YOU'D BETTER BE GOOD.
On to the comps - and wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'Silent Night, Deadly Night'. A reimagining of the 1984 cult classic, 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' follows a traumatised boy who witnesses his parents’ murder by a Santa-clad killer - only to grow into a vengeful figure himself. As he returns in the red suit, a small town becomes his new hunting ground in a holiday nightmare blending psychological horror, brutal slasher thrills, a hint of the supernatural, and even a dark twist of romance.

THE PERFECT HARMONY.
Also closing today is our giveaway for 'My Brother's Band'. Thibaut is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy, who lives in more modest circumstances: he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother, and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance but, sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts.

KEEP THE SECRET.
Kicking off today is our giveaway for 'The Housemaid'. Starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfriend and Brandon Skenlar, directed by Paul Feig ('A Simple Favour') and based on the global best-selling novel by Freida McFadden, 'The Housemaid' plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous - a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters' closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.

A FURIOUS EPIC.
Get ready to roar as we celebrate 20 years since Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' climbed onto our screens. While it's far from perfect, what we have is still a very special film - the kind that pushes cinema to its limits and embraces everything that it has the capacity to be. Daniel argues that we may not be able to reassess it as a masterpiece, but it certainly deserves to be celebrated as a grand, magnificent film that almost was one.
