REVIEW: UFOPHILIA (2026 Video Game) - on PC Steam

UFOPHILIA places you in the boots of a lone investigator obsessed with the UFO phenomenon, travelling to remote locations to document strange encounters and photograph whatever is hiding in the dark. Operating out of a cramped RV filled with cameras, sensors and detection tools, you gather evidence, analyse anomalies and slowly narrow down which alien is present before risking everything to get close enough for proof. Randomised missions and unpredictable behaviour keep each outing tense, with a steady sense that something unseen is always watching.

While the atmosphere and investigative loop create genuine unease and a satisfying learning curve, the experience feels rough in places. Movement and gameplay lack polish, some areas are simply too dark to navigate comfortably, and the aliens themselves are not always as memorable as the concept promises. Even so, there is clear potential here, making UFOPHILIA an intriguing but flawed horror outing.

REVIEW: Dust Bunny (2025 Film) - Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Sophie Sloan, Sheila Atim, David Dastmalchian, and Sigourney Weaver

Dust Bunny follows Resident 5B, a professional hitman whose violent world collides with childhood fear when eight year old Aurora asks him to kill the monster she believes murdered her family. Set largely within a New York apartment building, the film blends assassin thriller mechanics with dreamlike fantasy horror, slowly revealing that Aurora's fears are rooted in something far more real and far more dangerous.

As assassins, law enforcement and personal betrayals close in, the story escalates into surreal violence and emotional confrontation. The film ultimately reframes its monster as both threat and protection, ending on a hopeful note about chosen family, love, and learning to live with the darkness that follows trauma rather than pretending it is not there.

REVIEW: The Wrecking Crew (2026 Film) - Starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista

The Wrecking Crew pairs Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as estranged half brothers forced to reunite when their father, a private investigator, is killed in what appears to be a staged hit and run. Jonny, a loose cannon cop in Oklahoma, and James, a disciplined Navy SEAL in Hawaii, return for the funeral and find themselves drawn into a dangerous conspiracy when Yakuza show up at the family home.

As they investigate, their dysfunctional dynamic resurfaces, with family members and allies trying to keep them from tearing each other apart. The film blends high octane action with comedy and family drama, using Hawaii as a vibrant backdrop while delivering bruising set pieces, sharp chemistry, and a familiar but entertaining buddy cop formula.

REVIEW: EBOLA VILLAGE (2026 Video Game) on Xbox

EBOLA VILLAGE is a first person survival horror that proudly embraces old school design. Set in a remote USSR village, the game drops players into a slow burning nightmare that rewards exploration, observation, and careful inventory management. There is no hand holding, and progress depends on solving well judged puzzles while soaking in an oppressive atmosphere built through sound design and environmental detail.

While the experience is relatively short and may trigger motion sickness for some players, the strengths outweigh the drawbacks. Solid visuals, unsettling audio, and confident gameplay combine to create a surprisingly effective horror experience. EBOLA VILLAGE stands as a strong modern take on classic survival horror.

REVIEW: Greenland 2: Migration (2026 Film) - Starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin

Greenland 2 Migration is a lean, emotionally driven sequel that focuses less on spectacle and more on survival, family and moral resolve. Set five years after the Clarke comet, the film follows the Garrity family across a broken Europe as environmental chaos and human desperation close in from all sides. Ric Roman Waugh delivers tightly constructed set pieces and a clear sense of a fragile new world order, keeping the stakes personal rather than overwhelming.

Strong performances from Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin anchor the film, giving weight to a story that could easily have slipped into formula. While the script occasionally follows familiar disaster movie patterns and some CGI feels rushed, the pacing is sharp and the emotional payoff lands. It is a surprisingly effective sequel that finds hope without sentimentality, earning its place as a solid and engaging follow up.

REVIEW: Space / Time (2026 Film) - Starring Ashlee Lollback and Hugh Parker

Space / Time is a tightly paced sci-fi thriller set in 2033, following Holt and his assistant Liv as they attempt to rebuild a radical device capable of bending space. The film moves quickly, keeping the story engaging throughout its under-90-minute runtime. Once the time travel elements emerge, the plot demands full attention, delivering clever twists and sustained tension. Michael O'Halloran's direction makes the most of a modest Australian budget, producing visual effects that are surprisingly polished. Strong performances from Hugh Parker and Ashlee Lollback anchor the story, while Pacharo Mzembe adds depth to the supporting cast. The film also offers a fresh take on time travel, bringing originality to a genre often feeling familiar.

REVIEW: Primate (2026 Film) - Starring Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, and Troy Kotsur

Primate is a stripped back, high intensity natural horror that wastes no time getting to the violence. Set almost entirely within a cliffside house in Hawaii, it follows a group of friends trapped by a rabid chimpanzee whose intelligence makes him as calculating as he is brutal. The film prioritises tension, gore, and momentum over character depth, delivering a lean B movie experience that thrives on simplicity.

With a runtime under 90 minutes, the film barrels forward without overthinking its thin narrative. Familiar horror clichés are used without apology, but they are executed with confidence and energy. Ben the chimpanzee dominates the screen, providing some memorably savage kills and a relentless sense of threat. It is not subtle, but it is effective, and for horror fans seeking a quick, visceral thrill, Primate delivers exactly that.

REVIEW: Stunt Bike Extreme (2025 Video Game) - on PC (Steam)

Stunt Bike Extreme is an arcade motocross game that closely follows the TRIALS HD formula, focusing on quick levels, simple controls, and constant progression. With over 400 tracks across varied environments, the main appeal is sheer volume, supported by bike unlocks, visual customisation, and hidden treasure chests that reward exploration and replay.

While the gameplay is accessible and highly addictive, it is also noticeably forgiving, with lower difficulty and little demand for precise rider control. The lack of originality and absence of skill-based challenge modes hold it back, but for fans of the genre it remains an enjoyable and content-rich experience that is easy to recommend.

REVIEW: Jingle Strike VR Bowling (2025 Video Game) - on MetaQuest

Jingle Strike VR Bowling blends believable bowling physics with loud, silly festive chaos. Every throw feels weighty and responsive, while the workshop elves react to every success and failure with cheering, roasting, and constant noise. Four themed holiday lanes keep things visually playful, and the fast paced 85 Second Slam Down mode offers a non festive alternative built around speed, music, and arcade energy.

The game is clearly designed for social play rather than long solo sessions. Passing the headset between players, throwing objects at elves, chasing leaderboards, and laughing at missed shots is where it works best. Content is limited, but what is here is polished, cheerful, and easy to enjoy, making it a strong choice for parties, gatherings, and VR newcomers.
