Stars: Mollie Hindle, Morgan Rees-Davies, Tom Hendryck, Ciaron Davies, Stacey Gough, Melvyn Rawlinson, Steve Dolton | Written and Directed by Steve Lawson
After a disastrous attempt to rob the carriage of the Earl of Pembroke, famed highwayman Dick Turpin finds himself on the run in the English countryside with the only thing of value he was able to steal – the Earl’s feisty daughter, Elizabeth.
Steve Lawson mines familiar territory once again with The Highwayman: The Legend of Dick Turpin… Yes, after bringing us films about Van Helsing, Jack the Ripper, Jekyll & Hyde and most recently the Musketeers, Lawson picks up the tale of the legendary roguish highwayman. A character who, once upon a time, was a focus of a myriad of films and TV shows yet nowadays seems to have been left on by the wayside (pun intended).

Independent Midlands filmmaker Steve Lawson, who has been exploring rather familiar horror characters in the likes of Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing, Ripper Untold and Jekyll & Hyde, is back behind the camera exploring another familiar tale. This time around he’s reaching into the literature of old to explore not another well-worn horror story but a rather more swash-buckling affair with The Fourth Musketeer.
Told entirely in flashback, yes for some odd reason writer and director Steve Lawson decided to frame his entire film in a flashback, The Fourth Musketeer sees an older, wiser D’Artagnan (Jonathan Hansler) recall the story of how he joined the Musketeers to a young man, Phillipe (Nathan McGowran), who himself wants to become a Musketeer – by defeating D’Artagnan in battle.

An unsavoury oedipal pact provides the only original note in a sequel that otherwise goes through the motions
By this point there is surely no way back for the clowning profession: every minor horror movie knows it can serve up a demonic pierrot as a bogeyman. With this sequel to 2019’s The Jack in the Box, Lawrence Fowler’s would-be franchise doubles down on the eponymous creepy toy by having its hellspawn harlequin manifest once the crank is turned. It’s rather beholden to The Conjuring (and uses the same title font) and, while writer-director Fowler obviously knows his horror, he doesn’t really show enough imagination here to blaze a bloody trail of his own.
The knick-knack of the title is delivered to the country mansion of Olga Marsdale (Nicola Wright), a rich collector of vintage toys who is bedridden with bone cancer. Aware of its cursed past, she...
