COMPETITION: Win MaXXXine on 4K



From Second Sight Films comes MaXXXine Limited Edition 4K UHD Box Set, set to arrive on 17 November, alongside a Standard Edition.

And to celebrate we have a copy on 4K Standard to give away!

Synopsis:
Modern horror icons Mia Goth (Frankenstein, Infinity Pool, Suspiria) and Ti West (The Sacrament, The Innkeepers) reunite for a glamorous, gritty and gore-filled conclusion to the acclaimed X trilogy with MaXXXine, which now receives a star studded new Limited Edition Box Set release from the best in the business, Second Sight Films.

Goth once again cements herself as a magnetic screen presence with her show stopping performance as Maxine Minx. This seductive horror that pays tribute to Italian Giallo and eighties cinema with its satanic panic, pulp, seedy PIs, corrupt cops, thrilling showdowns and a visual feast of fluorescent colours.

PREVIEW: M: Beyond the Wasteland (2025 Film) - Starring Matej Sivakov and Sasko Kocev


By Jon Donnis

In a world overrun by the undead, two young boys form an unlikely bond as they struggle to survive a brutal post-apocalyptic society in the award-winning sci-fi thriller M: Beyond the Wasteland.

Directed by Vardan Tozija (Amok), this haunting and deeply moving fable follows a boy's desperate search for what remains of humanity amid a landscape ravaged by plague-ridden creatures.

After an acclaimed festival run, including a screening at Grimmfest 2024, the celebrated Macedonian survival drama is set for its UK digital release on 10 November, courtesy of GrimmVision.

In a desolate future where zombies, known as the Evil Ones, have wiped out much of civilisation, a lonely boy named Marko (Matej Sivakov) lives deep in the forest under the strict care of his mysterious father (Sasko Kocev). His world changes when he meets Miko (Aleksandar Nichovski), a gentle boy with Down syndrome, whose kindness sparks both friendship and curiosity about the world beyond their secluded home.

When fate intervenes and Marko's wish for freedom is suddenly granted, his journey becomes one of peril, discovery, and the faint hope that humanity might still endure.

Set against a stark and chilling backdrop, M: Beyond the Wasteland is a powerful and emotional tale of connection and resilience, reminding us that even in ruin, hope can still survive.

Available on digital from 10 November via GrimmVision.

PREVIEW: H is for Hawk (2026 Film) - Stars Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Lindsay Duncan, Denise Gough and Sam Spruell

H is for Hawk

Preview by Jon Donnis

Lionsgate UK has set 23 January 2026 as the UK and Ireland cinema release date for H Is for Hawk, Philippa Lowthorpe's anticipated adaptation of Helen Macdonald's acclaimed memoir. A striking new trailer and artwork have also been released, offering a first look at the film's deeply emotional tone and its windswept landscapes.

Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe (Misbehaviour, The Crown) and co-written with novelist Emma Donoghue, the film stars Claire Foy as Helen, alongside Brendan Gleeson, Lindsay Duncan, Denise Gough, and Sam Spruell. Produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, the project brings together an impressive creative team, promising a poignant and visually rich experience.


At its heart, H Is for Hawk follows Helen, a young academic whose life collapses after the sudden death of her father. Lost in grief and memories of their shared passion for birdwatching, she throws herself into the daunting task of training a goshawk named Mabel. What begins as a distraction soon becomes an all-consuming journey of survival, solitude, and spiritual renewal.

As Helen isolates herself in the quiet edges of Cambridge life, she fills her freezer with hawk food, silences her phone, and immerses herself in the raw world of predator and prey. Through her attempts to tame the fierce bird, she begins to confront her own wildness, exploring how love, loss, and nature intertwine in unexpected ways.

Both an elegy and a celebration, H Is for Hawk promises to be one of early 2026's most emotionally resonant releases, a meditation on the untidy beauty of grief, the power of nature, and the courage it takes to live again.

Sky Cinema has revealed the first trailer and poster for its festive family comedy Tinsel Town, giving audiences an early look at the Christmas story starring Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor, 24) and multi-talented Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect, JoJo Rabbit) ahead of its Sky Cinema release on 5th December.

Sutherland plays Bradley Mack, a washed-up Hollywood action star who finds himself in a quaint, snow-covered village to headline the town's quirky production of Cinderella. There, he meets a cast of eccentric locals who gradually win a place in his heart, including the determined choreographer Jill, played by Wilson.

Comedian Katherine Ryan (The Duchess) appears as Mack's long-suffering agent, while the villagers are brought to life by an impressive ensemble including Derek Jacobi (Gladiator II), Mawaan Rizwan (Juice), Maria Friedman (Unforgotten), Jason Manford (Waterloo Road), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing), Danny Dyer (Rivals), Ray Fearon (Barbie), Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris) and James Lance (Ted Lasso). Meera Syal (The Wheel of Time) plays the production's director. Rising talents Savannah Lee Smith (Cruel Intentions), Theodora Williams, Matilda Firth (Wolf Man) and Eden Hamilton (The Railway Children Return) also feature.

Written by Frazer Flintham, Adam Brown and Piers Ashworth, with additional material by Jake Brunger, the film is directed by Chris Foggin (Bank of Dave) and produced by Matt Williams and Pascal Degove of Future Artists Entertainment, alongside Ava Aashna Chopra, with executive producers Laura Grange, Piers Tempest, Martin Owen and Julia Stuart.

Sky Original Film Tinsel Town will arrive on Sky Cinema on 5th December, 2025.
