THE SECOND LIFE OF FREDDIE NOLE: DO WE REALLY BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES?

Posted on October 24, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Let’s have a conversation. What comes into your mind when someone tells you they spent 50 years in prison? Your brain might automatically think dangerous person or ex-felon. And if you found yourself in the same room as someone with that history, would you look at your surroundings a little more cautiously or find yourself clutching your handbag…

Six Wives of which four died during the marriage is either an extraordinary coincidence to very sinister indeed. This Netflix true crime documentary examines the case of Thomas Randolph, dubbed the “Black Widower” and his crimes against the wives who loved him. His easy going manner and disarming smile embodies what experts have call the…

Posted on September 9, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Overtheshoulder was lucky to be invited to the London Gala Screening of FALL 2: DEADPOINT the sequel to the jaw dropping action original, and a lot of fun it was too with lots of pre-movie entertainment. But, what about the film itself? This survival thriller is a direct sequel to FALL, and begins with Jax…

HIT POINT REVIEW: A CHEEKY CRIME COMEDY WITH PLENTY OF CHARM

Posted on August 4, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

I was lucky enough to catch the first two episodes of Hit Point a couple of weeks ago at a special screening hosted by DDA at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, and I’ve been looking forward to sharing my thoughts ever since. The series follows two thirty-something detectives, Leo (Nick Blood) and Bella (Saffron Hocking) , whose latest investigation…

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY REVIEW – TOM HOLLAND’S FINEST HOUR AS SPIDER-MAN

Posted on August 2, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Just a quick warning before we begin – this review contains spoilers throughout. After watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day, I can honestly say this is the strongest entry in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man saga so far. The film delivers everything I want from a Spider-Man story the emotion, the humour, the action, and most importantly, it remembers…

A MISSING SON, A PRISON BREAK, AND A MYSTERY UNFOLDING — ‘I WILL FIND YOU’ REVIEW

Posted on June 19, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Not every Harlan Coben adaptation hooks me from the very first episode, but I always give them a chance because I know there is usually a twist around the corner that changes everything. I Will Find You takes its time getting there, but if you stick with it, you’re rewarded with an intriguing mystery, strong performances and…

DARIN TOONDER TALKS “OBSESSION”, IMPROVISATION AND WORKING WITH VIOLA DAVIS

Posted on June 9, 2026June 9, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

In this conversation, actor Darin Toonder reflects on his role in Obsession, a low-budget horror-thriller directed by Curry Barker that has been gaining attention for its unusual blend of improvisational performance and suspense-driven storytelling. Toonder plays Harry, a laid-back, slightly eccentric character who works in a shop filled with crystals, incense, and spiritual trinkets an unexpected departure from the more…

A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER SEASON 2 REVIEW: DARKER, SMARTER AND MORE ADDICTIVE THAN EVER.

Posted on May 30, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Few shows manage to improve on a strong first season, but A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder somehow does exactly that. Season 2 is darker, smarter and far more emotionally gripping than what came before. What began as a compelling teen mystery has evolved into something much more intense, delivering a story that feels mature, unsettling and…

THE WASP REVIEW – A SLOW BURN THAT COMPLETELY PAYS OFF (MOSTLY)

Posted on May 9, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

★★★☆☆ There’s something really uncomfortable about The Wasp at Southwark Playhouse Borough and I mean that as a compliment. Written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, this twisting psychological thriller keeps you guessing for most of its 1 hour 40 minute runtime. It starts off fairly simple: two women who haven’t seen each other since school meet for tea and awkward…
