Bats (1999)


Genetically mutated bats escape, and it's up to a bat expert and the local sheriff to stop them.

Mediocre and quite forgettable animal shocker, not even that enjoyable for laughs.

Maria Kashleva


Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942)



Mysterious wireless broadcasts, apparently from Nazi Germany are heard over the BBC, and Sherlock Holmes is asked to investigate.

This time around it's less a crime mystery, but rather a more patriotic potboiler.

Archangel (2005) (TV)


A British college professor working in Russia investigates certain mysteries surrounding the life and death of Joseph Stalin.

Fairly suspenseful TV thriller with a far-fetched and unconvincing premise.

Barbara Palvin

The Shadow in the North (2007) (TV)



An elderly lady loses her money on an investment, a conjuror is pursued by thugs, a clairvoyant sees a brutal murder in a forest, a glass coffin then whispers the name of the richest man in Europe.

Lackluster TV adaptation of Philip Pullman's 'steampunk' novel series, likewise this effort was obviously propelled by steam power.
