Action, horror and very dark comedies are among the movies on TV tonight.
Say hello to your mid-week movie menu for stuff on the telly, which is almost entirely made up of action movies and scary movies. Enjoy!
Goldeneye – ITV4 – 9pm
Pierce Brosnan’s first and best outing as 007.
London Has Fallen – FilmFour – 9pm
This Gerard Butler action sequel isn’t as good as the one before it (Olympus Has Fallen) or the one after it (Angel Has Fallen).
The Fog – Sky Sci-Fi – 9pm
After he made Halloween but before he made The Thing, horror maestro John Carpenter delivered this under-appreciated creepy gem.
Midsommar – FilmFour – 10.55pm
Our big pick for tonight is Midsommar, a must-watch for any fans of scary movies. Following a tragic death within her family, a young woman (Florence Pugh) heads to a festival in Scandanavia with her boyfriend (Jack Reynor) and all his friends. Expecting music and art, the festival turns out to be far more menacing than any of them were expecting. Filled with characters and set pieces that will have you debating it for days, if you miss it tonight, Midsommar is also available to watch on Rakuten TV and Apple TV.
Halloween – BBC One – 11.40pm
The recent rebootquel starring Jamie Lee Curtis. This first entry in the new trilogy is the only good one.
Game of Death II – Sky Max – 11.45pm
The Bruce Lee action sequel that is mostly made up of scenes cut from his other movies.
Kill Your Friends – AMC – 12.20am
This dark comedy is sorta based on the true story of a soulless music exec (played by Nicholas Hoult) who will do anything to salvage his career. Not as dark or as funny as it could and should have been.
Kill List – FilmFour – 1.50am
If it wasn’t for the fact that Midsommar is on tonight, and this one is on so late, it would’ve 100% been our big pick of the night. A horrifying thriller about an assassin working his way down a specific list of victims, taking him in a direction he – nor we – could have ever predicted.
