Review of The Neighbor (2016)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 26 Sep 2016

Review of Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda (2014)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 26 Sep 2016

With a rather limp ending and a shortage of distinctive set pieces, this is a disappointing entry in the Sharktopus series, falling short of…

Review of 31 (2016)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 22 Sep 2016

To put it more simply, this is fun. It has energy and it has personality. Zombie is not (yet) up there with the greats, but this is superior trash…

Review of Road Games (2015)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 25 Aug 2016

Though its tendency to whimsy means it's not quite as tightly plotted as it needs to be, this charismatic little thriller still manages to…

Review of Emelie (2016)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 14 Aug 2016

Where it does fall back on formula, Emelie is sufficiently well made to hold viewer attention and it succeeds in maintaining a degree of creepiness…

Review of Edge of Winter (2016)

Review of The Phenom (2016)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 30 Jun 2016

Simmons is generally convincing but it's difficult for him to combine this with holding centre stage, especially in scenes alongside Ethan…

Review of Temps (2016)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 06 Apr 2016

Superficially -- and this is a story very much concerned with the superficial -- this is a light, breezy affair with sexually assertive characters…

Review of Peace Officer (2015)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 22 Feb 2016

Review of Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah (2015)

Review of Guilty (2015)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 22 Feb 2016

Review of One Floor Below (2015)

By Jennie Kermode (588) for Eye for Film (1,537) on 22 Feb 2016
