Review: Latency (2024)

2024, 90 mins
M (Mature themes, horror themes, violence and coarse language)

Stars Sasha Luss, Alexis Ren
Directed by James Croke

A great premise and striking visual style elevate what is ultimately a frustrating and not fully-realised horror thriller. Latency is one of those films that starts out brilliantly and hooks you in, but then sadly doesn’t really go anywhere with its premise. Still, there’s a lot to like in Australian writer/director James Croke’s debut feature.

Review: ‘One Day In September’ at Athenaeum Theatre 2, Melbourne (2024)

When I heard that Maverick Newman and Kohan van Sambeeck had created a new Australian musical based around Australian Rules Football, I was immediately intrigued. I don’t have any interest in the sport but knowing it centred on a fictional closeted player (and to date there has never been an openly gay player in men’s AFL), it sounded like a bold subject for theatre.
