One of the latest novels to address the possibility of a world transformed by the effects of global warming, Paul McCauley’s Austral is set a number of years into the future. Antarctica has been colonised, the retreating ice revealing the landscape underneath, and humanity are building a new world there. The eponymous central figure is a

It’s easy to draw comparisons between Sleeping Beauties and several other books in Stephen King’s back catalogue. There’s the unstoppable pandemic and battle between good and evil of The Stand, there’s the isolated small-town panic of Under The Dome and The Tommyknockers, and the institutionalised abuse of women of Dolores Claiborne. However, this latest novel,
Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’ provides a rousing anthem for Taika Waititi’s irreverent, fun and wildly entertaining superhero film. Waititi is best known for his offbeat independent comedies such as What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt For The Wilderpeople and he ably transfers his brand of idiosyncratic humour with relish to the seventeenth entry
If, like many viewers around the world, you are already hooked on Star Trek Discovery, the future is looking brighter than ever: this week, network CBS has announced that the series has officially been renewed for Season 2.

Given that Stranger Things so perfectly hit that zeitgeist-y sweet spot and so clearly enjoyed its pop culture success, we had our concerns about whether Matt and Ross Duffer would be able to perform the same trick twice. No one likes a second season slump. So, good news: we didn’t need to worry. For the
Though the prospect of Guillermo del Toro not returning to direct the upcoming Hellboy reboot, Hellboy: Rise Of The Blood Queen, was somewhat distressing at first, the film is actually shaping up to sound pretty damn exciting. With David Harbour (Stranger Things) and Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) lined up to play Hellboy and the Blood Queen respectively,
Tree (Jessica Rothe) didn’t have a great birthday. First she woke up hungover in a stranger’s dorm room, then she was late to school, and then her sorority sister ruined her outfit by spilling a drink all over her. Just to put the cherry on the crappy cake, she got stabbed to death on her
Last weekend saw Nottingham’s Broadway Cinema play host to Mayhem Film Festival, and we headed into screen one for four days full of horror, sci-fi and cult movies from around the world. It was our first time at Mayhem, and it definitely won’t be the last. With an excellent and eclectic selection of features and
X-Men spin-off film The New Mutants may only have put out one trailer so far but it seems to have already made a lasting impression. That could largely be down to the fact that it’s a flat-out horror film, a first as far as Marvel’s band of misfit heroes are concerned. However, it looks as though we
What a name drop. The second episode of Arrow Season 6, titled ‘Tribute‘, was directed by Laura Belsey, with a story from Adam Schwartz and a teleplay by Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz.

Thor and Loki share a tender moment in the new clip from Thor: Ragnarok
By Poppy-Jay Palmer 20-10-17 16,346
We have a feeling that Thor: Ragnarok will evoke similar emotions to those brought on by that one scene on the Bifrost… We should probably get some tissues ready. You can read the film’s
Ezra Miller’s version of The Flash looks like it’s going to be a fun and fresh new take on the character. But can we also take a moment to appreciate how on brand Miller’s getup in this video is? 10/10. Justice League stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg,
Production is now underway on Jovanka Vuckovic’s post-apocalyptic Riot Girls and we have to say…we cannot wait.

The day has finally come where we can stop saying ‘the untitled Han Solo movie’ every time we talk about it. Here’s director Ron Howard to reveal what we should now call it instead… Hey #Twitterville we just wrapped production so here’s a special message #StarWars pic.twitter.com/8QJqN5BGxr — Ron Howard (@RealRonHoward) October 17, 2017 Solo:
Downsizing has just about the best concept you’ll find in a film all year. In a bid to cut down on the environmental impact of humans, scientists find a way to shrink humans. And because everything is so tiny, normal mid-level workers can sell up, downsize, and live like millionaires. That’s the idea Paul (Matt
After being in development for years, the film based on Josh Malerman’s incredible novel Bird Box is finally moving full steam ahead, and it’s got a hell of a cast. Variety reports that the previously announced Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich will be joined by Danielle Macdonald (the star of the brilliant Patti Cake$), Trevante Rhodes
Powered armour goes by many names in science fiction – including exosuit, assisted armour, jacket and exoskeleton. As readers we might quibble about the terminology, but we can all agree on one thing: it’s damned cool. Armoured suits are an element of SF that frequently catches the public’s imagination. Join me on a tour de
Not to be confused with Carlos Algara and Alejandro Martinez-Beltran’s Mexican film of the same name, Verónica is, like its director Paco Plaza’s previous [REC] and [REC] 2, set mostly in a Spanish metropolitan apartment building where something diabolical finds a way in. There, 15-year-old Verónica (Sandra Escacena, in an impressive big-screen debut) is left
You can read the very brief synopsis for Stranger Things Season 2 here: It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived. The show
In 1993 12-year-old Giuseppe Di Matteo was kidnapped by the mafia, held captive for 779 days and murdered. Co-directors and writers Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza pay tribute to the young boy with a gorgeous supernatural fantasy film that recalls the work of Guillermo del Toro in its poetic visuals and the dread and surreal
A strict catholic upbringing leaves shy Thelma (Eli Harboe) feeling like an outsider as she embarks on her University education in Joachim Trier’s sensitively handled supernatural Nordic chiller. Trier stamps his own nuanced spin on female coming-of-age horror by introducing a refreshing and richly drawn gay character struggling with her sexuality that strikes a similar
Rafe Spall turns in an emotionally engaging performance in this loose adaptation of Adam Nevill’s horror novel directed by David Bruckner and written by Joe Barton. Spall really makes you feel his character, Luke’s pain, fear and grief during and after he witnesses the brutal murder of a close friend at an off-licence. The swift
Barbara Crampton stars in this new trailer for body horror Replace By Poppy-Jay Palmer 12-10-17 12,861 You can read the synopsis for Replace here: Merging the striking visual beauty of The Neon Demon with the modern body horror told from a female perspective of Raw, Replace is a stylishly viral love story about reverse aging starring Rebecca Forsythe (We Are Your
We didn’t expect a chilly thriller from the director of Let The Right One In and Tinker Tailor, Soldier Spy and producer Martin Scorsese with a cast this strong to be quite so bad, but there can be no question that something has gone terribly wrong with Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of Jo Nesbø’s bestseller The Snowman. With the exception
It turns out Hollywood very nearly missed out on Guillermo del Toro. The Mexican director was so burnt on Mimic that he nearly gave up on Hollywood for ever – and a certain controversial movie mogul was to blame. “My first American experience was almost my last experience because it was with the Weinsteins at
