Starring Danny Dyer, Ryan Sampson, and Harriet Webb.
Nosferatu (24 July)
Film (2024). Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
From the ScreenHub review: ‘It was pretty clear after his films The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman that Robert Eggers was emerging as a modern horror auteur. Each of these films have such a clear, well-executed style, usually incorporating protagonists facing some kind of folk-loric madness, or existential threat that manifests as a beast, and presented in washed-out colour palettes with deep, dark shadows (or in the case of The Lighthouse, completely shot on black and white film).’
‘If you weren’t convinced of his mastery before, Nosferatu is the film that will change that. Like those previous films, much of the stunning aesthetic is thanks to cinematographer Jarin Blaschke. A number of shots in this film made me gasp with delight, primarily the birds-eye tracking shot over the town as the shadow of Orlock’s hand stretches out over the rooftops in the moonlight. While obvious in its metaphor, it is nonetheless a sumptuous visual.’
Starring Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Botched Season 4 (28 July)
Series. In Season 4 of Botched, world-renowned surgeons tackle the most shocking plastic surgery fails yet. From extreme transformations to emotional reveals, every episode is jaw-dropping; expect high drama, real stakes and incredible makeovers. It’s the fix-it show you can’t look away from.
Botched Season 4 technically slips into next week’s Binge streaming list, but we’ll keep this in as a teaser for what’s to come.
