“Host:” Quarantine Horror for the Online Generation
Shudder’s Host (not a particularly original title, I must say) attempts to bring the spooks to “the quarantine generation” by presenting us with a scary Zoom call during lockdown.

RADAR is the concert film that captures TesseracT’s defining appearance at Radar Festival 2024 in Manchester. England. Where the movie immerses you in the full spectacle, this soundtrack edition distills the extraordinary energy of that night into its purest form: sound. This unique offering captures the band at a peak moment in their career, performing to a sold-out crowd and delivering a performance that feels less like a show and more like a rite of passage. From its inception, TesseracT’s 2024 Radar performance was about pushing boundaries - expanding the dimensions of what a TesseracT show could be. The performance soars even higher with the addition of Choir Noir, led by the indomitable Kat Marsh, whose imprint was vital in shaping the vocals on 2023’s landmark War Of Being. The setlist of RADAR O.S.T. is a ferocious journey through career-defining anthems including 'War Of Being', 'Legion', 'Nocturne' and 'Natural Disaster'.

'The Wiz' has the propensity for paying homage to black culture with R&B music, graffiti and jazzy elements that make it incredibly entertaining.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
If you remember the days of the 24 hour Overnight Challenge on YouTube, Secret Mall Apartment will tickle your nostalgia receptors.
