Book Review – Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood
Rachel Bellwoar reviews Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood… Seconds isn’t the first film to create suspense around the appearance of a person whose face is covered in bandages.

Apple TV+ Review – Invasion
Martin Carr reviews Invasion on Apple TV+… The word Invasion feels implicitly threatening. It suggests solid characters in crisis, an impending threat of global significance and most importantly conflict.
