Parental Guidance 2012
Completely bland and forgettable.

Mama 2013
Del Toro knows how to pick 'em! Great, if a little contrived at times, and much better than most horror released these days, eschewing gore in favour of old-style scares (though jump scares always feel a bit cheap). Parents, prepare to shed a tear or two, especially at the end... or maybe I'm just soft.

The Cabin in the Woods 2012
Absolutely loved it. A love letter to traditional horror films, whilst also poking fun at the conventions, and consciously filled with numerous tropes and homages. The last third had me grinning ear to ear :-) Instabuy!

The Raid: Redemption 2012
Super cool, awesome action flick from Gareth Evans (a Welsh ex-pat living in Indonesia). Super-gory, so steer clear if you can't handle copious spurts of blood, but brilliantly choreographed, with some of the best martial arts (great to see more Pencak Silat after 'Merantau') fights I've seen in a long while. Can't wait for 'Berandal'!
