  Certificate: 18 Running time: 103 minutes  Starring: Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long, Matthew Patrick Davis Directed by: Zach Cregger The story: When a woman arrives at her Airbnb only to discover that someone else is already staying there, she decides against her better judgment to stay the night. The verdict: Barbarian is a slightly tricky film to review. Not because of its quality or lack of but because this is a film best gone into with as little prior knowledge as possible. With that in mind, this review will be reasonably short but equally reasonably sweet.  Barbarian was brilliant fun. Not only is it a film with three very distinct acts, it is a film that wrongfoots the audience from the start and in the best possible way. Barbarian sets up the perfect horror scenario and then flips it in a brutal and shocking way. The way that the rug is pulled out from the audience’s feet makes it such an engaging watch but also it hits all those horror notes...

  Certificate: 12A Running time: 125 minutes  Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Viola Davis, Sarah Shahi, Pierce Brosnan, Quintessa Swindell, Noah Centino Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra The story: Five thousand years after being bestowed with the powers of the Egyptian gods, an almighty champion is freed from his tomb. The verdict: It wouldn’t be unfair to say that The DC Extended Universe has had its share of ups and downs. However, the universe has appeared to find its feet in recent times with films like Shazam! and The Suicide Squad, and tv show Peacemaker, proving popular with both audiences and critics alike. That being said, there was still room for some new characters to make their entrance into the DCEU and shake things up, and who better to do that than Black Adam played by the almighty Dwayne Johnson?! You would have had to have been living under a rock (naturally occurring solid mass) to not have heard of The Rock (former wrestler turned actor) and as suc...

  Certificate: 15 Running time: 123 minutes  Starring: Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Olivia Wilde, Gemma Chan Directed by: Olivia Wilde The story: Alice and Jack live an idyllic life in the close knit community of Victory. Whilst the husbands go to work each day at the experimental company, the wives live the ideal housewife life enjoying all the perks of paradise. However when Alice starts to notice cracks in the seemingly perfect Victory, her dream life soon becomes a nightmare.  The verdict: There are arguably two types of audiences when it comes to watching a film. There are those who relish a film that leaves them with much to discuss and ponder, and then there are those who prefer to have everything wrapped up and explained. If you are in the latter type of audience then you may struggle with Don’t Worry Darling and if you are in the former type of audience then hello and welcome to Victory. Don’t Worry Darling is likely to leave you with a myriad of qu...
