Patrick Wilson, Kurt Russell, Lili Simmons and Matthew Fox star in writer-director S Craig Zahler's (Brawl in Cell Block 99) western horror. After murdering peaceful travellers, two outlaws flee into the hills. Stumbling across an occult burial ground, one of the men is killed by a ferocious tribesman, while the other, Pervis (David Arquette), escapes. He makes it to the town of Bright Hope, where he's shot by the suspicious sheriff Franklin Hunt (Russell) and thrown into jail. The doctor is drunk, so his assistant Samantha (Simmons) is called to tend Pervis, watched over by the deputy (Evan Jonigkeit). Next morning, the jailhouse is empty, a stable boy murdered and the only clue to who is responsible is a stone arrow stuck in the jail wall. A local Indian says it belongs not to Indians but to fearsome cannibalistic troglodytes. Hunt pulls together a posse, which includes Samantha's injured husband Arthur (Wilson) and dandified gunslinger Brooder (Fox). Riding into the wilderness to rescue the abductees, they soon discover why the Indian tribes give the troglodytes a wide berth. Please donate to keep this service alive! https://epg-plus.com S.

It's a snowy Victorian Christmas Eve and, while the rest of the town wishes each other a merry Christmas, miserly curmudgeon and tyrannical boss Ebenezer Scrooge (Scott) is in his cold office, turning down his nephew Fred's (Roger Rees) invitation to Christmas dinner and begrudgingly agreeing to give his employee Bob Cratchit (David Warner) a day's paid holiday. After a grumpy trip to the corn exchange, Scrooge returns home to a visit from the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley (Frank Finlay), who warns Scrooge that he faces a tormented afterlife unless he changes his ways.

Taking his research home with him after a catastrophic early experiment led to the cancellation of the project, Will brings up infant chimp Caesar in secret as part of his family - which includes Will's father (John Lithgow), whose dementia is Will's personal motivation for his work. Caesar grows into an adult ape of heightened intelligence, which prompts questions concerning the morality of humankind's treatment of our simian cousins, and leads to conflict. With Andy Serkis portraying Caesar via performance capture technology, the ape suits and prosthetics of the original films are a thing of the past, and this franchise reboot makes the most of today's digital realism, highlighting both the similarities and the differences between the two species.

The Carnage of the title is both another symbiote and the inevitable result of the CGI showdown that they'll surely have with Venom at the film's climax. Carnage is created when Eddie Brock/Venom (Hardy) accidentally transfers his alien-infected blood to serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) - oops. Using his new powers, Kasady/Carnage escapes execution and channels all his energy into tracking down Eddie/Venom for a dust up. Oh, and he also wants to get back with his ex, Frances/Shriek (Naomie Harris), whose scream can kill. Bless. Also starring Michelle Williams as Brock's girlfriend Anne.

It's 2065 and 'The West' has been at war with AI ever since a nuclear bomb blew up LA. Despite this, Joshua (Washington) lives an apparently idyllic life with his pregnant wife Maya (Gemma Chan) in New Asia, where humans and simulants still live peacefully. Joshua and Maya like nothing more of an evening than a cuddle on the sofa to an easy listening groove - just like the old times. But then dystopia finds them, when troops emerge from the sea outside their home. Overhead, beams of light from the Behemothic battleship NSS Nimrod pierce the clouds, searching out its target. That's when Maya discovers to her horror that Joshua is on a mission to unmask Nirmata - the godlike creator of advanced AI. Maya thought Joshua was a simulant sympathiser just like her. How could he lie to her like this? But then she gets blown to smithereens. Five years on, a traumatised Joshua is forced back into service. His mission this time? To assassinate a superweapon so powerful it could even destroy the mighty Nimrod. Unfortunately the superweapon - Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles) - looks just like a young girl. Can Joshua really execute the little cherub? And who the heck is Nirmata anyway?
