30 h. 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and b) put a stop to the zombification.It’s not the most complex premise – the Barker original, called Zoombies, is an unpublished short story – and this occasionally shows, in that there’s not an awful lot of narrative to go around.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...

4 d. ago Film Club: Aimee Lou Wood’s fantastical romcom is part Mike Leigh, part cosy family sitcom

The White Lotus star is an agoraphobic movie lover who puts on elaborate immersive screenings in her garage in this sweet tale of longing, anxiety and family bickering. But is it believable?I’m not sure where Aimee Lou Wood – the Stockport-born star of Sex Education and The White Lotus – got the idea for Film Club (Tuesday 7 October, 10pm, BBC Three), the new drama she has created with fellow actor Ralph Davis, but I’d be amazed if it’s drawn from her own life. Not because the fearlessly outspoken global celebrity plays a woman too scared to set foot outside her mum’s house in Manchester following a nervous breakdown, her only respite being a weekly movie night with uni friends in the garage. No. It’s the garage itself.Each week, unemployed, agoraphobic Evie somehow finds the wherewithal to transform her garage into a spectacular film set. For a screening of Alien, this one-woman Secret Cinema wallpapers it with tinfoil and hazard tape and fills it with smoke, strip lights...

3 w. ago The Boatyard review – skeezy cannibal horror picks off rich kids on a yacht ride to slaughter

Pointless and witless, this atrociously acted ripoff of The Hills Have Eyes should be cast back into the waterThere are horror movies that walk the viewer through their deepest fears, others that use the genre to explore broader social issues and anxieties, and others that are just about thrill rides and LOLs. And then there is silly, sadistic trash like this: a micro-budget ripoff of cannibal-killer franchise The Hills Have Eyes, its lousy sequels and suchlike. It even features an actor from the original 1977 Hills’ cast: Susan Lanier here plays Martha, a blowsy barmaid with a taste for human flesh. But Hills at least attempted to craft some sort of backstory for its mayhem; Martha and her skeezy friends’ tastes are just a given, as if encountering cannibals is just one of the hazards of the boating life, like sharks or equipment failure.The lambs to this slaughter are a quintet of mostly stupid young people in their 20s, who get together for partying purposes on the yacht of rich ...
