Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Doctor Sleep (out Nov 7) is a horror flick that's trying to offer more than darkened basements, possessed kids and cheap jolts. Based on the Stephen King sequel to The Shining, it's an intriguing tale involving psychic beings, childhood trauma and a group of nomads who "eat screams and feed off pain". With lengthy dialogue-free sequences, director Mike Flanagan makes great use of music and sound. Grade: B+.
