Premieres
Daniel Isn’t Real – June 1st The next generation of horror truly arrives with this surprisingly entertaining entry into the ‘imaginary friend’ genre, as Miles Robbins – son of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins – and Patrick Schwarzenegger (you can probably guess who his dad is) battle it out to be the owner of a very real human body. Daniel isn’t messing around when it comes to violent demonic possession, so how will Miles banish his evil childhood companion for good? Maleficent: Mistress of Evil – June 5th The Dead Don’t Die – June 7th An all-star cast bursts from the seams in Jim Jarmusch’s unlikely zombie horror-comedy. Worth it just to see Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi and Danny Glover fight hoards of the undead in this weird slice of indie film. Annabelle Comes Home – June 12th Ungrateful staring competition winner Annabelle inevitably gets loose in the Warrens’ big room o’ spooky crap, so their daughter and her mates are gonna have to deal with it before things spiral out of control. A fairly decent Conjuring Universe threequel. The Kitchen – June 13th The Mustang – June 14th Convict Matthias Schoenaerts tests his mettle when he joins a rehabilitation program that teaches him to train wild mustangs. First Love – June 17th Prolific gore hound Takashi Miike (Ichi The Killer) is back with a tale of drug smuggling, prostitution, Yakuza and deadly assassins. It’s a love story, of course! Gemini Man – June 19th on Sky Cinema and Sky Cinema Pass on NOW TV Mr. Jones – June 21st A Welsh journalist uncovers Stalin’s genocidal Ukraine famine in Mr. Jones, which is based on real-life events. Almost 10 million people died, the least you can do is watch a movie about it. Downton Abbey – June 26th The Downton Abbey movie draws back its huge TV cast as royalty decides to pay a visit. Hugely enjoyable for fans, utterly baffling for everyone else and the height of cinema for Happy Hogan. He’s been through a lot, let him have this. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot – June 27th
