| Otley |
| The charming Otley pairs Tom Courtenay with Romy Schneider in a playful take on international espionage. It's a must for fans of Courtenay, which makes clydefro one happy camper. He reviews the film and the recent Indicator Blu-ray. |

| Isle of Dogs |
| A Jacques Cousteau adventure, an ornate European hotel tale, two children in love and an animated fox… It doesn’t seem to matter how diverse this director’s works are, they are all unmistakably Wes Anderson films. Camus visits the Isle of Dogs… |

| The Passenger |
| If some cinema is an acquired taste, then welcome to Michelangelo Antonioni, an Italian master with a few English-speaking classics under his belt. Camus takes on the third of his English-speaking, MGM trilogy, The Passenger on Indicator’s new Blu-ray. |

| Ready Player One |
| After the unusual experience of a certified flop with The BFG, Steven Spielberg roars back into cinemas in some style with Ready Player One, a novel adaptation firmly – if virtually – planted in Spielberg’s most iconic decades. Camus straps in… |

| Town on Trial |
| John Mills plays a bullish Scotland Yard detective who travels to a rural English town to help solve a murder in John Guillermin's unevenly structured but intriguing drama. In his first review for some time, Gort has mixed feelings about the film, but loves Indicator's wonderfully featured Blu-ray. |

| Gumshoe |
| Albert Finney heads a delightful cast in Stephen Frears' gloriously witty if slightly problematic feature debut. Slarek delights in the film's many virtues on Indicator's typically fine Blu-ray, and ruminates on the barrier to total engagement created by the lead character's flip racism. |

| Annihilation |
| Alex Garland first came to my attention with his novel The Beach but it was only after his official directorial debut with the sublime Ex Machina, did I sit up. Camus crosses through the shimmer and reviews Netflix’s recent acquisition, Annihilation… |

| Re: Born |
| If you're looking for a sharply filmed and tightly choreographed demonstration of zero-range combat techniques, then you'll find them aplenty in Shimomura Yuji's Re: Born. Slarek salutes the action secenes, but wishes they were more varied in content and execution. |

| Hammer Volume Two: Criminal Intent |
| Indicator's second box set of lesser-seen Hammer movies features four fascinating crime thrillers, each with spanking new transfers and a fine collection of special features. Slarek does battle with a bout of flu to immerse himself in one of the year's best releases so far. |

| Silence and Cry |
| With stunning landscapes captured by an almost ever-moving camera and often uninterrupted long takes, the 1968 Hungarian film Silence and Cry is an invigorating cinema experience underscored by an angry and frustrated political slant. The Second Run Blu-ray is reviewed here by clydefro. |

| Ship of Fools |
| Stanley Kramer, if his movies are to be believed, was a true mensch, mindful of ignorant choices that make life unbearable for those we choose to shun for their otherness, their beliefs or skin colour. Camus is impressed by Ship of Fools… |

| The Mystery of Picasso |
| The process through which the work of one of the twentieth century's most iconic artists is created is compellingly explored in Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1956 The Mystery of Picasso. A fascinated Slarek reviews the film on the recently released Arrow Academy Blu-ray. |

| House |
| One of the maddest and most inventive comic horror films you're ever likely to see, Ôbayashi Nobuhiko's mind-bending 1977 House has been given a welcome Blu-ray upgrade from Eureka's Masters of Cinema label. Slarek has his brain fried again, but this time in crisp 1080p. |

| The Shape of Water |
| Acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro, a fantastical aquatic creature, a wildly hissable villain, Camus’ favourite working actress and almost universal global acclaim... What, as they say, can go wrong? Camus dives in to The Shape of Water… |

| Strangled |
| A true-life Hungarian serial killer case from late 50s and early 60s is the basis for writer-director Árpád Sopsits's compelling psychological thriller. Slarek is gripped, and impressed by the transfer on the Blu-ray in the new dual format release from Eureka's Montage Pictures. |
