All the devils are here…or as cinema would have you believe.

The fact that William Friedkin’s 1973 classic The Exorcist is lauded as highly as it should not be seen as an open door for others to attempt to match its ferocity of film making in a subject matter that leaves little to the imagination and at times a bad taste in the mouth as its religious fervour is one of corruptibility in the face of cinematic dogma.

The thought is usually unsaid, the lips not wishing or willing to suggest or insist the terrible truth, that the lines between law and order are often blurred, clouded by the fact that the ones defending the thin blue line are as often or not just as capable of being the ones to whom mayhem and murder are just as appealing a prospect.

If the Devil is in the detail, then it must have taken one hell of a being to come up with the intricacies that lay in the world of Ankh-Morpork, and the realm that encompasses Discworld.

Nobody truly disappears without a reason, whether it is in the spirit of foul play, a release from the pressure of life, or in the act of rage fuelled revenge, people don’t vanish from public life unless there is a motive lurking under the soil of the person’s existence in which leads to the art of murder being employed.

The Huntsman: Winter’s War. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron, Nick Frost, Sheridan Smith, Alexandra Roach, Rob Brydon, Sam Hazeldine, Robert Portal, Sope Dirisu, Annabelle Dowler, Colin Morgan, Ralph Ineson, Liam Neeson.

Winter is always coming; it just depends on how far you are willing to go in which to protect yourself against the savagery of war that plunges mortal beings into the ways of the warrior. Frost calls and the Huntsmen go in search of more lands to steal; it might not sound like a fairy tale but The Huntsman: Winter’s War is no story in which to consult The Brother’s Grimm over, this is a made up sequel of its own creation.

The Witch, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Anya-Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw, Ellie Grainger, Lucas Dawson, Bathsheba Garnett, Sarah Stephens, Julian Richings, Wahab Chaudrey.

It is in the richness of performance, in the attention to the madness to come as the idea of witchcraft in the young colonies and towns that made up the New England Commonwealth, which makes The Witch such a startling and intriguing film in which to savour.
