Quick plays a 70-year-old writer who takes a new treatment that could enable her to have a child. She is emotionally transparent and intellectually engaged, unlike the film
Diana Quick makes a return to the big screen – after a six-year break – with a first-rate performance in a second-rate (perhaps third-rate) film. Forever Young is a ploddingly drab British sci-fi drama that really doesn’t have what it takes to keep up with Quick; she stars as a 70-year-old writer taking an unlicensed drug to reverse the ageing process. It’s impossible to take your eyes off her: intellectually engaged and emotionally transparent. It’s a pity then that the script is unserious and uninteresting, with nothing to say either about the existential leap in the dark of eternal youth or the ethics of the anti-ageing industry.
Quick is Robyn, a bestselling author who’s been happily married to Oscar (Bernard Hill) for donkey’s years.

We're back with another edition of Horror Highlights! Today's installment gives you a tease of The Howling Wind, the official trailer for The Droving, and details on the recent acquisition of Don't Tell a Soul:
The Howling Wind: "During a plagued dust and wind storm, a countryman takes in a weary traveler seeking refuge — but discovers the truth in the circumstances of his arrival."
"The Howling Wind, at its core, depicts how good people can become monsters when their survival is at stake. In the midst of a natural threat outside, the real terror comes from within. Our vision in crafting The Howling Wind was to utilize the classic style and timeless setting of the early 1960s in order to tell a universal story that although shot in early January, presciently reflects present day events."
The film was directed by Lorian Gish and Justin Knoepfel, written by Justin Knoepfel and stars Anthony Arkin,...
