Attention gore and Christmas fans! Silent Night, Deadly Night giveaway (in cinemas December 11th)

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 01:01:00 +0000

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT reimagines a 1984 cult horror classic in which a young boy witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fuelled by a twisted sense of justice, he dons the red suit, turning the advent calendar into a series of nights of terror. As Christmas Eve approaches, a small town becomes his latest hunting ground, where the naughty and bad pay the ultimate price. Blending psychological horror, brutal slasher thrills, a touch of the supernatural, and – more shockingly still – a sprinkle of romance, the film delivers a modern chilling new take on the ultimate holiday nightmare.

Presence - review

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 04:26:00 +0000

What’s that, a wacky high-concept single-camera almost one-take feeling movie? Well that must be our boy Steven Soderbergh doing what he does. His latest Presence didn’t entirely work for me, but it’s not without its charms.

Presence skillfully positions the audience into the perspective of an ethereal being, which is attached to a particular house by way of traumatic events. We witness a young family move into the home and go about their daily lives. Soon after, it’s apparent that the family is dealing with a series of ongoing issues. Although novel, these relationships aren’t that compelling to watch unfold.

So why didn’t this work for? Simply put, I found the perspective more of a distraction than an aid to the storytelling. I kept catching myself being too aware that there’s a camera person in the scene, effectively breaking that magical bond we’re all seeking with movies. It was a constant reminder of the artifice of it all. Notwithstanding that, I appreciate the swings Mr Soderbergh takes. He could’ve delivered just another haunted house flick, but instead strives to find the new in a tried and tested formula.

For me the performances were unfortunately a mixed bag. Lucy Liu (Rebekah) and Chris Sullivan (Chris) play the parents of Callina Liang (Chloe) and Eddy Mayday (Tyler). Maybe I’m biased as a newish dad, but I really liked the performances of Chris and Chloe, as father and daughter who clearly confided in one another throughout the tumultuous times for the family. It felt real and lived in. Conversely, I never bought Rebekah constant dotting over Tyler, despite his increasingly toxic behaviour. At times Tyler edged towards the cartoonish. West Mulholland plays West, a menacing peripheral character who like Tyler, was played was too broadly for my liking.

Although it didn’t quite work for me, i feel compelled to encourage folks to catch Presence. At times it feels like i dare say cause i hate the expression, an ‘art house’ effort, but dear reader, for those brief moments when it works, it truly sings. I want to have lengthy conversations with folks after it. It’s the kind of film you’d see and then grab a few wines to breakdown with a mate.

If you see the film and agree or disagree with my take, feel free to drop us a comment below, or pop over to our Facebook page to have a chat. We love hearing from everyone after they catch up with new releases.

Katie, a freelance video editor in desperate need of work, receives a high-paying offer to edit a cryptic and bizarre video from an anonymous employer. Strapped for cash and facing eviction, Katie eagerly accepts the gig. The video depicts people being tortured and even killed on camera — surely just elaborately staged fiction.

Strange figures in her apartment, horrific nightmares keeping her awake, and a mysterious illness plaguing her cat. It’s only when Katie decides to finally quit the job that she learns just how cruel her anonymous employer really is, and to what bloody lengths she herself will go to get out of her contract.

Better Man - review

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 03:29:00 +0000

Over the past few years I’ve had my hands full with a couple of small life milestones. You know, having our first kid and completing a law degree. Now with a smidge more time on my hands, I’d like to get back to jotting down some thoughts on the films I watch. Far from an in-depth analysis, more just contemporaneous notes to figure out if I liked it or not.

Better Man from director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) details the life and escapades of everyone’s favourite former-bad-boy Robbie Williams.

Having Robbie Williams represented as a CGI monkey in a biographical movie probably shouldn’t work, but ultimately it does. More on that later. Although the visual effects border on patchy now and then, the concept thankfully papers over the shortcomings of Better Man.

Unlike the obscenely sanitised Bohemian Rhapsody, Better Man doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of Williams’ story. We’re treated to every pint sculled, line snorted, relationship trashed and the rest of Williams shitty antics along the way. Which is partially the problem, it’s all just a little cliche at this point. Inner demons summoned by a meteoric rise to success, resulting in near-nuclear meltdown via self destruction. In its defence, at least Better Man is somewhat critical of the very concept of fame and celebrity, albeit without proffering a new perspective.

Now, the monkey of it all. I admire the creative decision to portray Robbie Williams this way. It felt fresh, without feeling like a gimmick. The use of a CGI character, allows Robbie Williams to voice his own portrayal. Coming on the heels of Elvis, Rocket Man, Back to Black and Bob Marley: One Love amongst other recent music biopics, I was more than happy to hear Williams effectively narrating his life, instead of watching a young actor doing their best Robbie impression.

The depiction of the monkey extenuated the film’s themes of self-doubt and overcoming crippling anxiety. As it investigates the duality of the ‘performing monkey’ who possesses supreme confidence in the spotlight, but who’s hunted by intrusive thoughts . These thoughts are depicted by versions of Monkey Williams stalking him during his stage performances. Repetitive, but effective for the most part.

While I’m mostly positive about Better Man, there’s some fairly glaring issues with the visual presentation. Full disclosure, I caught this at the cinema in picturesque Merimbula. Cute little cinema, but long overdue an upgrade across the board. There’s a digital sheen over the film that I just didn’t care for. It’s as if someone has smeared digital Vaseline over the lens. Doesn’t help that the film opts for a rather gaudy look which for me, undermined most of the emotional resonance the film achieved.

Your mileage will most likely vary on how much you enjoy Robbie’s music. For me, the few gripes I had were quickly swept aside whenever the tunes kicked in. Much like Williams himself, Better Man isn’t really trying to be anything it’s not. It’s arguably just what you’re looking at this time of the year, when you’re not entirely sure what day it is and all you know is that you’ve eaten too much chocolate and cheese over Christmas.

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 08:21:00 +0000

One cold, stormy night in New York City, a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider… The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfather Ethan’s best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting. As Charlotte’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting's appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbours’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbours themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realise that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh... and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 03:49:00 +0000

From Blumhouse, the genre-defining masterminds behind FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S and M3GAN, comes an original horror that taps into the innocence of imaginary friends – and begs the question: Are they really figments of childhood imagination or is something more terrifying lying just beneath? When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behaviour becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be. Lionsgate and Blumhouse present, a Tower of Babble production.

Stu's favourite films of the year (2023)

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 09:11:00 +0000

2023 was a very special year for many reasons, most of all because it saw the arrival of my beautiful daughter. The other reason, from our site’s perspective, was that it happened to be one hell of a year for movies. I only caught 51 films this year. A solid mixture of cinema visits and streaming watches. Apparently having a child mercilessly eats into your movie watching time. Be that as it may, here are my favourite films of the year:

1. Oppenheimer - Christopher Nolan

2. Past Lives - Celine Song

3. Return to Seoul - Davy Chou

4. Roald Dahl Collection (Netflix) - Wes Anderson

5. Fingernails - Christos Nikou.

6. The Super Mario Bros Movie - Aaron Horvath Michael Jelenic Pierre Leduc

7. Asteroid City - Wes Anderson

8. Barbie - Greta Gerwig

9. Killers of the Flower Moon - Martin Scorsese

10. The Pigeon Tunnel - Errol Morris

Review: Shoulda Been Higher: A Celebration of 30 Years of Triple J’s Hottest 100 by Tom W Clarke

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:10:00 +0000

It is the book that has taken Australia by storm, with the author frequently popping up on national television and radio to be quizzed about his new release and a topic we all love – the Hottest 100.

If the media buzz doesn’t convince you, the book’s cover almost certainly will. Pull quotes by none-other-than Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate), Odette, Alex Dyson and Tyler Jenke speak to “a visual and hilarious detailing of Australian music history”. It is agreed that “Clarke’s knowledge, humour, and passion for the poll is the tribute Aussie music needs.”

Having now read the book myself, I can tell you outright: the hype is entirely justified.

‘Shoulda Been Higher’ is nostalgic, nerdy and deeply funny. It is somehow both chock-a-block with stats and completely fascinating – not a combination I have witnessed previously, of that you can be sure. Tom W Clarke approaches the Hottest 100 with the studiousness of an academic, the joy of a comedian and the anecdotes and diehard opinions of a true Hottest 100 obsessive.

Each chapter in the book is dedicated to its own theme. How has Australia’s music taste evolved over the last 30 years? What is the perfect recipe for a winning cover song? What’s the deal with all the novelty songs? And of course, what is the greatest Hottest 100 of all time? The songs, the artists, the debates, and the controversies – it’s all here.

Clarke pours us a beer and leads us ambling down musical memory lane. We remember songs that we completely forgot existed and laugh at the wonderful weirdness that is the greatest musical democracy in the world. And, if you really want to embrace the experience, follow along with the ‘Shoulda Been Higher’ playlists on Clarke’s Spotify profile ‘Tom W Clarke’. It’s a real treat.

Finally! We have a worthy tribute to everything the Hottest 100 has come to represent. It’s so much more than music, as Clarke says. It’s beaches, barbeques, and bonfires. It’s joy and despair, drama and debate, friendship and community. And, incredibly, ‘Shoulda Been Higher’ captures all of it.

- Louis Dodgson

Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel, DRACULA: VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.

The film stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones, Clash of the Titans) as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian (Dune, the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter’s first mate. The film also features Jon Jon Briones (Ratched, American Horror Story), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool films, Better Call Saul), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things, Bruised) and Javier Botet (It films, Mama). From DreamWorks Pictures and the producers of Zodiac and Black Swan, DRACULA: VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER is directed by Norwegian horror virtuoso André Øvredal (Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark, Trollhunter), from a script by Bragi F. Schut (Escape Room), Stefan Ruzowitzky (The Counterfeiters) and Zak Olkewicz (the upcoming Bullet Train), based on the chapter “The Captain’s Log” of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One - The Biggest Stunt in Cinema History!

ryan@geekofoz.com (Geek Of Oz (Ryan Huff)) — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 21:58:00 +0000

Now we all appreciate that Tom Cruise is a raving loon, but he’s OUR raving loon! He’s one of the few storytellers pushing the action genre forward on such a grand scale. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is one of our most anticipated films for 2023, not only because it looks bat-shit crazy fun, but because McQuarrie and Cruise have managed to up the stakes with every entry of late.

This stunt looks too wild to comprehend.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is exclusive to cinemas July 13, 2023
