I have to admit, I get a kick out of seeing the word “Hammer” on the posters and DVD cases of modern horror releases. A studio associated with classic British horror of the past, Hammer are a mark of quality when it comes to atmospheric, gothic and haunting films, so I was interested in what we would be greeted with when The Quiet Ones was announced.
John Pogue, writer of films such as U.S Marshals and Ghost Ship, and director of Quarantine 2: The Terminal, stands behind the big camera once again for a creepy and tense horror film that follows other recent Hammer output like The Woman in Black and Wake Wood.

Hanna
Stars: Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett | Written by Seth Lochhead and David Farr | Directed by Joe Wright
When Hanna was classified as a 12A I was a little disappointed. Though it didn’t stop me from wanting to see the film, I couldn’t help but wonder if they had compromised to get a wider audience. Whether they did or not, it works brilliantly the way it is. Though a story about a teenage assassin has the potential to be quite dark, Hanna is quite enjoyable.
Saoirse Ronan plays 16 year-old Hanna, who is raised in the forest in Finland, away from civilization, by her father Erik (Bana). She is trained to become the perfect assassin, and sent off alone on the mission she’s always been destined for. As she makes her way across Europe, she is tracked by CIA agent Marissa Wiegler (Blanchett), who is privy...

Saoirse Ronan in Hanna
Photo: Focus Features Hanna is electric. It's exciting. It's a mood piece filled with a pulse and the energy of life. And just upon seeing the trailers for Hanna you can't help but think to yourself, This is from the guy that directed Pride and Prejudice? The answer is yes, it is. And the result is a film that provides immediate proof Joe Wright has more up his sleeve than corsets and long walks on the English countryside.
Teaming once again with Saoirse (pronounced Ser-shah) Ronan, the young lady he directed to an Oscar-nomination in Atonement, the story centers on Hanna (Ronan), a young girl who's lived her whole life to this point in the wilds of Finland with her father (Eric Bana). With no explanation for the situation they're in we're immediately thrust into the story.
Trained as an assassin from an early age, Hanna...

Title: Hanna Directed By: Joe Wright Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett, Eric Bana, Olivia Williams, Tom Hollander, Jessica Barden, Jason Flemyng, Aldo Maland After Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, it was quite clear that director Joe Wright was capable of great things, however, nothing can prepare you for the greatness that is his latest feature film, Hanna. It’s a visual and mental action adventure film packing enough energy and suspense to blow you right out of your seat and the best part about it is none of those effects are achieved using cinematic copouts, cheesy effects or any stale parlor trick. Hanna is powered by all-around genuinely thoughtful filmmaking and one heck of [...]...
