The Little Stranger review: A spooky drama that has more interesting things to say about poverty than poltergeists September 21, 2018 The opening shot of The Little Stranger is an absolute nail-biter: Dr Faraday, played by a stiff-lipped Domhnall Gleeson, is shaving in thrilling close up.

September 20, 2018 It’s 21 years since gamers fell for the cutesy animation and irreverent humour of bizarro business sim Theme Hospital.
