We revisit Frank Darabont's 1994 beloved adaptation of Stephen King's uplifting The Shawshank Redemption, with career-high performances from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, gifted a lavish 4K package in The Film Vault Collection.  

When The Last Temptation of Christ fell apart, Scorsese rushed out this frequently understandably forgotten down-and-dirty dark comedy satire, which makes for Criterion UK's first 4K release.  

Castlevania is reborn in Netflix's new animated series 'Nocturne' bringing a whole new cast of demon hunters to hold back the tides of darkness, now threatening to overrun revolutionary France. Can the show carry on without Dracula?  

Gunn's Guardians goes out with a bang in this dark and heartfelt final(-ish) chapter, gifted an unsurprisingly strong 4K that, perhaps more surprisingly for a Disney disc, actually includes some "IMAX" expanded ratio footage.  

Those waiting to find out about the fallout from the end of season 3 of The Boys will undoubtedly find Gen V a welcome distraction in the meantime. Those less enamored by the franchise’s signature blend of irreverence and extreme violence won’t find much in this spin-off to change their mind.  

The first of a series of short film adaptations of Roald Dahl short stories, Wes Anderson - after The Fantastic Mr. Fox - once again proves to be the perfect match for these classic Dahl works. UPDATED with reviews of all 4 Short Films.  

Gareth Edwards is a master of spectacle and never has that been more obvious than in the thrilling scope of the best moments of The Creator. But is there anything more to this than the laundry list of influences promised by the trailer?  

Grant Singer's directorial debut will certainly garner him some well-earned attention, affording choice leading roles for Benicio del Toro and Alicia Silverstone, and unspooling a dark and twisty crime drama with surprising confidence.  

Maintaining the unbearably tense modus operandi of his previous Boiling Point, writer/director Philip Barantini targets a topical social media themed home invasion thriller with sofa-gripping results.  

Alejandro Amenabar’s beautiful and poignant ode to classic 60s chiller The Innocents gets a new director-approved 4K restoration that even without HDR manages to provide a wonderfully evocative transfer that is as much of the period as the film itself…  

We take a look at the box-office bomb that was Cutthroat Island; can an incredible set wash away the memory?  

Edgar Allen Poe’s short story gets drawn long for another effective Mike “Netflix horror TV” Flanagan effort which slow burns its horrific shocks as it unleashes the unthinkable.  

A dark and malevolent beast, whose production history is almost as colourful as the myriad characters it portrays, this is a stunning late classic-era film noir from acclaimed auteur Orson Welles, brought back to the fore by another fabulous Eureka 4K restoration.  

Taking "historical inaccuracies" to a whole new level, Jonathan Mostow's U-571 is still a trashily fun sub thriller, gifted a new lease of life with Studiocanal's 4K restoration.  

Brian Duffield, he of The Babysitter and then a bunch of exceedingly plain and irritating sci-fi and horror, has had his latest project plonked down on Disney+. And it’s an exceedingly plain and irritating sci-fi horror…just without any dialogue.  

Embracing the immense world-building established already in the John Wick universe, The Continental shoots through 70s NYC in style.  

Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and their ever-decreasing circle of superannuated chums return for, hopefully, one last adventure that sadly seems to forget what made this premier Geri-Action franchise such a guilty pleasure in the first place…must be their age…  

Neil "In the Company of Men" LaBute sets up Maggie Q's alcoholic veteran for some bloody, brutal home invasion mayhem which ultimately runs out of budget.
