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and b) put a stop to the zombification.It’s not the most complex premise – the Barker original, called Zoombies, is an unpublished short story – and this occasionally shows, in that there’s not an awful lot of narrative to go around.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

8 h. ago ‘It’s more than a pretty backdrop’: crime writer Ann Cleeves on the magic of Orkney in Scotland

With her latest book, the author moves detective Jimmy Perez from Shetland to Orkney, where she was inspired by the deep history, huge skies and warm peopleFifty years ago, I headed north for the first time. I’d dropped out of my university literature course – with the arrogance of youth, I thought I could read books anywhere. After a chance meeting in a Putney pub, I got a job as assistant cook in the Bird Observatory in Fair Isle. At that point, I didn’t even know where Fair Isle was. I came from Devon and hadn’t made it farther north than Durham. Scotland was unknown territory.Of course, Fair Isle is part of the Shetland group and lies halfway between Shetland mainland and Orkney. That summer, I fell in love with the Northern Isles, with the romance of the isolation, the bleak beauty and the stories. Over the summer, I worked in the observatory with Alison, an Orcadian lass, who was there for her college holidays. “When you’ve finished your contract,” she said with the easy hospi...

8 h. ago The Burden review – deeply personal portrait of living with Aids in secret

Elvis Sabin Ngaibino’s poignant documentary shows the pressures faced by family members forced to keep their condition hidden in their deeply religious communityShot in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, Elvis Sabin Ngaibino’s engrossing and poignant documentary is a family affair. The subject is none other than his cousin Rodrigue, who is consumed with a weighty secret: both he and his wife Reine are living with Aids. Within their deeply religious community, the condition is sorely misunderstood; in his fervid sermons, the local pastor associates Aids and HIV with witchcraft, curses, and even God’s punishment. Such superstitious and moralistic sentiments take deep root in the minds of the believers, worsening the social stigma surrounding an ongoing health crisis.Unable to speak their truth, Rodrigue and Reine are torn between their private troubles and public personas. The sensorial soundmix powerfully conjures the cacophony of voices that envelop their daily existen...
