We’ve got returning horror franchises (and silly slashers), as well as romantic romps and plenty of literary delights for book to film lovers.

Send Help (5th February)
What could be worse than ending up stranded on a deserted island with your boss? That’s the case for Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams), who must put aside past grievances with the head of her company, Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) in order to work together to survive. With tensions rising, we might just see both these actors as we’ve never seen them before in this horror thriller.
Hamlet (6th February)
Aneil Karia is channelling Baz Luhrmann in this modern reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Yes, that’s right, we’ve got another Hamlet retelling in this year’s film slate. Starring Riz Ahmed as Prince Hamlet with the backdrop of a gritty London. Swapping elite London society for the underbelly of the city, Hamlet moves between Hindu temples and homeless camps as he seeks to avenge the murder of his father.
100 Nights of Hero (6th February)
Romantasy is having a moment and Julia Jackman has listened as she brings to the silver screen an adaptation of the graphic novel The One Hundred Nights of Hero. With a stonker of a cast list, 100 Nights of Hero stars Emma Corrin as the titular Hero, Charli xcx, Felicity Jones, and Richard E. Grant to name a few. And what a jaunt it will be as Cherry (Maika Monroe) is left for 100 days by her husband to test her fidelity, ultimately becoming tangled in a love triangle with her maid (Corrin) and her husband’s friend (Nicholas Galitzine).
The Chronology of Water (6th February)
Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut comes in the form of an adaptation of the memoir The Chronology of Water. A far cry from her humble Twilight beginnings (hoa hoa hoaaaa), Stewart directs Imogen Poots stars as Lidia Yuknavitch, a woman who finds salvation in both the written word and swimming. Stewart co-wrote the screenplay alongside Andy Mingo, with big names like Ridley Scott attached as producer.
Scarlet (6th February)
You thought you’d had your fill with both Hamnet and Hamlet? Well, here comes another Hamlet retelling in the form of Sony’s next big anime release. Scarlett takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s Hamlet as well as Joan of Arc and other influences in this era-jumping, genre-bending tale with a sword-wielding princess at its centre. Scarlet sets out to avenge the death of her father and ends up in a modern day world where the kindness of a stranger could change her whole outlook.
The Strangers – Chapter 3 (6th February)
The conclusion of this horror trilogy arrives in early February with more of the same terrifying goodness. The survivors of previous chapters once again face the threat of masked strangers with killer intentions. Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya, the lone survivor of the Strangers, with newcomers Gabriel Basso, Ema Horvath, and Richard Brake joining the cast.
Wuthering Heights (13th February)
Oh boy, oh boy, Emerald Fennell’s loosely inspired take on Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights has had the internet divided – but we can’t deny we’re dead excited for this delicious take on a classic. Put down your pitchforks, the title is in inverted commas for a reason, and that’s because it never promised to be a faithful adaptation. Chronicling the burning desire between Cathy and Heathcliff, expect spellbinding visuals and ethereal costumes in Fennell’s follow-up to Saltburn.
GOAT (13th February)
Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin heads up the ensemble for Sony’s latest animation, GOAT, in which a goat dreams of becoming a professional roarball player (think basketball but more physical). From the same artistic team that brought you Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and KPop Demon Hunters, goat Will Harris might be small, but his passion is all-encompassing enough to strive to make it with the bigs.
Crime 101 (13th February)
You don’t have to wait until Avengers: Doomsday to see Chris Hemsworth back on your screen. This crime thriller stars the Hemsworth brother alongside fellow Marvel alumni Mark Ruffalo, as well as Barry Keoghan and Halle Berry. Elusive thief (Hemsworth) teams up with an insurance broker to carry out one last heist, with a detective (Ruffalo) hot on their trail.
Looney Toones: The Day the Earth Blew Up (13th February)
Porky Pig and Daffy Duck have the future of the Earth resting on their shoulders. What could go wrong? Accidentally discovering an alien mind-control plot while roaming their local bubble gum factory means they’re quite literally the worlds last hope. Can the clashing pair put their differences aside and work together?
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (20th February)
Sam Rockwell stars in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, his character simply named Man From the Future. Claiming to have travelled to the past, he takes a LA diner hostage and earges its patrons to help him take on a battle against artificial intelligence.
Wasteman (20th February)
Tom Blyth, David Jonsson, Corin Silva, Alex Hassell, and Neil Linpow star in Wasteman. Set in prison, Taylor (Jonsson) hopes to make parole, but this is jeopardised when a new arrival, Dee (Blyth) takes him under his wing.
Cold Storage (20th February)
You’d think Joe Keery would have had quite enough of the slightly supernatural, but he’s back alongside Georgina Campbell and Liam Neeson in this comedy horror in which Naomi (Campbell) and Travis (Keery) work in a storage facility where a parasitic fungus festers until it is unleashed.
EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert (20th February)
During the creation of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, the visionary uncovered never before seen footage during two of Elvis’ tours, Elvis: That’s the Way It Is and Elvis on Tour. Uncovered in a salt mine in Kansas, the trove included 68 boxes worth of film, all without sound. Over the next two years, Luhrmann has his team worked to restore and sync existing audio with the footage. In the process, they discovered a 45-minute audio of Elvis talking about his life, all of this laying the foundations for Baz Luhrmann’s follow-up to the 2022 biopic.
How to Make a Killing (27th February)
Did you miss action man Glen Powell? Don’t worry, he’s back in John Patton Ford’s black comedy thriller, How to Make a Killing, in which an estranged Becket Redfellow proves relentless in his plight to get his hands on the inheritance he is owed.
