No spoilers here, just an enthusiastic recommendation for you to buy and watch this wonderful film. This is not a love story, it’s a life story, a soul story and yes it may have some extremely violent scenes in it, it has to be one of the best (along with I Saw The Devil) films to come out of Korea.

The intricacies and emotion in this are truly astounding and it is hands down, one of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. It’s just beautiful, and you’d think watching a film for 90 mins about a tree would be hard work, but it is as exciting as any Bond film.

I can only describe this as a sort of mixture of Beetlejuice and every Gothy type teeny series on Netflix – like Sabrina and Wednesday, but with a darker (rapey, murdery) edge.

Directed by Euzan Palcy and co-written by Colin Welland, based upon André Brink’s novel, A Dry White Season was made in a time when Apartheid was still in place in South Africa.

Looks absolutely sumptuous in this 4K UHD release, the crimson of the title bursting from the screen as vivid as I’ve ever seen it.

There comes a point in the film where I asked Mr 60MWto turn it off, as I didn’t want to see anymore…but I was glued to the screen. What followed was an hour of absolute anguish, horror and trepidation.

This psycho-drama/slasher/borderline comedy is one hell of a fun watch and has never looked better than on this Severin Films release, which is available for the first time ever in UHD, scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 6 hours of new and archival Special Features.

Mansion of the Doomed is one of those “how the hell has this passed me by until now?” kind of movies, with a crazy story and fantastic cast that had me enthralled until the very end.

The Promised Land (or ‘Bastarden’) couples together director by Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) and Mads Mikkelsen in another superior Danish Historical epic.
