Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, 2026)⭐⭐

2019's Ready Or Not was a gleefully nasty action/horror/comedy in which newlywed Grace (Samara Weaving) was ritually hunted in a game of hide & seek by her new husband's family. The final act twist was that the ritual was genuinely supernatural and their failure to kill Grace meant the entire bloodline exploded in a fountain of gore at the displeasure of 'Mr Le Bail', who was implied to be Satan Himself.

Thrash (Tommy Wirkola, 2026)⭐⭐

A fun creature feature/disaster flick from the director of the awesome Dead Snow (2009), the incredible The Trip (2021) and the also-a-film Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) among others.

Crime 101 (Bart Layton, 2026)⭐⭐⭐

A solid attempt at a slow-burn, grown-up crime drama in the Heat vein that never quite clicks into the high gear it needs to.

Sisu: Road To Revenge (Jalmari Helander, 2025)⭐⭐

Double-hard Finnish Bastard, Aatami (Jorma Tommila) returns for another killing spree. This time, with the War over and no further Nazis requiring murder, Aatami decides to dismantle his family home (where his wife and children were murdered during his long absence) in Soviet-occupied Karella and drive it on a truck across the border to free Finland.

We Bury The Dead (Zak Hilditch, 2026)⭐⭐

Whistle (Corin Hardy, 2025)⭐⭐

Final Destination-esque hokum as Dafne Keen and friends discover an Aztec Death Whistle (google it) that when blown can summon your actual Death.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (Gore Verbinski, 2026)⭐⭐⭐

A solid attempt at a Terry Gilliam-style sci-fi movie that has something to say about the rise of AI and social media in general that mostly works and only occasionally feels like an old person tediously going on about 'screens'.

Primate (Johannes Roberts, 2026)⭐⭐⭐

A cheap, cheerful and fairly well done creature feature about a pet chimp that goes ape crazy after contracting rabies.

War Machine (Patrick Hughes, 2026)⭐⭐

What if Predator, but exploding and not as good? is the question asked and answered by this Alan Ritchson vehicle.

Mercy (Timur Bekmambetov, 2026)

A strong contender for the most aggressively stupid film I have seen since The Room, Mercy is a dystopian AI fable that, among its many other faults, somehow manages to mangle its message such that it ends up as pro-dystopia.

Tron:Ares (Joachim Rønning, 2025)⭐⭐⭐

As a third installment to a franchise that almost nobody is invested in - some 15 years after Tron:Legacy and 43(!) years after the original Tron - Tron:Ares is... not bad? It might even be good if you can overlook a few major flaws.

The Rip (Joe Carnahan, 2026)⭐

Matt Damon & Ben Affleck team up again to play narcotics cops who have recently lost one of their team to murder.

Dust Bunny (Brian Fuller, 2025)⭐⭐⭐⭐

Anyone hoping for a retread or continuation of Hannibal - Brian Fuller's previous collaboration with Mads Mikkelsen - will be disappointed at the dearth of artfully-flayed corpses and Turner Prize-baiting murder scenes, but Dust Bunny does share Fuller's distinctive eye for a captivating image and the subject matter is, on the face if it, quite grim.
