KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR SOME EXTREMELY EXCITING AND ENTERTAINING REVIEWS
INFLUENCERS
INFLUENCERS - CW returns in the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2023 SHUDDER hit that sees her revert to her old identity thieving, murderous ways, kicking off a plot that spans continents and spills even more blood. Iain MacLeod reviews the film fresh from its UK premiere at FrightFest.
ODYSSEY
ODYSSEY - A week in the life of a high-flying London estate agent gets darker and darker. From mounting debts, to kidnapping to spilled blood the pressure increases day by day in Gerard Johnson’s ruthless mix-up of character study and thriller. Iain MacLeod reviews this darkly entertaining spin on British crime thrillers that just received its English premiere at FrightFest.
IN A COLD VEIN
Eric Owen makes a bold leap from horror to a lean, mean neo-noir thriller with IN A COLD VEIN. With dark Texan landscapes, bursts of violence, and a conflicted anti-hero at its core, this is a must for crime fiction fans.
Iain MacLeod reviews Owen’s Texas noir, which receives its World Premiere this year at FrightFest.
