Dial M for Middlesbrough (2019)

This horror-mystery comedy takes imagery from umpteen horrors and whodunnits, and gives it all a pretty good comic spin. I suppose a reasonable description would be 'Cluedo meets I Know What You Did Last Summer'. We're treated to plenty of familiar UK TV comedic and dramatic actors - often playing against type (standouts are the wonderful Phil Davies, Annette Crosbie, Jason Donovan (beautifully parodying his real life persona), Sian Gibson, and the irrepressible Johnny Vegas). The whole cast look like they're having a ball, sending up just about every slasher trope you can think of - including increasingly ludicrous amounts of blood 'n' guts. At an hour and a half it's long enough to do justice to the idea without overstaying its welcome. Like most straight horror films and thrillers it's at its most entertaining when you don't know the answer to the mystery, but the solution is a funny (and unexpected) one. 7.5/10.

I want somebody to tell me WHY is this movie still so damn good after nearly 35 years?! This holds up so well after all this time. The turtles have so much personality, the action is good, the cinematography is moody and immaculate, the SCORE is fantastic and of course the practical costumes and puppetry put most of today’s cgi to shame.

Absolute film classic.
 
A Man Called Otto I have to say this is my all time fave Tom Hanks performance he was amazing in this his character reminded me of certain people I knew in my life and I adored the cat as I have a gray cat myself.
