Daniela Forever review: Dir. Nacho Vigalondo [Glasgow Film Festival 2025]

Nacho Vigalondo has always been a director more interested in form than content, consistently pushing cinematic boundaries. At his best, he is able to blend his experimental approach with emotionally grounded storytelling, such as in his previous film, Colossal. Even his weaker efforts, (looking at you, Open Windows) burst with undeniable creativity. Daniela Forever continues this trend, delivering a visually inventive yet tonally uneven meditation on grief, memory, and control.

The Surfer review: Dir. Lorcan Finnegan [Glasgow Film Festival 2025]

It’s become almost obsolete to point out that Nicolas Cage has made some discerning choices in film roles lately. Whether delivering over the top, bombastic performances (Mandy, Color Out of Space) or embracing quieter, more introspective roles (Pig, Dream Scenario), Cage seems to be really revelling in this stage in his career, and has cultivated one of the most fascinating late-career renaissances in Hollywood.

Exclusive Interview with The Cell’s Director Tarsem Singh

Tarsem Singh‘s psychological thriller The Cell is a surreal blend of Fantastic Voyage, The Silence Of The Lambs and Inception, the type of film that only this director could make.

Corny But Charming - Willow (Blu-ray Review) - FILMHOUNDS Magazine

The eighties were a golden era of specific, idiosyncratic fantasy films. While they lacked the epic scale and depth of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, they offered unique charm and creativity, and most importantly, personality. Among these, Willow stands out as an oddity: darker than Labyrinth, more coherent than Legend, and less niche than Krull. Though it may not be as iconic as Dragonslayer, Willow deserves far more credit than its reputation suggests.
