Rose of Nevada (2026)

Mark Jenkin · Sci-Fi, Drama · 1h 54m

United Kingdom · English · Apr 24, 2026

Review pending — no verified score yet

Yes. It is a haunting, singular British film and one of the best of 2026, ideal for viewers who love mood and mystery and do not need time travel explained.

In a derelict Cornish fishing village, the Rose of Nevada — a boat lost at sea thirty years ago with all hands — mysteriously reappears in the harbour. George MacKay and Callum Turner join a new crew hoping to restore the town's luck, but after a successful voyage they return to find themselves thirty years in the past, mistaken for the men who vanished. Mark Jenkin writes, shoots, edits, scores, and sound-designs this analogue folk sci-fi with the same handmade grain as Bait and Enys Men — image and dialect over exposition, patience as craft.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

Nia DaCosta · Horror · 1h 49m

United Kingdom · English · Jan 16, 2026

Review pending — no verified score yet

Yes. It is the franchise's most ambitious and unsettling chapter, ideal for horror fans who want ideas with their dread, though sprint-and-scream viewers may find it slow.

Decades after the rage virus reshaped Britain, faith, violence and survival have fused into something stranger than the infected. Alex Garland and Nia DaCosta trade sprinting zombies for ritual dread as Dr Kelson forms a startling new bond and young Spike falls into Sir Jimmy Crystal's clutches.
