Mind-Set is a poignant and funny indie directed by Mikey Murray, and starring Eilis Cahill and Steve Oram. To mark the film’s release we had the pleasure in speaking to the latter, as Oram talks to us about his process in tackling a role that comes with such a great deal of authenticity, a character who is, for use of a better word, normal.
Oram also talks about shooting in Murray’s house, he shows us a tin of baked beans (makes sense in the moment) and speaks about working his co-star Cahill. He also talks about capturing the tricky tonality of a film that is equal parts funny and strangely moving at the same time.
Watch the full interview with Steve Oram here:

When one becomes reasonably well known as a film critic, one finds oneself deluged daily with more films than there are waking hours. It’s impossible to watch them all and, sadly, it’s all too easy for good ones to sneak by under the radar. I might never have seen Mikey Murray’s Mind-Set except that last year I interviewed Steve Oram about another film, Cerebrum, and he mentioned that he had recently enjoyed working on an independent drama with a brilliant young director who he thought had a lot of potential. After our conversation he sent the film my way, and I instantly fell in love with it.
Astute, mature films which are also funny and yet retain the power to break one’s heart like this are few and far between. I talked it...

Mikey Murray’s crowdfunded debut has a bit of Ben Wheatley about it, with Steve Oram as a struggling screenwriter and Eilis Cahill as his lonely wife
Film-maker and lecturer Mikey Murray has made a funny, stroppy, gloomy, punky movie for his crowdfunded lo-fi indie debut: a film in granular black-and-white with a little bit of Ben Wheatley in the mix, creatively using whatever locations come to hand and transforming almost hyperlocal personal material in the script. It’s a downbeat film, flawed and rough-around-the-edges, but weirdly likable in its morose stoicism and unexpected romanticism.
Steve Oram and Eilis Cahill play Paul and Lucy; Paul is a screenwriter, never leaving the house, brooding over a connoisseur-collection of vinyl and working on his sci-fi film script about a space cadet struggling with his sexuality – “Brokeback Mountain meets Silent Running” as he insouciantly puts it. And while working from home, Paul exchanges...

The term “alien” takes on multiple meanings in writer-director Moin Hussain’s intriguing and rather gloomy debut feature, Sky Peals, which follows a lonely rest-stop cook whose life is upended by the death of his estranged father. Although extraterrestrials are evoked at some point, this intimate indie is less of a sci-fi thriller than a minimalist character study, focusing on a multiracial protagonist who doesn’t seem to be at home anywhere.
Screening in Venice’s International Critics’ Week sidebar, the film marks a promising first feature for Hussain, who shows a steady command of tone in a story that’s basically set in one colorless, extremely alienating place. But it can also be too much of a one-note affair at times, lacking the dramatic energy to take it to wider audiences.

Will, an insecure young man, struggles to adapt to his new life after waking up from a coma. Upon returning home, he must fight his estranged father, Richard, in order to be able to see his seemingly absent mother, and uncover the true consequences of his past actions. Richard, however, is in denial, stuck in the past, and desperate to hold on to what once was – with deadly consequences.
Cerebrum is what many would call a slow burn of a horror film. At first, beyond Will’s visions of his dead mother, there’s nothing really horrific about writer-director Sebastien Blanc’s film. It starts off exploring the relationship between father and son, how the accident affected that relationship, and how the pair’s relationship has changed after not only the change in Will struggling...

Race, adoption, guilt and resentment are threaded through this Jordan Peele-influenced tale of a son returning home after a mysterious accident to discover his mother is absent
The influence of Jordan Peele’s mighty Get Out lingers behind this enigmatic British sci-fi horror, with its stricken black hero, while white folk get up to insane things in basements; thanks to the often frontal framing, there is something in the visual style too. The difference is that race is an unspoken subtext here, completely submerged somewhere inside the atmosphere of dissociated trauma.
Tobi King Bakare plays William, adopted child of Richard (Sightseers’ Steve Oram), who emerges wheelchair-bound and mute from a coma after an unspecified accident. He returns home to complete his physical and mental recovery, afflicted by white-hot flashbacks to speeding roads. His dad seems doting and solicitous, but is disturbingly evasive about his mother Amelia (Ramona Von Pusch); she is also convalescing,...

On May 5, 2023, Sony Pictures released “Love Again” starring Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the romantic comedy. A young woman (Chopra Jonas) tries to ease the pain of her fiancé’s death by sending romantic texts to his old cell phone number, and forms a connection with the man the number has been reassigned to (Heughan).

Early in writer-director Jim Strouse’s Love Again, music journalist Rob Burns (Sam Heughan) receives his latest assignment: a profile on Celine Dion as she embarks on a new tour. When Rob, a defiantly unsentimental Scottish bloke, scoffs at the gig, his editor (Steve Oram) fires back by declaring that Dion is in the midst of a “Celine-aissance.” The legitimacy of that statement is debatable, but Dion is at least experiencing something of a cinematic boomlet, between the gonzo fictionalized biopic Aline and references in films as diverse as Turning Red and Queens of the Qing Dynasty.
In any case, Dion is the selling point of Love Again, with the Canadian pop superstar executive producing, performing new songs for the soundtrack, and co-starring as herself. The central narrative of this syrupy-sweet romantic-comedy, however, follows the romantic entanglements of Rob and grieving children’s book illustrator Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra Jonas).

We still know very little about comas – why they happen and what goes on during them. What we do know points to the idea that they allow time for the brain to heal following traumatic damage which usually has a clear physical cause but can sometimes be wholly or partially psychiatric. When Will (Tobi King Bakare) wakes up in hospital, he’s dealing with elements of both. He has very little memory of the car crash which put him there. He’s been out for so long that his muscles have weakened and he finds it difficult to stay on his feet. He’s also unable to speak.
At a time like this, it might seem like quite an advantage to have a neurosurgeon for a father. This is Richard (Steve Oram), who takes him home with the help of a wheelchair, shows him into a room which he has set up downstairs.

Centring on the troubled relationship between a father and son, Sebastien Blanc’s feature début Cerebrum, which is screening as part of Frightfest 2022, deals with themes around loss, guilt and the lengths that people will go to to try and hang on to those they love. Tobi King Bakare plays William, a young man struggling to regain both his physical abilities and his memory after waking from a coma, whilst Richard, the father who is looking after him and struggling to find the right moment to break the news of his mother’s death, is played by Steve Oram, one of the UK’s most distinctive actors and a man frequently seen in genre film. Ahead of the festival, Steve and I connected for a chat and began by talking about his approach to choosing roles.
“I've done leading roles,” he says, “but a lot of it comes down to.

The Sleep of Death
The Sleep of Death was released in 1980 and was written and directed by Calvin Floyd. It’s often described as a Swedish-Irish film, thanks to the prevalence of Swedish cast members. The film is based on the 1872 novella The Room in the Dragon Volant and is sometimes called The Inn of the Flying Dragon, in reference to the title of the novella. The story follows a young Englishman called Colonel Gaillard, played by Per Oscarsson, who goes to France to pursue a woman,...

In an elegantly filmed sequence about halfway through Mikey Murray’s accomplished début feature, Lucy (Eilis Cahill) stands at a tall office window watching cars circle a roundabout backwards and disappear. She’s a small, dark figure going nowhere in a world of neat suburban houses and ordered lives. How did she come to be so lonely, to feel so out of place? Murray offers viewers a superficially conventional storyline with a straightforward explanation and solution, but there is a great deal more going on beneath the surface; his characters are not that simple.
Lucy is married to Paul (Steve Oram). We see them together in the opening scene, when they’re lying in bed together putting one another off sex with mundane and vaguely irritable conversation. She doesn’t find him very attractive and he knows it, doesn’t blame her for it. His sadness comes from elsewhere. Later,...

A mother’s love can move mountains. It must in the case of Paul Dood (Tom Meeten) since he doesn’t really have anything else propelling him forward. Did he aspire to be a superstar? No. He merely asked his mom (June Watson’s Julie) if she thought he had what it took while watching an episode of Britain’s Got Talent. She of course said yes. She said he was “better than anyone else on that show.” Love is blind, though, and unwittingly creates lies—Paul is hardly a Susan Boyle with talent to spare if someone would simply give him a chance. He’s not even a William Hung earning views for second-hand embarrassment. He’s lucky to get three viewers per stream: Mum, Clemmie (Katherine Parkinson), and Bruce (Jarred Christmas).

With his father dead and mother trapped abroad, Lee is given one instruction: go back to school. But safety and security at St. Mark’s School for Boys is in short supply.

There’s a pointed takedown of very-online living fighting to emerge from the many zany, bloody distractions of “Paul Dood’s Deadly Lunch Break,” though even if it succeeded, it probably wouldn’t be all that fresh. Wringing bleak comedy from the psychological collapse of a naive middle-aged man chasing talent-show glory, this uneven sophomore feature from director Nick Gillespie most resembles a grindhouse marriage of “Joker” and “Ingrid Goes West,” with its makeup left to run in a gray British drizzle. The celebrity-forging cycle of reality TV and the false validation of social media likes aren’t exactly hard targets, so Gillespie’s film can’t help but hit them squarely here and there. Yet it’s hard to escape the queasy sense that such points are also being scored at the expense of a vulnerable protagonist’s mental frailty, at which stage the laughs rather dry up.

Justine (Tallulah Haddon) meets Rachel (Sophie Reid) in a bookshop and the two start chatting. After another chance enounter they begin dating and quickly develop a pretty serious relationship. The problem is that Rachel, about to move to Barcelona to be an English teacher, has her life much more together than Justine, who is on probation and still in the grip of alcoholism.
There are a lot of issues going on in Justine, but rather than alcoholism, or putting one’s life back together on probation, or the struggles of a relationship across economic lines, director Jamie Patterson and writer Jeff Murphy are interested in the human story between their two main characters. We don’t get a huge amount of background on Rachel, and what we learn about Justine is largely teased out in her reticence about her past, at least until one late scene lays some family tensions a bit more bare,...

Eight. That’s how many types of bread you can choose between in the world’s biggest sandwich franchise. And that is the reason none of us will ever be truly happy. Eight different varieties of bread, from Hearty Italian to Herb and Cheese to 9-Grain Multi-Seeded to another five, just in case those first three aren’t the most absolutely perfect breads for us.
Because we deserve the best, don’t we? If there’s another bread out there that could slightly increase our happiness, then it should be ours. It’s not enough to be satisfied that we have any bread at all, that lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise doesn’t slide out between our fingers each lunchtime; perfection is the aim, and therein lies our curse.
The first three episodes of Soulmates, a six-part relationship anthology drama with a sci-fi premise, are about the corrosive effects of the modern drive for perfected happiness.

After a long and successful run on the festival circuit, Peter Strickland’s In Fabric is finally headed to theaters this Friday, and onto VOD and Digital platforms December 10th, courtesy of A24. The story of In Fabric is centered around a haunted dress and how its influence condemns everyone that it comes in contact with. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Gwendoline Christie, Hayley Squires, Julian Barratt, Steve Oram, and Jaygann Ayeh.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Strickland about In Fabric, and he discussed why it was important to use a straightforward approach to the material, the design of the malevolent dress at the center of his story, and the parallels between In Fabric and 2012’s Berberian Sound Studio.

Of all the things to throw someone’s life into abject chaos and uncertainty, a piece of clothing is pretty far down on that list. So in director Peter Strickland’s latest film, it’s no surprise that it’s almost too late when one central character realizes that the growing source of misery in her life is an impulse purchase.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars as a recent divorcee, looking to make a statement for an upcoming date. When she buys a striking red dress, the mysterious department store attendant gives the audience some not-so-subtle clues that this may be a choice she comes to regret. “In Fabric” is more than just a “killer dress” movie, but the trailer below gives a pretty good indication of what to expect from Strickland’s most recent film, including the mix of throwback atmospheric horror and raw sensuality that marked the filmmaker’s last...
