The Cabin in the Woods
Date Location
(4 stars) Five sex- and booze-fuelled teenagers get more than they bargained for when they holiday in an isolated log cabin. Co-creators Whedon (Buffy) and Goddard (Cloverfield) deliver the most original horror movie of the year, with something in its box of tricks to scare everyone.

A Dangerous Method
Date Location
(4 stars) Cronenberg’s investigation of psychoanalysis, seen through the relationship between the two main proponents, Freud (Mortensen) and Jung (Fassbender) makes for a fascinating insight into a moment in history when the world of thought, and the way that we think about ourselves, was being fundamentally reshaped.

Jo Nesbo's Headhunters (Hodejegerne)
Date Location
(4 stars) Roger (Hennie) is a successful headhunter living beyond his means, who supplements his income with a double life as a gentleman thief, until one of his victims (Coster-Waldau) fights back. Tyldum's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's novel is somewhere between a Road Runner cartoon and a Coen Brothers thriller: breathlessly, outrageously entertaining.

Man on a Ledge
Date Location
(3 stars) A disgraced former cop (Worthington) threatens to jump from a Manhattan rooftop, but it becomes clear to a police psychologist (Banks) that it's a distraction from a heist across the street. Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves.

Safe
Date Location
(3 stars) Luke Wright (Statham), suicidal ex-cop-turned-cage-fighter, is about to jump in front of a train when he befriends Mei (Chan), Chinese schoolgirl and math genius who knows how to access a fortune. Generic villains and excessive body count can't tarnish Statham's likable machismo and the unstoppable energy of the action scenes. A guilty pleasure.

Silent House
Date Location
(2 stars) In this remake of a 2010 Urugayan film, Sarah (Olsen) and her family arrive at a lakeside property where her terrifying memories become confused with the equally frightening present. Olsen, an actress of great potential, is wasted in this ponderously slow attempt at a psychological drama that's packaged as horror.

The Cold Light of Day
Date Location
(1 star) Wall Street trader Will (Cavill) is visiting his family in Spain when they – but not he – are kidnapped, in retaliation for the dodgy dealings of his spy dad (Willis). A clichéd and incoherent script inspires dull lead performances, and what with the ham-fisted editing it's very much an inaction thriller.

Berberian Sound Studio
Date Location
In the 1970s, a British sound technician (Toby Jones) is brought to Italy to work on the sound effects for a gruesome horror film. His nightmarish task slowly takes over his psyche, driving him to confront his own past. Berberian Sound Studio is many things: an anti-horror film, a stylistic tour de force, and a dream of cinema. As such, it offers a kind of pleasure that is rare in films, while recreating in a highly original way the pleasures of Italian horror cinema.

Black's Game (Svartur á leik)
Date Location
Stefan Mani’s best-seller of the Icelandic underworld becomes the basis for this debut feature by Óskar Thór Axelsson. A young slacker with violent tendencies does a job for a gang of drug dealers. Impressing his superiors, he works his way up to a high position in the gang … just as the crooks are setting up their biggest deal yet. Energetic, made with flair, and brimming with local colour, Black’s Game brings some refreshing Icelandic twists to a classic gang-thriller plot.
