This week’s cinema lineup is all about unfinished business. Whether it’s a grudge from 2000 years ago, a job you just lost, or a zombie virus that refuses to die, the past is coming back to haunt us on the big screen. Get your diaries ready, because these heavyweights are landing!
First up, if you like your revenge served cold—and with a side of black comedy—we have 🎞️No Other Choice. This is the latest from Korean master Park Chan-wook, the genius behind Oldboy. It follows a veteran paper mill manager who gets laid off and decides that the only way to reclaim his dignity—and his job—is to eliminate the competition. Literally. It’s dark, satire-heavy, and absolutely gripping.
Then, brace yourselves for 🎞️ 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. This is the second chapter in the new horror trilogy. We’re deep in post-apocalyptic Britain, where the infected aren't the only monsters. Ralph Fiennes stars as a doctor facing a new world order run by a cult leader named Jimmy Crystal. It’s brutal, it’s intense, and it proves that some nightmares just don’t end.
For a different kind of blast from the past, check out 🎞️ Back to the Past. This is the massive Hong Kong action epic where a modern time-traveller stuck in the Qin Dynasty has to face his former student—who just happens to be the Emperor. It’s sword fights, futuristic tech, and ancient grudges colliding.
On a quieter note, we have 🎞️The History of Sound. Set during WWI, this stars Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor as two young men traveling through rural Maine to record folk songs. It’s a sweeping, tender romance about preserving history before it vanishes. A real tear-jerker for the art-house crowd.
Finally, something home-grown and hilarious. 🎞️ The Deb is Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut. It’s a musical set in a drought-stricken country town, where a cynical city cousin tries to blow up the local Debutante Ball. It’s got heart, catchy songs, and that classic Aussie clash between tradition and modern attitude.
From ancient emperors to country balls, history is making a comeback next week. I’ll see you in the front row!
