They Will Kill You , a horror-comedy starring Zazie Beetz, Heather Graham, Tom Felton and Patricia Arquette, dropped in theatres last week, and I was lucky enough to see it beforehand—so here are my thoughts. The film follows Asia (Zazie Beetz), an ex-con who becomes a housekeeper in a New York City high-rise hotel, but naturally, nothing is as squeaky clean as it first appears.

Lancaster is a city that refuses to be pigeonholed. It is ancient yet academic, industrial yet artisanal, and while its history is etched into every blackened gritstone block, its energy is undeniably fresh. To spend 24 hours here is to navigate a labyrinth of Georgian terraces and secret alleyways, discovering a place that feels like a well-kept secret the rest of the UK hasn't quite stumbled upon yet. Afternoon: The High Ground The best way to understand Lancaster is to loo

The vampire aesthetic synonymous with Haiden Henderson, sharp lyricism, leather jackets, and an intentional, moody gloom is evolving. While his previous project, the Tension EP, served as a raw, documentary-style autopsy of a fractured relationship, Haiden is now stepping out of the shadows of the past and into the blinding spotlights of the UK’s biggest arenas. Opening for 5 Seconds of Summer isn't just a career milestone for Haiden; it’s a full-circle moment for a self-proc
