FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

An unexpected pregnancy complicates life for two flatmates this week in Premature, while a medical courier faces a terrifying night in the all-new Resident Evil. The case of a missing boy leads in strange directions in Unidentified Murder, and an artist's story is told in Exhibition On Screen: James McNeill Whistler. Meanwhile there are big screen rereleases for Studio Ghibli romance Whisper Of The Heart, Indiana Jones adventure Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Claude Chabrol classic La Femme Infidele.

In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and there's more to explore in our Eye for books column and podcast.
