Stars: Charlotte Kirk, Jamie Bamber, Jonathan Howard, Hadi Khanjanpour, Tanji Kibong, Leon Ockenden, Troy Alexander | Written and Directed by Neil Marshall

Director Neil Marshall returns with a soldiers-vs-monsters thriller that harks back to his 2002 debut Dog Soldiers. Unfortunately, it’s something of a mixed bag – there are some entertainingly gloopy gore moments and the monsters are suitably monstrous, but the film is ultimately let down by dismal acting, a dull script and flat direction.

Charlotte Kirk plays Flight Lieutenant Kate Sinclair, who gets shot down over a rebel stronghold in Afghanistan. Fleeing her attackers, she takes refuge in an abandoned underground bunker and unwittingly unleashes an army of toothy monsters.

Escaping to the desert, Kate falls in with a band of bickering soldiers – dubbed “the Dirty Half-Dozen” – who include: American senior officer Finch (Jamie Bamber), rugby-loving Welshman Jones (Leon Ockenden), kleptomaniac African-American Lafayette (Tanji Kibong), grumpy Hook (Jonathan Howard), military...

Two decades after making his debut with werewolf war movie “Dog Soldiers,” Neil Marshall offers another spin on military-vs.-monsters action in “The Lair,” a semi-return to form that’s energetic if uninspired and increasingly silly. Nonetheless, it represents a bit of a rebound after the disasters of last year’s “The Reckoning” and an unhappy “Hellboy” reboot he disowned. This first issue from Scarlett Prods., the company he founded with star, co-writer and executive producer Charlotte Kirk, gets released by Rlje Films to limited U.S. theaters as well as VOD and digital Oct. 28. Launch on multi-territory genre streaming platform Shudder is planned for early next year.

Mr Selfridge stars Aisling Loftus and Gregory Fitoussi have spoken to Digital Spy about their characters' exit from the show.

Agnes (Loftus) and Henri (Fitoussi) departed the ITV series in tonight's (February 15) episode, following troubles in their marriage caused by Henri's war trauma.

"At the end of the second series, separately we both decided to leave the show," Fitoussi told DS. "...and we agreed to make a few episodes to have the characters leave."

Fitoussi called the couple's exit "satisfying", while Loftus also described it as "a really natural ending [that] makes sense".

" I think if people are fans of Henri and Agnes, they would feel it's a satisfying ending," she said. "Ultimately, as much as its been difficult, they love each other and that's the end note.

"It's a huge ensemble cast - there's a lot of characters so I think it makes sense, as a viewer, [to say] 'Let's look at...

Mr Selfridge returns to ITV tomorrow night, but the winds of change are blowing through London.

Picking up with Harry (Jeremy Piven) in 1919, the ten new episodes see the charismatic American entrepreneur mourning the loss of his wife Rose.

Joining the show as Harry's daughter Rosalie is EastEnders actress Kara Tointon, while Waterloo Road's Leon Ockenden is also on board as her playboy fiancé Serge.

Meet... Rosalie Selfridge (Kara Tointon)

Kara is of course no stranger to joining an established hit series, and insists any nerves she felt upon joining the Mr Selfridge cast were quickly calmed. "Entering a show that's established can be quite daunting, but the people there have been so welcoming," she says.

"Especially Jeremy Piven - he wants you to do your best... to feel comfortable and to give it your best shot."

Harry's other daughter - the rebellious Violette - will also be joining...

Richard Mylan has confirmed that he will exit Waterloo Road before the show ends.

The actor, who stars as deputy headteacher Simon Lowsley in the BBC One drama, will leave before the series draws to a conclusion next year.

"Simon is definitely facing tough, challenging times ahead - he's blissfully unaware of it though," Mylan told Wales Online.

"I've been keeping Simon's secret quiet for a long time now and it is really hard, but he does leave the show. Fans will be expecting him to be in it until the end, so it's going to be quite a big shock for many people."

Viewers have seen Simon's wife Sue (Vanessa Hehir) kiss Pe teacher Hector Reid (Leon Ockenden), with the love triangle set to cause problems in the upcoming ninth series.

"It's a horrible situation to be in. Somebody that you love is acting differently and their behaviour becomes erratic,...

The Selfridge children are all grown up in the third series of Mr Selfridge, which picks up in 1919 just after the end of World War I.

Kara (represented by Curtis Brown) played Dawn Swann in Eastenders for four years and won Strictly Come Dancing in 2010.

Kara’s real-life sister, Hannah Tointon, plays her rebellious sister, Violette in a move that sees the sisters acting together for the first time. 26 year old Hannah (represented by Independent Talent) played Katy Fox in Hollyoaks and more recently starred in Switch on ITV2 and BBC's The Hour.

While the debate continues to rage about the role celebrities/people-with-connections should have to crowd-funding projects, the bottom line is this paradigm breaking approach is helping to get ambitious projects of all sizes get made. The latest example is "The Cosmonaut," which found support from over 4000 backers to help bring it to the big screen. Today, we have a taste of the sci-fi movie as it begins to roll out. A years in the making effort, kicking off with a short film version in 2008, the movie's progress to the big screen is fascinating (it's detailed right here) and it included losing financing from a Russian backer at one point, only for the crowd-funding community to come back and support "The Cosmonaut" with three times as much money than they were short. But it's all about the final result and writer/director Nicolás Alcalá seems to have made those who got behind him proud.

"Deadwood" creator David Milch has signed on to adapt the noir-style PS3 video game "Heavy Rain" into a feature for Unique Features reports Variety.

Selling well over a million copies since its release, the procedural-themed game has users playing four different characters involved to different extents in the hunt for the Origami Killer, a serial child murderer who drowns his victims several days after he abducts them.

The characters include a divorced father of the most recent abductee who lost his first child in an accident years before and suffers from black outs, a gruff private investigator looking into the killings with the help of a prostitute, a female reporter who becomes close with the father, and a whip-smart FBI agent with a drug habit and hi-tech glasses that produce a virtual computer interface even more elaborate than those seen in "Minority Report".

Former "Doctor Who" star Billie Piper has revealed to The Sun that a film version of her sexy British series "Secret Diary Of A Call Girl" may be in the works.

The 27-year-old is currently working on a fourth and final series for ITV2 and mentioned in an interview this week that "I'm about to start filming the fourth series and then that will be it. I'm not sure it has legs past four seasons so we're trying to develop a movie."

The series, based on the books and blog of real-life escort Belle de Jour, has become a modest hit not just in the UK but in the Us as well via Showtime.
