Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city.For undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker), every day is a battle against corruption. For Lino (David Belle), every day is a fight to live an honest life. Their paths never should have crossed, but when drug kingpin Tremaine (RZA) kidnaps Lino’s girlfriend, Damien reluctantly accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city.

Annabelle

The Conjuring is arguably one of the most frightening films ever made, and the spin-off prequel hits cinemas this week, but are you ready for another heart-stopping experience?

Annabelle centres on young couple John and Mia (Ward Horton and Annabelle Wallis) who are expecting their first child. The pair suffers a series of terrifying demonic hauntings after John gives Mia a painted, pig-tailed doll named Annabelle. Cue creepy dolls, loud frights and weird happenings.
