FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
The story of a young Donald Trump making a Faustian pact is told this week in The Apprentice, while an infection tears through a French town in MadS. The one-time friendship of Optimus Prime and Megatron is remembered in Transformers One, a woman pursues her supposed true love through multiple lives in Timestalker, and a Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is on an unusual hunt - see our interview with director Ariane Louis-Seize. Contestants are forced into a deadly game show in DarkGame - see what director Howard J Ford told us about it - and middle-aged male strippers find themselves in supernatural peril in Members Club. Traditional haenyeo fishing is the focus of The Last Of The Sea Women, and a bereaved boy attracts something sinister in Daddy's Head, while professional assassins find themselves pinned down by a sniper in Take Cover - we spoke with star Scott Adkins. Art the Clown turns Christmas into a violent night in Terrifier 3, and there are re-releases for Back To The Future Part II and Gladiator.
We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven. Plus read our selection of London Film Festival highlights.
