Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later, starring Jack O’Connell, Ralph Fiennes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer.
Kira and Ian meet on a winter weekend on the Isle of Skye. They connect suddenly and deeply. Returning to London they try to pursue their separate lives, but both have to face their past before they are ready to meet again.
From first-time director Aylin Tezel, Falling Into Place is a heartfelt, and intelligent romantic drama which embraces the messy energy of real life.
Directed by John Maclean (Slow West) and starring Tim Roth, Jack Lowden, and Kōki, Tornado is a period survival thrillerwhich follows a young woman who faces off against a gang of ruthless criminals.
Both reinventing and paying homage to classic samurai films, with Robbie Ryan (Bird) overseeing cinematography of an imagined rugged historic Britain, Tornado promises to be an unforgettable and exhilarating tour-de-force.
We follow Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer, back together.
Featuring the comedic genius of Tim Key and Tom Basden with the ever-luminous Carey Mulligan, The Ballad of Wallis Island is charming, laugh-out-loud funny and brimming with original music, including performances from the cast.
Seen on the big screen for the first time at Dundead Film Festival! So many iconic moments paired with some absolute nonsense. Loved it.
Oh my god, genuinely so incredibly unsettling! I literally jumped out of my skin at just a window being closed!

NICE WORK. direction and soundtrack use go crazy, and that bed looks extremely comfortable.
Achieved more atmosphere, chill and creepiness in 7 minutes than some films do in 90+ minutes.
Can’t wait to see more of what Max Ward does.
