CANDYMAN | Horror | Now streaming
Don't say his name
For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini Green neighbourhood were terrorised by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror.
In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II from Watchmen and Us) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris from If Beale Street Could Talk and The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore the true story behind Candyman in his paintings, unknowingly unleashing a terrifying new wave of violence.
Yahya was named Best Actor in a Horror Movie at the 2022 Critics Choice Super Awards, where Candyman was also up for Best Horror Movie. Yahya also won at the 2022 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, Nia daCosta was named one of Palm Springs International Film Festivals' Directors to Watch, and the horror was up for BET and Black Reel Awards, among other honours.
A number one box office hit, Candyman was the sixth best-reviewed horror film of 2021 on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 84% critics' rating.
UNCHARTED | Action-adventure | Now streaming
The 11th-biggest box office hit of 2022 so far, Uncharted introduces audiences to street-smart Nathan Drake (People's Choice winner Tom Holland, aka Spider-Man) and showcases his first treasure-hunting adventure with wisecracking partner Victor Sully Sullivan (Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg).
Inspired by the acclaimed video game series, this action-adventure epic spans the globe and follows Nate and Sully as they embark on the dangerous pursuit of the greatest treasure never found while also tracking clues that may lead to Nate's long-lost brother.
Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas and Sophia Ali (Dr Dahlia Qadri in Grey's Anatomy) co-star.
BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC | Comedy | Now streaming
Once told during a time-travelling adventure that they'd save the universe, two would-be rockers from San Dimas, California find themselves as middle-aged dads still trying to crank out a hit song and fulfil their destiny.
Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix) and Alex Winter (BIll & Ted's Excellent Adventure) reunite, with Emmy nominees Kristen Schaal (What We Do In The Shadows) and Anthony Carrigan (No-Ho Hank in Barry) joining the cast alongside musos like Dave Grohl and Kid Cudi.
Bill & Ted Face The Music has an 83% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Variety using terms like most excellent and bodacious in their review. The movie also earned People's Choice nominations for Favour
