Five Nights at Freddy's 2 ultimately lands as a more confident, emotionally resolute chapter that isn’t afraid to get dark. Closing with a chilling kind of quiet, a reminder that some battles are lost from the inside out.

There’s something admirable about Universe25 — its ambition, its stillness, its willingness to hold mystery without rushing to explain it. When it connects, it does so with an almost devotional aura, like a whispered confession in a quiet church. But it’s also uneven, sometimes opaque to the point of frustration, and more atmospheric than emotionally affecting.

In this festive episode of the Film Focus Online podcast, host Elliot Lines and guest Romey Norton dive into their favourite Christmas films, discussing what makes a good holiday movie, sharing their top picks, and exploring the themes and nostalgia associated with these beloved classics.

Dracula (or Dracula: A Love Tale as it is also known), is a mixed bag of an adaptation. It takes some bold swings, features some genuinely stellar visuals and an excellent lead performance from Jones. However, clashing tones, hindered pacing and inconsistent performances hold it back.

Zootopia 2 is the rare follow-up that justifies its existence. It expands the world in ways that feel purposeful, deepens its central duo without betraying their charms, and populates its streets with characters — from Gary the Snake to Pawbert the Lynx and the beleaguered Beaver — who are as funny as they are meaningful.

The ending is poignant, thought-provoking and will send shivers down your spine. Yes Repeat No is not a comforting film, but it is an essential one. It’s a bracing, unflinching interrogation of identity and conflict, delivered with creative courage and emotional intelligence.

In an era when dehumanization spreads faster than truth, this film serves as a necessary, resonant counterweight. It doesn’t simply ask viewers to remember; it asks them to move forward, together, deliberately toward a world where empathy has a fighting chance. For the Living is thought-provoking, powerful and possibly one of the best documentaries I've seen all year.

In this episode of the Film Focus Online podcast, host Elliot Lines and guest Jack Ransom delve into the filmography of legendary director James Cameron.

Bitter Desire isn’t trying to reinvent the thriller. This isn’t a movie that chases shock value; it’s a nice indie that wants to entertain its audience. With a runtime of an hour and ten, this is a film you can sit back and relax to, have on in the background when friends are round, or when you’re doing chores. It's a slow, but fun ride.

It was always going to be an ask to adapt a messy, rushed, second act of a stage musical into a film that feels full and coherent, and Jon M Chu clearly struggles here and Wicked: For Good suffers not being able to reach the lofty heights of the first part.

Keeper is a disappointing new offering from Perkins, especially given how solid both his prior two outings are. Stylistically and visually the film does excel throughout, the idea behind the reveal is interesting and Maslany is locked in.

The Now You See Me film franchise launched back in 2013, carving out its own niche: a mirage of captivating sleight of hand, heists and enchanting display of trickery. In this feature, we’ll revisit each instalment, taking a closer look at how they contributed to the franchise’s clever world of showmanship and deception.

Disney launches the first trailer for the highly anticipated live-action Moana starring Catherine Laga'aia and Dwayne Johnson, who reprises his roles as demigod Maui — Sailing into cinemas July 10, 2026.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is a stylish, spirited return to a franchise that thrives on charm and misdirection. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, and its attempt to balance old and new occasionally leaves the story unfocused, but it delivers enough spectacle and personality to justify its comeback.
