I like to pick up one of the free fashion mags available from East Mids Rail stations as ‘tithe’ for she who is picking me up, but figured this was going to be some kind of ‘Tory’ dud. However, there’s Cheese, a three pager on Wassailing, Coo’s of course, and page 3 ‘Chicken of the Month’. Not bad…

Lasted 15 minutes of Relic. 15 minutes of low-light, bump in the night, predictable dream sequence, yawn inducing horror tropes. Is it just me that wants their scares from a good story rather than the movie equivalent of a Ghost Train ride…
