    The Beast
    There are some stunning moments, such as the eerily green-screened opener, and an unsettling underwater sequence up there with Dario Argento’s Inferno. But the 145-minute runtime feels increasingly indulgent, and Bonello borrows heavily from Kubrick, Lynch and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    Late Night with the Devil
    Dastmalchian shines as Delroy, mugging to the studio audience as things spiral out of control, all the while rubbing his hands that he has managed to create the TV event of the decade. And along the way, the filmmakers pull off some rather nasty surprises.

    Love Lies Bleeding
    More fever dream than film, Love Lies Bleeding shows that Glass is the real deal. Who knows what sights she has to show us next?

    Saint Maud
    A stark, sinister chamber piece built on atmosphere and performances. Morfydd Clark is a revelation.

    Crawl
    Aja brings an exciting if less- than-watertight script to life with a minimum of fuss, plenty of flair and just a few eye-rolls.

    Annabelle Comes Home
    Creakily slick like the rest of The Conjuring series, this spring-loaded spook story hits the mark more often than not.

    Son of Saul
    A film to make your blood run cold, Nemes’ first-person account of life, and death, in a concentration camp contains horrors you can’t – and shouldn’t – unsee.

    Stan & Ollie
    Gently joyous, from soup to nuts. Take your grandparents and they’ll enjoy it as much as you.

    American Animals
    Running from entertaining to tense as hell, Layton’s docu-drama heist flick grapples with something that most capers can’t even begin to compute: consequences.

    The Endless
    Benson and Moorhead’s sophisticated sci-fi/horror features minimal SFX but more ideas than a TED talk. Uncanny, and uncannily good.

    Ghost Stories
    Bone-chillingly told and beautifully made, Ghost Stories is an expert twist on an evergreen genre.

    A Quiet Place
    Cleverly making the most of the quiet-LOUD-quiet-LOUD dynamics of most horror films, the sound is the real star.

    I, Tonya
    Like Tonya on the ice, this vicious black comedy is lean, mean and hard to take your eyes off.

    Winchester
    For all their technical competence, the Spierig brothers don’t show great understanding of how ghost stories actually work.

    Molly's Game
    Bloom’s an extraordinary character, expertly played, and we gradually move from admiring her chutzpah to genuinely caring what happens to her.

    Nails
    Dennis Bartok’s sparse horror has a spooky central conceit, and just about overcomes its budgetary bumps, while Macdonald excels as the innocent.

    The Vault
    A rubbish fright flick.

    The Work
    What emerges is as riveting as it is revelatory.

    Wind River
    Sheridan directs as well as writes for the first time, and delivers a superb thriller with a powerful chill that gets in your bones. Smart, tense and soulful.

    A Ghost Story
    Like an arthouse Ghost, this is bold, original filmmaking with a pervasive sense of amused detachment.

    The Survivalist
    Too slow for the mainstream, perhaps, this presents a disgusted worldview thats painstakingly plausible, however much we may wish differently.

    The Eyes of My Mother
    Immaculately poised but almost completely pointless, it moves from chin-strokingly pretentious to profoundly depressing.

    Aftermath
    Reducing promising material to movie-of-the-week status, Aftermath is well meaning, but anonymously made.

    T2 Trainspotting
    Wiser, sadder but very much alive and kicking, T2 is a film that knows you can’t compete with the ghosts of the past. But at least you can dance with them.

    Anthropoid
    Ellis has a real flair for action – the assassination scene is heart-stopping – but patchy accents, strange pacing and an overstretched budget nearly scupper proceedings.
    • 54 Metascore

    I Am Not a Serial Killer
    Intelligent, original and committed, it’s also a little meandering. But Records cuts a strikingly amoral figure, and the sight of Christopher Lloyd intoning poetry over dying embers reminds us what a wonderful actor he is.

    The Childhood of a Leader
    Submit to Corbet’s vision and you’ll find something original and unsettling.
    • 47 Metascore

    Blair Witch
    Wingard and Barrett’s surprise – and surprisingly strong – sequel earns its scares. An effective follow-up to a film that can’t be matched.
    • 84 Metascore

    13 Assassins
    All politics and posturing, the first two-thirds of the film are stiff and uninvolving, and although the climatic 45-minute free-for-all is genuinely spectacular, it’s clear where the director’s heart lies.

    Author: The JT LeRoy Story
    The result is so far-fetchedly entertaining it feels like a fantasist’s fevered imaginings. Which, in a way, it is.
