It Follows: Saturday, The Horror Channel @ 9pm
Jay finds herself being followed by something odd after she spends the night with her boyfriend. To say anymore would ruin an unsettling and original horror film that takes a ridiculous premise and turns it into a suspense packed story that s darkly funny and flat out terrifying in places. Director David Robert Mitchell is obviously a John Carpenter fan too but that s no bad thing. Maika Monroe as Jay is a mighty lead.
ENTERTAINMENT venues that have closed to the public tend to be gone for good. So the plan to reopen Bournemouth’s Palace Court Theatre – also known as the Playhouse – constitutes a dramatic comeback. It is 35 years since a lack of public support seemed to have brought down the curtain on the building s days as a theatre and cinema. It became a place of worship, over the objections of Bournemouth council and many supporters. Now Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) has acquired the venue – a neighbour of Bournemouth’s Premier Inn on Hinton Road and Westover Road. It plans to restore the 1930s art deco building as a teaching space with performance venue, complete with 400-seat auditorium that will welcome the public as well as students.

When he first came to London in 1950, the Australian actor Trader Faulkner, who has died aged 93, was instructed by John Gielgud in rehearsals to “take that dreadful compost out of your mouth, Trader”. He did, sort of, and soon afterwards succeeded Richard Burton in Gielgud’s production of Christopher Fry’s The Lady’s Not for Burning on Broadway, appearing alongside Pamela Brown and Esmé Percy “in the glittering style of artificial comedy.”
That last phrase of the New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson could be as easily applied to Faulkner’s own life in show business. This was an eccentric tapestry of leading and not-so-leading roles, of name-dropping connections, close-up entanglements with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, flamenco dancing, Dorothy Tutin, for whom he reserved an unrequited adoration – they were houseboat neighbours for a time on the Thames at Chelsea Reach – and Maxine Audley.
Ratings info(May contain spoilers)
A wife and mother is subjected to a pattern of control and being demeaned by her husband, which takes a toll on her mental health and she seeks refuge in alcohol. In one scene, the husband slaps his wife. The parents arguments are witnessed by their young children who are upset by what is happening.
A woman dies after being struck by a car and there is speculation that it was a deliberate act on her part.
There are undetailed references to the death of a young child. There is mild bad language ( arseing about , damn , hell ). There are infrequent very mild sex references. There frequent cigarette smoking which reflects the historical period in which the film was made.
