A Million Ways to Die in the West

Director: Seth MacFarlane

Review: Glides along fairly lightly with no real major swings in either direction apart from a few dips into some unwelcomed racial territory.

Watch it if: You want something with surprisingly decent chemistry between its leads.

And if you liked: Blazing Saddles, Ted, Family Guy

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

Director: David Blue Garcia
Review: At its best when its not trying to replay recent trends and just revelling in its own fun kill scenes but damaged ultimately by a lack of conviction in those same moments.

Watch it if: You're looking for a more standard slasher formula.

And if you liked: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, Texas Chainsaw

Death on the Nile

Director: Kenneth Branagh

Review: Lush and poetic in its imagery with a strong cast and a surprising amount of emotional heft.

Watch it if: You enjoy an old-fashioned type of mystery story.

And if you liked: Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
