Directed by Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman is a biographical comedy-drama that interprets the true story of an African-American police officer infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan. Using great performances, interesting ideas and timely themes, Lee’s ‘comedy’ is more of a dark social satire turned horror film.
‘A Quiet Place’, set a couple of years in the future, tells the story of a family learning to survive in a world run by aliens who hunt by sound. As the tag-line says, “If they can’t hear you, they can’t hunt you”. This original idea has been superbly translated onto the big screen, and is a masterclass in jump-scare horror that has big heart.
An enjoyable gothic fairy tale with some stunning practical effects, and some awful CGI effects (click to read more)
