Dirty Pretty Things

Fine London-based drama-thriller that features an outstanding minority cast and illuminates the seedier side of the lives of immigrants.

Dark Blue

A well-acted and at times extremely violent thriller. It'll hold your attention, but offer little that's fresh.

Queen's Messenger

Low budget actioner with little to recommend it. Fans of Gary Daniels will enjoy seeing him fight, of course.

The Hitcher

The story’s not to difficult to find fault with, but thanks to Harmon’s eerie direction and Hauer’s foreboding presence, this is deservedly a cult classic. Watch it with the lights turned off.

Trapped

Dim-witted but surprisingly amusing, this is a fun thriller to watch for all the wrong reasons.

Novocaine

Above-average black comedy – though perhaps not ideal for those who are afraid of dentists.

Reign of Fire

Flawed but enjoyable dragon-slayer tale based on an interesting idea but which could be better executed.

Swimfan

While this is not bad as a teen thriller, sadly this story has been told on film a number of times before and often with better results.

Deathwatch

Decently-made war horror that does suffer a little from a slow second half and a not unexpected ending.

The Last House on the Left

In many ways this is a flawed film, but nonetheless it is an important contribution to the small group of films that have chosen to use realism to show the true horror of violence.
