Every word spoken in Irish is a bullet fired for Irish freedom. A rebellious statement in the style of Trainspotting about fighting for a nation through music. Kneecap has incredible verve, a clever script playing with interpretations of reality and beautifully working relationship lines. The music teacher rules. Very…

A typical representative of the haunted house subgenre, not too different from the others. The dark history of the house and the curse of its ancient owner falls on Kate and apparently on her son and the friend who bought the house. Gradually reality is lost, mixed with hallucinations and dreams, and everything is…

Given the exhaustive synopsis, there is not much to add. It’s sort of a cross between Alien and The Thing, where a dangerous organism from another dimension gets into ours and has to be eliminated, easy to say, but it's a killer and has the upper hand. The search for the monkey is reminiscent of the search for the cat…

Sometimes less is more. With this film, Liam Neeson managed to resuscitate his action career, which had started to drift dangerously into purely B-movie action waters like Steven Seagal and others. In the Land of Saints and Sinners may have a straightforward plot and a predictable scheme, but it's also a beautifully…

Unnecessarily long and complicated witchcraft. Either give the cast with interesting characters or shorten it because I regularly fell asleep during some episodes. The last two episodes, however, ran like clockwork. Not that I liked everything I was getting, but it had momentum and was interesting. Kathryn Hahn and…

A psychological drama about an innocent girl who finds herself in a children’s home among mentally ill wards who are terrorised by evil caregivers? No, Requiem for a Maiden is rather a full-blooded exploitation thriller set in a women’s prison with a thick atmosphere and psychedelic music like that heard in a giallo…

In every respect, Spirit Riser is a dilettantish, feeble-minded mess from a director who perhaps had a few interesting surrealistic ideas, but otherwise lacks talent as a storyteller while having only a hint of skill as a filmmaker. The execution is entirely amateurish and trashily cheap, and the incoherent acting…

David must surely win the sympathy of many viewers when he saves Ana from her asshole boyfriend. But he loses it rather quickly when we find out who David is. If two characters find themselves in a confined space that they cannot leave, then quite logically they are only allowed to have dialogue, especially when they…

An astronaut pod is hurtling towards Earth, having been attacked by an alien entity. Or maybe Earth's viruses and bacteria have mutated due to cosmic radiation. Either way, the astronaut asks the space centre to press the red button... An arm on a beach has survived the explosion and has a life of its own, and it has…

This episode is all about the special effects, which aren't bad, but the wait for them, despite the adequate running time, seems interminable. It starts with a severed hand starts, so one star for the effects, two for the gore. The most entertaining thing, besides the pen in the hand, is the triangle in the head, and…
