DocEdge Film Festival 2025 – ‘Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror’ – Review
When it comes to boundary-pushing, genre-defying, pop culture icons, there’s one name that’s always been in a delicious league of its own: Rocky Horror.

DocEdge Film Festival 2025 – ‘A Quiet Love’ – Review
The 2025 DocEdge Film Festival has served up a remarkable slate of moving, provocative cinema, but few titles have struck such a heartfelt emotional chord as Garry Keane’s A Quiet Love; a documentary that lives up to its name in the most beautiful and profound way.

‘KŌKĀ’ – Review
Aotearoa’s cinematic renaissance continues to blaze ahead, and at the centre of it stands KŌKĀ — a deeply affecting, meditative road movie that weaves together Māori spirituality, feminine strength, and the aching human need for connection.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ – Review
The doll’s back, baby—and she’s deadlier, sassier, and a whole lot more self-aware. M3GAN 2.0, the follow-up to 2023’s breakout horror hit, veers hard into uncharted territory, trading slasher thrills for slick spy games, action-packed chaos, and a razor-sharp sense of satire. The result? A bold, genre-blending sequel that swaps screams for smirks, and strangely […]

If you’re seeking horror that bites, then Dangerous Animals is the blood-soaked, surf-slashed adrenaline ride you’ve been craving.
