BRIMSTONE

Out 29 September

- Matt Glasby

With more hellfire, bloodshed and damnation than a Nick Cave album, Martin Koolhoven’s gothic western is closer in tone to Se7en than The Magnificen­t Seven. At its centre is the epic battle between mute ex-prostitute Dakota Fanning and creepy preacher Guy Pearce. With slaughtere­d lambs, dead babies and prostitute­d children, it’s Old Testament to the core and handsomely, if heavyhande­dly, executed.
