Is ‘longevity’ just anti-ageing repackaged for the new generation? The more we think about living forever, the more we tend to obsess over our behaviours and this new-found health anxiety has found a comfortable bedfellow with western beauty standards.

If it’s not a reboot (I Know What You Did Last Summer) or sequel (Final Destination Bloodlines), it’s a prequel (The First Omen; A Quiet Place: Day One), the return of a beloved gothic icon (Luc Besson’s Dracula: A Love Tale; Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein), or a slasher movie (Dangerous Animals) in which the psycho killer’s weapon of choice is not blades, but sharks.
