Stars: Hannaj Bang Bendz, Jacob Anderton, Martyn Luke, Sean Tizzard, Ben Manning, Vicki Glover | Written and Directed by Steve Lawson
Ship of the Damned opens with a brief prologue set on board a pirate ship in 1622. As the ship sails through a storm, the crew prepare for dinner. Which for them means rather tamely hacking a bound woman to death and eating her raw flesh. In the present, Elena has her martial arts training interrupted by a phone call from her ex, Michael. He hasn’t taken the breakup well and keeps finding reasons to call her, but this time it’s legit, even if it doesn’t sound like it.
The Coast Guard have found what appears to be a seventeenth-century sailing ship drifting off the coast and towed it into port. Since she’s an expert in such things, he’d like her to come down and be part of the investigation.

Freeze gave us Lovecraftian horrors in the Arctic, now for a followup writer/director Charlie Steeds takes us to the Antarctic to face even more of them in the deep sea thriller Gods of the Deep.
Jim Peters is a professor of astrobiology at Miskatonic University’s London campus. He’s carrying on the work of his father, who vanished under mysterious circumstances while working for The Pickman Corporation. They help fund his research, but that doesn’t mean he trusts them. But when they want him to join an expedition to explore a strange structure discovered in an oceanic trench off Antarctica, he can’t refuse.
The film skips over the two months of training they need without so much as a Rocky-style montage, so the next thing you know...

For the number of grunts there are in this movie, you would think it’s competing with Kill Bill. I am Rage, directed by David Ryan Keith, gave me multiple episodes of Deja Vu because the fight sequences and their beats are so similar that I thought I had seen them before, in the same film, that is. Is it a ‘revenge thriller,’ or is it a ‘slasher movie,’ or is it a metaphor for feminine rage? I guess writer Stephen Durham didn’t care too much. Otherwise, why would he build up a story such as this, which feels so ‘co-incidental’, yet at one point the film managed to grip me, until the repetitive action scenes took me out of it. It seems the idea was to take the best parts of all the relevant subgenres and put them in a melting pot to see what came out. The performances are decent,...

Co-writer/director David Ryan Keith begins his film with the sight of a woman (Marta Svetek) readying herself to work, applying lipstick before she puts on her uniform of a mask and a black cloak. She then enters a room highlighting her depraved task, which involves a man tied to a chair and the table of utensils before him. While the man manages to free himself, any hopes of escape are fleeting as he is soon beaten down and executed, with a bucket underneath his slit throat collecting as much blood as possible to prevent “a waste of a good product”.
Meanwhile, Erin (Hannaj Bang Bendz) is preparing for a tranquil getaway with her boyfriend, Adam (Derek Nelson). Joining them are Adam’s brother, Michael (Luke Aquilina), along with his girlfriend,...

So my father didn’t really teach me much in the way of life lessons but he did impart one piece of wisdom to live by… “Kevin,” he said, “you can never trust a man with three first names”.
It was with that in mind that I sat down to watch director David Ryan Keith’s latest project I Am Rage. Billed as a woman on a mission of revenge thriller from the team behind 2020 flick Army of One. Another female-driven thriller that I really dug and going by the trailer we were in for more of the same only dialled up to 11.

So, yeah… I like revenge movies. What of it? And, sure: it might be a little niche. But I like movies in which young women turn the tables on the baddies with, as I believe the expression goes, ‘extreme prejudice'. Which is why, having recently started a subscription with Netflix, I have been steadily working my way through a list of films in which the hero of the hour is a woman who happens to be ex-CIA, ex-special forces, ex-whatever, just trying to get along, when her peace is disturbed by assorted villains and ne’er-do-wells.
