WRONG TURN Don’t go down to the woods today...

Back in 2003, a cast led by Eliza Dushku and Jeremy Sisto got this gory franchise off to a fine start as a group of youngsters duly discovered the horrors lurking in the West Virginia woods. Sadly, the many straight-to-video sequels weren’t nearly as good, but now the original writer, Alan B. McElroy, has returned and six chirpy twentysome­things (including Charlotte Vega, below) are heading off on the Appalachia­n Trail… where The Foundation and a touch of the Scandinavi­an chiller Midsommar await. Most platforms, from Friday

THE OWNERS Young burglars meet golden oldies

Lovely to see former Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy and the great Rita Tushingham back in big-screen action, albeit in a picture that slightly struggles to sustain its initial promise. Three young and very amateur burglars break into a remote country house owned by an elderly doctor and his wife. When the would-be thieves can’t open the safe, they agree to wait for the frail owners to return… Most platforms, tomorrow
