Lee Haven Jones’ Welsh-language horror show THE FEAST aka Gwledd pits urban greed against the forces of nature. The film screened in the First Film Competition of the 65th BFI London Film Festival at Curzon Mayfair (09 OCT 2021).
Banjong Pisanthanakun’s THE MEDIUM is a mocumentary/found-footage tale of possession in the Thai region of Isan. The film screened in the Cult strand of the 65th BFI London Film Festival at ODEON Luxe West End (08 OCT 2021).
Nia DaCosta’s CANDYMAN (2021) is a good film, but there was potential for it to be an angrier, more brutal & significantly more damning one.

The werewolf FX have a well-cuddled Care Bear quality that makes you want to rub the creature’s belly for rainbow wishes.
In brief: Leaves you with that feeling of being fully satisfied by something you haven’t seen before & can’t wait to see again.
In brief: A casting clusterfuck of a bear hunt that comes completely undone with some appalling CGI in its closing stages.
In brief: The classic bear bait & switch, a monster slash survival movie suffering a hormone-induced identity crisis.
