TAKE YOUR PICK ON PVOD!

That ends this week’s official chart rundown. But this week’s offerings on PVOD are polar opposites. The first is the Dev Patel written, directed and starring Monkey Man. The film tells of a man who is out for brutal revenge after the murder of his mother as a child. Critics have hailed the film, helping to make the film a critical and box-office success.

The second offering is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The fourth film in the long-running original franchise and the fifth film in total, it features the return of the original members of the team with the new ones featured in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Set three years after the events of Afterlife, the veteran Ghostbusters must join forces with their new recruits to save the world in New York City from a death-chilling god who seeks to build a spectral army. The film received mixed reviews from critics but positive feedback from the audience. (Read our review here.) Both films are available to rent for £15.99 or to buy early for £19.99.
