Eternity
Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner star in this afterlife-set love triangle romcom from director David Freyne.
The plot sees the soul of a recently deceased woman named Joan (Olsen) given one week to decide where to spend eternity, as she finds herself "torn between the man she spent her life with, and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive".
It Was Just an Accident
This thriller from legendary Iranian director Jafar Panahi won the prestigious Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
It follows a man after he bumps into the man he firmly believes to be his former torturer, although the latter strenuously denies this having been the case – which leads to some major doubt creeping in.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail and Matthew Lillard return in this sequel to the hit video-game adaptation, which once again sees some terrifying animatronic creatures wreaking havoc.
According to the official synopsis, it sees 11-year-old Abby (Piper Rubio) sneaking out to reconnect with the animatronics, which "sets into motion a terrifying series of events that reveal dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's".
Fackham Hall
Comedian Jimmy Carr co-wrote the script for this period drama spoof which boasts a starry cast including Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston, Tom Felton and Thomasin McKenzie.
Set in the 1930s – and clearly designed to ape the likes of Downton Abbey – the official synopsis teases that it sees a "new porter form an odd bond with the youngest daughter of a well-known UK family" at the same time as that family deals with "the epic disaster of the wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin".
Eleanor the Great
Scarlett Johansson makes her directorial debut with a drama about a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor played by June Squibb.
It follows her when she moves from Florida to New York after the death of her dearest friend, as she attends a support group for Holocaust survivors and "tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own".
Goodbye June
Another directorial debut from an A-lister – this time Kate Winslet steps behind the camera for an all-star Christmas-set drama.
According to the synopsis, it sees a man and his four adult children navigate messy family dynamics when his wife's health takes a turn for the worse during Christmastime.
Silent Night, Deadly Night
Halloween Ends star Rohan Campbell has the lead role in this remake of the classic festive slasher about a killer Santa.
Campbell is Billy, a man who – after a scarring incident in his youth – "dons the red suit and embarks on a blood-soaked massacre to feed his twisted sense of justice" every Christmas.
Ella McCay
Emma Mackey stars as an idealistic politician in this comedy-drama from iconic writer/director James L Brooks – his first film in 15 years.
It follows her as she navigates difficulties in both her personal and professional life, with the starry supporting cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Woody Harrelson, Alfred Brooks, Jack Lowden and Ayo Edebiri.
Avatar: Fire and Ash
The third adventure in James Cameron's mega-successful sci-fi franchise explores another new frontier in the land of Pandora.
The synopsis doesn't give too much away, but teases that, "Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe".
Sentimental Value
Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier follows up his 2021 hit The Worst Person in the World with this moving family drama, which looks set to be a big awards player.
The cast includes Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning, with the film exploring events after a renowned director (Skarsgård) tries to cast his actress daughter (Reinsve) in his next film after years of estrangement.
Marty Supreme
Timothée Chalamet is Oscar-tipped for his role in this '50s set comedy-drama from Josh Safdie, a fictionalised tale loosely based on the life of champion table-tennis player Marty Reisman.
The incredibly eclectic supporting cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow – in her first on-screen role in more than five years – in addition to Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler the Creator), Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher.
The Housemaid
Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried have the lead roles in this adaptation of Freida McFadden's best-selling novel of the same name.
It follows events after young woman (Sweeney) is hired to become the live-in maid for a wealthy couple only to learn that they harbour some sinister secrets – with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
Anaconda
This sequel to the 1997 horror-comedy of the same name – which is billed as a meta reboot – stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd in the lead roles.
The synopsis teases that "a midlife crisis inspires Doug (Black) and Griff (Rudd) to head into the Amazon rainforest to remake their favourite film from their youth" with but everything changing when "a real giant anaconda shows up, turning the comically chaotic set into a deadly situation".
