film
Prey
Awful Christian missionary survival flick suggests the Devil has all the best films too
Infested
Massive scary spiders - and overly zealous policing - terrorise a Parisian apartment block in this skittery, scuttling debut
Let The Right One In
Another vampire flick to add to the pile.
Encounters At The End Of The World
Werner Herzog delivers another dose of his endearing film making with a look at those strange folk amongst us who chose to live in Antarctica...
Mermaid
A good effort to draw attention to the hapless among us but ends up as one long drink/driving advert.
Man On Wire
A chance to see how Phillippe Petit worked his way up and breached security in order to live out his childhood dream of walking the rope between the two towers. Eerie and compelling viewing.
Black Box Shorts
This years shorts focus on the theme of connection and as always the good come with the bad.
In the City of Sylvia
There’s precious little you can get from this film that you can’t get from sitting in a café yourself, and at least that way you get fresh coffee.
Shiver (Eskalofr
A smorgasboard of characters and incidents from the past ten years of horror movies that surprisingly impresses.
Blood Car
Vile, vile film.
