Film Probe Daily Picks #10 Promising Young Woman (2020), directed by Emerald Fennell is an extremely thought provoking account of the female experience and the concept of revenge. This film blew me away the first time I watched it and every time since then, this is a deeply intelligent commentary on female rage, misogyny, abuse, revenge and gender roles. Cassandra is a young woman who is traumatised by a tragic event in her past. She seeks out vengeance against those who wro

Film Probe Daily Picks #6 If you call yourself a cinema lover, then you must be familiar with Charlie Chaplin. One of the industries most influential and important icons, his work today might seem a little old to the general consumer but The Gold Rush (1925) is a monumental must see for any Chaplin fan or anyone interested in comedy. 'While on a gold-hunting mission to Alaska, a rogue is hit by a storm and seeks refuge in a hut, where he meets a fugitive and a gold-seeker. Ho

Film Probe Daily Picks #5 The one that started it all, The Lost Boys (1987) is the holy grail of vampire movies. For those who love the occult, this film is one of the first of its kind. It changed the vampire genre forever, sexy teen vampires in leather jackets and rocking one earring. Without The Lost Boys, we wouldn’t have Twilight. With an electric cast of young talent, The Lost Boys is a coming-of-age vampire horror that toys with themes of adolescence, rebellion and the

Film Probe Daily Picks #4 I am a very big Andrea Arnold, I first fell in love with her work when I watch ‘Fish Tank’ (which may be a recommendation for another day). She is known for her raw, gritty and often poetic portrayal of working-class life, particularly focusing on the experiences of women and young people in marginalised communities. Bird (2024) does just this and places the audience inside the shoes of Bailey, a 12 year old who lives with her single father Bug and h

Film Probe Daily Picks #3 Sorry to Bother you (2018) is one of those films that will leave you utterly shell shocked. Directed by Boots Riley this is a satirical, surreal dark comedy that revolves around themes of capitalism, class, race, corporate power and exploitation. It is stunningly unique, beautifully performed and intelligently critical and divisive. I also studied this film in university and it blew my mind, I was flabbergasted by the ending and have since watched it

Throughout my daily film picks you will see plenty of Alfred Hitchcock but to start I wanted to highlight Strangers on a Train (1951).

Weapons (2025) is a thrilling, unpredictable, eerie horror film which will leave you begging for more. Zach Cregger further proves his passion for horror and his skill for thrill.

Materialists (2025) | Film Review by Film Probe Pedro or Chris? Which one will she pick? All joking aside, ‘Materialists’ is a film which has truly touched me. I felt utterly seen by this film, as a cynical girl myself I felt as though Celine was talking directly to my heart. A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex. ‘Materialists’ is a story of self discovery disguised as a love story, love is merely a pl
