In the better part of a year now Netflix hasn’t seemed to shy away from exclusively bringing the blockbuster cinematic experience normally reserved for the movie theatre to the small screen, and here with the upcoming action film, Triple Frontier, it seems as though the trend is well and truly continuing.
Arctic is an unforgiving yet inspirational story about a man stranded in the middle of the Antarctic wilderness, who must use every ounce of survival instinct to stay alive in a place without any remorse for human life.

It’s been a good year for independent horror and 2019 looks like it could be shaping up to follow suit with Piercing,starring Mia Wasikowska and Christopher Abbott.
Piercing looks as though it will set a new benchmark and judging by this new red-band trailer, will not hold back.
The film follows Reed (Abbott); a seemingly normal family man until his business trip reveals him to have a dark side that brings out a plan to check into a motel and murder an unsuspecting prostitute.
Enter Jackie (Wasikowska) as the targeted escort, however, with an ulterior motive of her own in mind, the tables quickly turn on Reed.
The trailer shows that the film is really going all-out on quirky black comedy, and won’t hold back on the violent mind and torture games the two main characters are going to play on each other.
It also looks as though the audience will be in for a fun, if not hilariously over-the-top mind-bending experience.
So if 2018 satisfied your thirst for a bloody good time in the horror genre, Piercing looks to continue the trend well into the new year.
The film is directed by Nicolas Pesce and is due out on 1 February 2019.
With the movie market saturated with superhero films, BrightBurn might just be the antidote audiences need to skew the direction these types of movies normally head in.

The Old Man & the Gun can be viewed in two different ways. One, a simple story of an elderly bank robber who charms his way into looting any bank he sees fit to enter without using an ounce of force, the other, a vehicle entirely built around its star, screen legend Robert Redford.
Fede Alvarez’ The Girl in the Spider’s Web continues Lisbeth Salander’s life of cyberhacking and destroying abusive men’s lives around the globe and unfortunately, comes up way shorter than its predecessor.
The original Halloween was released in 1978 and opened up a whole new horror genre in the form of the ‘slasher’. It also introduced us to the horror icon, the seemingly unkillable Michael Myers.
Remakes of classic films are rarely met with high praise, however, the latest version of A Star is Born could well be considered a classic in its own right. It’s hard to fault a film where everything fits so well together with such confidence and emotional depth.
With the huge success of IT last year, it was inevitable that more of author Stephen King’s material was coming our way on the big screen.
The anticipation for Hold the Dark was high for this reviewer as its director Jeremy Saulnier had shown strong promise with his two previous features, Green Room (2015) and Blue Ruin (2013).

A lot of people who have already heard of this documentary might be asking if it would’ve even been made if Paul Walker were still alive. The answer is no.
