They’re supposed to be the good guys... “If you go down to the woods today…” Actually, you know what? Don’t go down to the woods today. Not these woods anyway. You won’t see any teddy bears having picnics, you’ll find screaming and terror and death... Already being billed as one of the year’s scariest movies (by everyone from Bloody Disgusting to Time Out), The Woods sees a group of college students travelling to a remote forest to do some camping and hiking. Of course, it’s not long before they discover they’re not alone. Told using found-footage (which doesn’t bode well for the protagonists at all), this is a genuinely unsettling horror flick. You have been warned! Screened to a rapturous reception at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, this rip-roaring black comedy follows two corrupt New Mexico coppers as they go about stitching up every bad guy unfortunate enough to cross their path. Their dishonest ways reach new levels of extreme when they find out that a rag-tag group of criminals are planning a big-scale heist. Instead of informing their bosses, these fine and upstanding members of the Albuquerque police force intend to let the crime go ahead, then steal the money for themselves. Of course, nothing goes according to plan… Starring The Legend of Tarzan’s Alexander Skarsgård and The Martian’s Michael Peña (both on scintillating form), War on Everyone is an outlandish, extremely funny crime caper.

If you haven’t seen the trailer for Sausage Party yet, grab your smartphone now and check it out. But only if you’re legally allowed to vote, because this animated comedy is about as far removed from wholesome Pixar films as it gets. Featuring the voices of James Franco, 2 SEPT Kristen Wiig, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen, it sees food – hotdogs, carrots, etc – discovering that being eaten, you know, sucks big time. An animated comedy in the same vein as Team America: World Police – in other words, definitely not for kids. Hilarious and a little bit wrong! Watch the trailer odeon.co.uk 11
