Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala’s “Goodnight Mommy”
Effective though disturbing horror fairytale with echoes of Takashi Miike, Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos simmers slowly until boiling over in its final horrific act
Kyle Edward Ball’s “Skinamarink”
This sustained atmospheric, psychological horror is like a distilled nightmare summoning childhood terrors that tap into the root of our fears
Ruth Paxton’s “A Banquet”
Some exceptional direction from Paxton and terrific performances fail to save a meandering script which compares unfavourably to Rose Glass’ “Saint Maud” for which it has some striking similarities
