn baby – with a pink lighting scheme

Lost After Dark (2015)
Rating: ★★★
May 3, 2017Homage to the 1980s Slasher Film
2015 saw Final Girl and The Final Girls conducting some amazing deconstructions of the slasher film. Overlooked among these was this, which doesn't set out to parody, deconstruct or subvert the tropes, rather is just a well-made and affectionate homage to the genre's 1980s heyday
