“Wuthering Heights” (Emerald Fennell, 2026)

This adaptation of ‘Wuthering Heights’ most put me in mind of Polanski’s ‘Bitter Moon’ – an unrestrained, emotionally charged reimagining of Emily Brontë’s classic that leans heavily into sensuality, cruelty, and obsessive, unrequited love. I last read the novel nearly twenty years ago, and while this version departs significantly in tone and texture, its visceral, almost confrontational approach throws the simplicity of Brontë’s underlying story into sharp relief....

Wastleman (Cal McMau, 2025)

‘Wasteman’ is an exceptionally gripping British prison drama that draws its power from a single, unbearable moral bind. Set almost entirely behind bars, it follows Taylor, played with bruised vulnerability by David Jonsson, who is nearing parole after thirteen years inside. His crime – s upplying a pill at a rave that inadvertently led to the deaths of two young men – hangs over the film like a permanent moral weight....

KMTV Kent Tonight Thursday 12 February 2026

In this week's KMTV film chat on Kent Tonight, I talk to Finn about the porous relationship between horror and romance - with Friday the 13th preceding Valentine's Day this year. Is it possible to be a fan of both horror and romance? Are they really quite so different? And if you make it to the end you'll see my (inadvertent) Jason Statham impression.

The Graduate (Mike Nichols, 1967)

‘The Graduate’ was a risky, destabilizing film for its time. Directed by Mike Nichols, who won the Oscar for Best Director, it arrived in 1967 at a moment of profound cultural upheaval in America. Although the age difference between Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft was only around six years, the film constructs the eponymous Mrs. Robinson as a deeply unhappy married woman with an adult daughter, and Hoffman’s Benjamin Braddock as a newly graduated young man paralyzed by uncertainty....

Cabin FM Tuesday 10 February 2026

For this week's show I was joined by Nicola Hodges whose remarkable journey has seen her turn personal adversity into creativity.

The Chronology of Water (Kristen Stewart, 2025)

‘The Chronology of Water’ sits very naturally within Kristen Stewart’s fascinating career – a performer who moves fluidly between major studio films and uncompromising independent work, and who was Oscar-nominated for playing Princess Diana. This is one of her most inward, elliptical performances: an intensely introspective trauma narrative about a young woman, Lidia (Imogen Poots), abused by her father, who turns to two outlets to survive – competitive swimming and writing....

Primate (Johannes Roberts, 2025)

‘Primate’ is a one-note creature feature in the ‘Cocaine Bear’ mould – this time swapping the bear (and the coke) for a chimpanzee with rabies. The set-up is simple and enjoyably lurid: an isolated clifftop house in Hawaii, a group of twenty-somethings marooned without their anthropologist father, the family chimp, Ben, who has lived with them for years and can even ‘talk’ via a vocaliser keyboard then flips into an animal-from-hell....

Send Help (Sam Raimi, 2026)

‘Send Help’ is a film that wrong-foots its audience, and quite sharply. For the first stretch it plays like a glossy, 1980s-style workplace satire, in the mode of ‘Working Girl’ or ‘American Psycho’ – all alpha posturing, casual misogyny, and a corporate ladder rigged in favour of the loudest man in the room. Then it strands its two leads on a desert island and flips the power dynamic with a wicked little grin....
