IT FOLLOWS (full article at The Guardian Australia)

The central idea of It Follows is simplicity itself: a creature stalking you slowly, relentlessly, with no obvious motive other than to ‘get’ you. It feels like the basis of a playground game. Yet combined with the deadly consequences, and executed to heart racing perfection by writer / director David Robert Mitchell, It Follows is one hundred minutes of heebie-jeebie inducing tension. 

Jay (Maika Monroe) goes on a seemingly pleasant date with her new boyfriend, Hugh (Jake Weary), but after having sex discovers she is being stalked by a terrifying and homicidal entity. There are a set of rules imparted to Jay, that if she can follow, might just keep her alive.

BUNNY AND THE BULL (full article at The Guardian Australia)

Director Paul King and writer and actor Simon Farnaby are bringing us a new look at Roald Dahl’s beloved confectioner in Wonka next year, having already delighted the entire world with their stewardship of the Paddington Cinematic Universe. But there’s another movie in their catalogue that’s worth watching: 2009’s Bunny and the Bull, a bittersweet travelogue told with imaginative visual flair and a lot of heart.

Stephen (Edward Hogg) lives alone in his London flat, unable to venture outside due to a past traumatic experience. He spends his days meticulously cataloguing and hoarding his possessions. After ordering a takeaway one night, Stephen’s memory is jogged and he recalls a trip to Europe with his best friend, Bunny, played by Farnaby.

PROJECT WOLF HUNTING (full review at Screen Realm)

Project Wolf Hunting is a genre switching action / horror blitz from South Korean director Kim Hong-sun. It’s bloody and visceral and over the top, but sadly, lacks focus and outstays it’s welcome by the end.

Forty seven criminals, arrested in the Philippines, are to be transported back to South Korea by boat. They are loaded aboard a cargo ship - The Frontier Titan – with twenty detectives and a two person medical team.

Of course, things don’t go as planned and the crooks are quickly sprung by gang members posing as the ship’s crew. As the cops and criminals wage a pitched battle across the boat, something is awoken in the bowels of the ship and Project Wolf Hunting shifts from bloody action movie to super bloody horror film.
