Marty Supreme is thrilling, stressful, hilarious, and deeply uncomfortable in the best possible way.

Sony Pictures have released the final trailer for the Anaconda remake, well the making of a remake — Anaconda releases in cinemas on Boxing Day.

In an era where “true crime” and documentaries as a whole have been hollowed out into content sludge, Predators stands out as one of the most intelligent, ethically challenging documentaries I’ve seen in years.
