MS CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST - Great idea for a title, but does this American indie really live up to the two twisted namesakes in its Brundlepod? No, of course it doesn't. But it is mildly diverting and isn't entirely misleading in that it does feature some cannibalism and a woman who shoots people.
SHUTTLE - Watched expecting vaguely entertaining mediocrity. I was right, until it lurched from standard 'trapped in a small space with a bad man' dramatics into cruel 'kidnapped for international shoe fetishist' territory. Genuinely bleak and depressing conclusion - I thought so anyway, mainly because I wasn't expecting it.
