Also called Don’t Get Out, this German thriller is part Speed (1994), part Phone Booth (2002), and an actual remake of the Spanish flick Retribution (2015). In it Karl (Wotan Wilke Mohring) is driving his kids to school when a mystery phone in the glove box goes off. When he answers, a man on the other end of the line informs Karl he and his children are sitting on a bomb. The mystery voice then threatens to activate the device unless the panicked dad does exactly as he asks. IMDb gives it 5.8

Imagine a fairytale being told by people from the nation who actually created it rather than the Hollywood machine. That’s the angle for which we’re most excited when it comes to this week’s Pinocchio. An Italian production, this live-action remake follows the puppet to real boy story we all know and love, but surely its homecoming will add something a little different? Rotten Tomatoes gives it 93%

There was once a rumour Christopher Nolan’s Inception (2010) was inspired by an old Duck Tales comic strip. While the theory remains unproven, it is safe to say Nolan’s deep subconscious drama may have played on the minds of the creators of Dreambuilders. In it a young girl discovers she has to power to create and control other people's dreams. To what end does she use this ability? To teach her new stepsister a lesson. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 57%
