5 d. ago Night of the Zoopocalypse review – Clive Barker story becomes zombified animal caper for horror

Perhaps the first animated animal adventure based on a story by Hellraiser writer Barker, with commendably scary baddies and a lemur who is a horror-movie buffA children’s animated adventure based on an idea by Clive “Hellraiser” Barker? It’s a new one on us and yet, why not. All the best children’s stories have gory origins, from anonymous folklore to the Brothers Grimm. Here, the premise is fairly simple: zoo animals are becoming zombified and our heroes, a young wolf (Gabbi Kosmidis) and world-weary mountain lion (David Harbour) plus a growing posse of the non-zombified, must try to a) escape and b) put a stop to the zombification.It’s not the most complex premise – the Barker original, called Zoombies, is an unpublished short story – and this occasionally shows, in that there’s not an awful lot of narrative to go around. The film-makers address this by running a parallel commentary on the story beats and structure from one of the characters, a funny/annoying lemur, who is a horr...

1 week ago Good Boy review – crafty supernatural horror leads with a heroic dog

A lovable pet is unlikely protagonist of 73-minute haunted house riff that has ingenious moments but gets repetitiveIn the horror genre, you’d be a fool to ignore the concerns of a dog. While cats are mainly lurking in dark spaces waiting to collaborate with the orchestra on a cheap jumpscare, dogs are quick to alert their owners of nefarious goings on, acutely sensitive to threats whether they be human or not.In the often ingenious new horror film Good Boy, a pet dog isn’t just an easily dismissed harbinger of evil, he’s the main character. Like last year’s Presence, which saw Steven Soderbergh tell a ghost story through the lens of the ghost, and In a Violent Nature, which gave us a gory slasher as seen by the killer, we’re given a fresh perspective on a story that’s anything but, this time a haunted house horror as seen by Indy, a loyal retriever. He’s worried about his owner Todd (Shane Jensen, whose face we barely see), who’s retreating to his grandfather’s remote cabin after a...

1 week ago The revolution will be in VistaVision: what are the politics of One Battle After Another?

Paul Thomas Anderson’s thrilling new film has irked some on the right and galvanised others on the left – but its politics are more complicated than they initially seemAbout two dozen movies have topped the box office in 2025, and it’s safe to say that Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is the only one that depicts its protagonists freeing arrested immigrants from detention centers. The movie doesn’t face much competition for the title of most political weekend-topper of the year; superhero pictures such as Captain America: Brave New World perpetually tell the most anodyne stories possible, even when they’re supposedly about Washington-based conspiracies; Sinners conceals some of its bigger ideas within a crime-and-horror vampire story; even Mickey 17, another riskily expensive Warner Bros movie from a beloved auteur with political overtones, has genre-movie trappings. On the other hand, some rightwing pundits suggested in all seriousness that Warner should have delayed...

2 w. ago ‘Go woke, go broke’? New study challenges claims progressive films flop at the box office

Film data analyst Stephen Follows finds no evidence that ‘woke-adjacent’ cinema is doomed commercially – and claims some genres may benefit from diverse casting“Go woke, go broke” is a movie catchphrase du jour, loved by rightwing culture warriors, who take aim at mainstream films judged to have adopted progressive values, and therefore are worthy of boycott and complaints. Films as varied as The Marvels, Charlie’s Angels, Ghostbusters (the 2016 reboot) and Pixar’s Elio have been attacked for their perceived commitment to inclusiveness and diversity, and in some cases their box office revenue appears to have been affected as a result.But is it actually the case? Film data analyst Stephen Follows, an adviser to Guinness World Records and author of The Horror Movie Report, has published research on how audiences actually respond to “woke-adjacent” content in current cinema. First presented at the Zurich film festival on Saturday, Follows’ research suggests that there is no blanket rul...
