Sinners
Premieres 18th April in Cinemas
A Gothic horror from Ryan Coogler with Michael B. Jordan in a dual role? Say less. Set in 1930s Southern America, it follows twin brothers who return home and are later trapped in a secluded barn with a group of strangers. They are forced to relive and confront their sinful secrets and oh—vampires too! Genre-blending and deeply atmospheric, the film explores generational trauma, racial injustice, and salvation in a supernatural setting. It’s more than jump scares, it’s storytelling with a serious bite. Creepy and moody, this is one of the boldest horror films of the year. Don’t go in anticipating clichés, this movie promises to linger long after the credits roll.

Joe Goldberg is back—and for the last time. Netflix’s hit thriller series brings the anti-hero full circle as he returns to New York, haunted by ghosts of his past (some literal, some not).

With familiar faces and secrets unravelling, the hunt is on—not just for love, but for redemption. Can the bookworm-turned-serial stalker finally outrun who he is… or will he be consumed by it?

The Accountant 2
Premieres 25th April in Cinemas
Ben Affleck suits up again as Christian Wolff in this action-packed sequel to the 2016 sleeper hit. This time, the brilliant but deadly forensic accountant uncovers a cybercrime conspiracy that pulls him back into a world of ruthless violence, numbers, and brotherly drama. Jon Bernthal reprises his role as Brax, and the sibling dynamic takes centre stage amidst the hail of bullets. Fans can expect higher stakes with intense action sequences, high-tech intrigue, and Affleck’s signature stoicism. It’s part action-thriller, part brainy procedural—accounting has never looked cooler. If you liked the first one, this one doubles down. A satisfying, smart sequel with punch.
