The director-star team of Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan (Creed, Black Panther) joined forces again to make this genre-bending 1930s-set film one of the biggest hits of 2025. Jordan plays twin brothers who return to their hometown to open a dance club, never suspecting it’s going to be overrun by vampires. As a supernatural musical period horror with a predominantly Black cast, Sinners is a true original. Also starring Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) and Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee).

Benicio del Toro (One Battle After Another) and Mia Threapleton (I Am… Ruth) are an unlikely father-daughter duo in the latest film from ultra-quirky director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel). Wily industrialist Zsa Zsa (Del Toro) is sick of constantly escaping assassination attempts and decides to hand over his business empire to estranged daughter Liesl (Threapleton) – who’s also a novice nun. Anderson’s work always attracts a full house of famous faces and Scarlett Johansson, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bill Murray and Benedict Cumberbatch are among the stellar cast of this intricate and whimsical comedy.

Cult comedian Tim Robinson, creator of bizarro sketch show I Think You Should Leave and current hit The Chair Company, stars as Craig, a socially awkward man who unexpectedly hits it off with his laid-back neighbour Austin (Paul Rudd, Ghostbusters: Afterlife). After a couple of fun get-togethers, Craig thinks this new experience might help him overcome his problems – but what starts as friendship turns into something much darker. This offbeat study of insecurity has been described by critics as “stressful”, “hilarious”, “painful” and “the funniest film I’ve seen in my life”. A true one-off.

With the next instalment 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple coming to cinemas in January, reacquaint yourself with the series’ terrifying post-apocalyptic world.

What do Lucien Laviscount (Emily In Paris), Hannah John-Kamen (Thunderbolts*), Ethan Embry (Grace And Frankie), Lewis Tan (Deadpool & Wolverine), Holt McCallany (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning) and Adam Levy (Industry) have in common? Apart from impressive on-screen resumés, they’re also co-stars in this fast-paced thriller. Following a brutal ambush on the US vice-president's motorcade, six federal agents take shelter in a high-security safe house which consequently goes into lockdown. But when the detonator signal for the attacks is traced to their location, a desperate race against time ensues as the agents try to uncover the perpetrator hidden within their group.

Burn Gorman (Frankenstein), Suki Waterhouse (Daisy Jones & The Six) and Rory Kinnear (The Diplomat) also feature in this taut thriller.

Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden makes his directorial debut in this 1990s-set comedy thriller in which fan obsession goes to the next level.

When Papa Smurf is kidnapped and spirited off to another realm by the evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel, it’s up to the plucky residents of the magical Smurf village to bring him back home to safety.

Writer/actors Tim Key (The Paper) and Tom Basden (Here We Go) are the creative forces behind this bittersweet comedy drama that critics loved. A reclusive lottery winner realises his dream of reuniting his favourite musical act at a private gig hosted at his remote island home – but everyone involved has personal and professional axes to grind. Key and Basden are joined in the lead roles by multiple Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan (She Said), while Akemnji Ndifornyen (Black Ops) and Sian Clifford (Fleabag) round off the cast.

Who has the stone face and gravelly voice to do justice to a revival of this classic comedy series? None other than grizzled tough guy Liam Neeson, who takes on the role of Frank Drebin Jr (son of Leslie Nielsen’s original bumbling cop) and finds himself caught up in a major investigation after some criminal types steal an artefact called the Primordial Law Of Toughness Device. Wackiness very much ensues, as a joke-packed script takes Frank and love interest Beth (Pamela Anderson, The Last Showgirl) through a ridiculous sequence of unlikely events. Will they catch the crooks? It doesn’t really matter when the laughs are guaranteed.

The modern remake of the 1984 cult-classic splatter satire of the same name is a must-watch for fans of the superhero genre. When downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze (Peter Dinklage, Wicked) has a run-in with some dangerous sludge, he’s transformed into unlikely hero the Toxic Avenger, and uses his newfound powers to embark on a one-mutant mission of revenge against the corrupt corporations that threaten his loved ones and community. Riotous fun that proves that justice is best served radioactive.
