28 Days Later…

This shocking and disturbing British horror flick provides plenty of thrills and gripping tension.

Thirteen Days

This is an outstanding historic political thriller that jangles the nerves, made all the more powerful because of the significance of the true events on which it is based.

Clockstoppers

This film is an above-average family adventure that will certainly amuse kids but lacks depth and substance.

The Karate Kid

Simple but effective coming-of-age drama, full of humour and thrills, which became a teen classic and still holds up well to scrutiny.

Mimic 2

This is a competently-made sci-fi horror flick, but it lacks surprises and as a result doesn’t always manage to build genuine tension.

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

This is a lavish and beautiful vampire film, with fantastic characters and plenty of atmosphere, that will appeal to audiences far broader than those who usually enjoy the horror genre.

Daddy & Them

This is a simple yet intelligent comedy with some good qualities, but it takes its time to get going.

Birthday Girl

Both funny and thrilling, this film provides plenty of entertainment even if one isn’t really surprised how it turns out. A fine addition to the stable of modern quirky British comedies.

Die Another Day

A fine addition to the Bond film collection, with the usual collection of gadgets, bad guys, chases and plenty of action.

Urban Ghost Story

This is a decent but not outstanding low-budget British supernatural thriller that makes a good start but fails to really capitalise on it.
