[Film Review] Redux Redux (2025)

Redux Redux comes to streaming off the back of a fair amount of hype after playing several festivals, including South by Southwest, where it had its premiere as part of their Midnighter strand last year. Festival hype is, of course, always to be taken with a grain of salt, but in the case of Redux Redux, it feels very warranted.

[Film Review] The Convenience Store (2026)

Anyone who’s ever spent any time in Japan will likely be familiar with the allure of the convenience store. The humble konbini is so much more than just a place to buy cheap coffee and cigarettes – it’s a beacon aglow on even the darkest of nights, where a fluffy egg sando or crisp sliver of Famichiki awaits, the convenience store serves as a reminder that you are never too far from creature comforts, and the company of another human being.

[Film Review] Red Riding (2026)

Fairy tales and horror almost go hand in hand; from a young age, we read cautionary tales, warning us about whom we should trust and, in Little Red Riding Hood’s case, to ‘beware of the Big Bad Wolf’. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that we see horror filmmakers take these stories and adapt them to the big screen with their own spin on the classic tales.

[Film Review] Before Heated Rivalry, There Was Good Neighbours (2010)

Like Heated Rivalry, Good Neighbours shows Tierney’s ability to creep into a character’s mind (and heart – if they have one) and subtly reveal their thoughts and emotions on screen. However, the trio he focuses on for Good Neighbours is made up of people whose brutality is shocking and whose empathy is missing.

[Film Review] A Desert (2024)

Following his decades working in film preservation, Joshua Erkman stepped behind the camera in his 2024 directorial debut, A Desert – a viciously bleak exploration of fading optimism in the US, urban paranoia, and decay set in a nightmarish world that is almost too much to look at.
