When serial killer Gabriel Engel is captured a rural cop travels to the big city to question him about an unsolved murder in his home village, but finds himself being drawn deeper and deeper into a psychological game of cat-and-mouse that threatens his sanity, his faith and the lives of those he loves the most. The comparisons to 'Silence of the Lambs' are inevitable and even explicitly recognised within the film but, those similarities aside, 'Antibodies' is a gripping thriller with memorable p find out more...

A strange, beautiful film. We watch mother and son as they go about their peculiar daily routine, and we see a dead child in the ocean. It's unnerving and, somehow, everything seems eerily sexual, too. Then we are invited to go underwater where we get a closer look at the strange story science and earth have to tell. There are only mothers and sons in this coastal town. There is routine and control - but who is in control and what happens if someone starts to ask que find out more...

Stylish chiller thriller with Denzel Washington as homicide detective John Hobbes, who gets the heebie-jeebies at a spate of murders bearing all the trademarks of serial killer Edgar Reese - because Hobbes himself watched Reese put to death in the gas chamber. Forced to confront facts which go against everything the hardened cop knows to be true, Hobbes finds himself on the trail of an unseen entity which can take over anyone it fancies. Darkly X-Files-ish.

Let's all thank the Lord that Takashi Miike found work as a film director - cuz none of us would want a mind this twisted loose on the streets. MPD-Psycho (Multiple-Personality-Detective) are two episodes from the Manga by Otsuka Eiji and Tajima Sho-u that follow the fortunes of Amamiya (or is it Kobayshi?), a police detective with multiple personality syndrome. Missing wives, mysterious cults and some very sick individuals combine to make these films two of the most disturbing, surreal and fant find out more...

More weird and truly wonderful madness from Takashi Miike and his Multiple Personality Detective. In episodes 3 and 4 we learn a little bit more about Nishizono, the arch criminal who can transfer his soul/self into others with the slightest touch, the sinister cult of Lucy Monostone and the growing number of genetically altered bar-coders, and what all this has to do with Amamiya/Kobyashi, the troubled detective of the title . That said MPD-Psycho still remains elusive and resistive to explanat find out more...

It's 1997 and the Predator has returned to wreak deadly havoc, but this time in the concrete jungle of downtown Los Angeles, a city already gripped by violent clashes between drug crazed ganglords and a despairing police force. A superior sequel with brilliant special effects. Watch. find out more...

A great, atmospheric and very dark addition to the serial killer genre. Easy comparisons can be found with David Fincher's 'Se7en', as this German film is also set in a grimy, rainy anonymous city, Berlin, as well as having two detective protagonists with contrasting levels of experience in the field. The plot is a neat mutation of Silence of the Lambs, involving an underground culture that has sprung up around a market in the buying and selling of human body art and, obviously, this necessitate find out more...

Unpleasant ex-cop Joong-ho Eom who works as a charmless pimp is severely troubled that his girls have started walking out on him, that is until he discovers that they all shared the same phone number for their last customer, so he starts to track the guy down. This horror-thriller is a film that, not unlike "Memories of Murder" in terms of plot direction and mood, takes convention and turns it inside out. Exploitative yes, violent yes, funny sometimes, art house no, original and entertaining, ve find out more...
