Read on for a selection of reviews or pop in to make up your own mind!

 

BOYS FROM COUNTY HELL

‘Chris Baugh’s film doesn’t balance its piss-taking and blood-sucking duties with as much comedy-horror sprezzatura as Edgar Wright does – but sloshes enough briny humour around to make it more than passable craic itself.’

3/5 – The Guardian

‘Vampire hounds might balk, but “Boys from County Hell” has it right: This is a story about people, not monsters.’

Grade: B- – IndieWire

‘’Boys From County Hell’ is a fiendishly enjoyable horror comedy with authentic performances by its cast, and a slyly funny take on the vampire trope.’

4/5 – Entertainment.ie

 

NOW, VOYAGER

‘Davis’s performance is at once spiky and angular and yet also soft, sensual and vulnerable. The excellent Henreid is perfectly cast. This film is exquisitely crafted and passionately acted.’

5/5 – The Guardian

 

SON

‘Son is a thrilling ride into the bloodied entrails of terror and paranoia and is definitely worth consideration.’

3.5/5 – Screen Rant
