With Antonia Quirke

This month sees the release of five horror movies directed by women. The first one out of the blocks is Saint Maud, written and directed by Rose Glass. She tells Antonia why she thinks so many women are turning to horror for their debut movies.

Out next week is Carmilla, directed by Emily Harris. One of the stars of the films is the sound effects by foley artist Catherine Thomas. She explains how she made the sound of ants scuttling on a branch with the help of some grape stalks and a ripe banana.

Cinema owner Kevin Markwick reflects on the future as the next Bond movie has been postponed and the Cineworld chain has closed its doors.
