20 Comments

New horror/thriller Send Help has Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as colleagues stranded on a deserted island.

Directed by Sam Raimi, additional key cast including Dennis Haysbert, Xavier Samuel and Chris Pang,

I’m trying my best not to even imagine the nightmare of being stranded with my least favourite person from work.

Hopefully, this will be good, because I do enjoy well-executed vengeance movies.

Emma Raimi, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Edyll Ismail and Brad Flett also star.

Send Help Release Dates: January 30th 2026 (US & UK)…

New sci-fi/crime/thriller Mercy has Chris Pratt playing a detective whose fate is to be determined by the AI (Rebecca Ferguson) he championed, after he’s accused of murdering his wife.

Annabelle Wallis, Kenneth Choi and Noah Fearnley are among the key cast, while Timur Bekmambetov directs.

I want this to be great, of course. But I don’t yet have the feeling it will be.

Still, I remain curious and will no doubt be very happy and pleasantly surprised if the quality of this film exceeds that of Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002), which I need to rewatch forthwith.

I suspect that what may be most impressive is what the film shows us about the level to which the American public is under surveillance. Additionally, wouldn’t it be quite the twist if Pratt’s character is actually guilty?

What are your thoughts, dear reader?

Kylie Rogers, Chris Sullivan, Kali Reis, Rafi Gavron, Jeff Pierre, Philicia Saunders, Renata Ribeiro and Jamie McBride also star.

Mercy Release Dates: January 23rd, 2026 (US & UK)…

A remote, forgotten rural area is the setting of Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence’s latest comedy/drama/thriller. One about a mother’s struggle as she battles with psychosis.

Directed by Lynne Ramsay, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek are among the key cast.

Is it me, or does this trailer look like it shows a couple who are simply going through a generic tough time in their relationship, rather than a woman battling psychosis, as per the synopsis?

I’m interested, yet I’m also not in a rush to watch a relationship implode. Particularly since, so far, this seems like having to witness two people you know well, fight right in front of you.

Kennedy Calderwood, Gabrielle Rose, Zoe Cross and Kasmere Trice Stanfield also star.

Die My Love Release Dates: November 7th, 2025 (US); November 14th, 2025 (UK)…

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025): New Trailer From Kathryn Bigelow, Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Greta Lee…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of A House of Dynamite (2025).

Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and The Hurt Locker (2008) director, Kathryn Bigelow, has a brand new drama/thriller called A House of Dynamite.

Starring Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, and Greta Lee, A House of Dynamite is a drama that unfolds in real time as White House staffers deal with an impending missile strike on America.

As scary as this premise is, I’m in for the gripping predicament, especially in the hands of such a talented filmmaking team.

I’m also excited to see who Idris Elba will be playing. Could it be the head of the CIA/Secret Service, the President of the United States? Or, perhaps someone else entirely. You’d think that the next trailer would tell us, but:

Is A House of Dynamite something you see yourself watching?

Anthony Ramos, Kyle Allen, Tracy Letts, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Aminah Nieves, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Jared Harris, Willa Fitzgerald, Jonah Hauer-King, Gabriel Basso, Jason Clarke and Brian Tee also star.

A House of Dynamite Release Dates: October 24th, 2025 (US & UK)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Monster – The Ed Gein Story (2025).

American murderer and suspected serial killer Ed Gein is the subject of Netflix’s latest story in their anthology series about high-profile crimes and killers.

Co-created by Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy, Monster – The Ed Gein Story stars Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hollander and Olivia Williams.

Hello darkness!

I’m excited to see Hunnam’s impressive transformation because he’s a brilliant actor. But, since I’m still in my ‘not too dark, please’ era of film-loving, who knows if I’ll get round to watching this. Perhaps I’ll give it a go and see how far I can get. At the very least, I’ll watch all the trailers Netflix releases.

What are your thoughts on part 3 of Murphy and Brennan’s Monster series? So far, I’ve watched exactly zero, because both Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) and Monsters – The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (2024) proved too disturbing.

Laurie Metcalf, Suzanna Son, Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore and Addison Rae also star.

Monster – The Ed Gein Story Release Dates: October 3rd, 2025 (US & UK)…
