A werewolf begins preying on the virginal teens of a quiet English coastal town during the summer holiday, just as a pretty American tourist shows up and begins a fling with a bored juvenile whose friend was one of the first to go missing. School's out in Rainmouth, leaving the local teens with little to do but toil their days away in the local pie factory by day, and stir up mischief by night. His pot-smoking mother too fried to keep up her popular bed and breakfast, frustrated Jamie tends to the family business while dreaming of a better life away from Rainmouth. Then one night, at a party, Jamie meets Juliana. At first he's positively smitten; not only is Juliana beautiful, but she's also bright and sophisticated. Later, when Jamie's friends start to go missing, Juliana warns him that a lycanthrope is on the prowl, and that it feasts exclusively on virgin flesh. As if the horny adolescents needed any more motivation to get laid, every kid for miles around is soon scrambling to get their name off the menu by getting lucky before the next full moon. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The dysfunctional and multi-cultural Khan family returns to the screen in this follow-up to the 1998 hit comedy East Is East. It's 1976 in Salford, England, and life, as always, is chaotic in the home of traditionally minded Pakistani immigrant George (Om Puri) and his working-class British wife Ella (Linda Bassett). Their 15-year-old son Sajid (Aqib Khan) is a target for racist bullies at school and has been picked up for shoplifting, so George decides to take him to Pakistan to learn something of his heritage. Sajid, however, isn't at all interested in getting a crash course in Pakistani culture, and the visit to George's family is made uncomfortable by the presence of his first wife (Ila Arun), whom he hasn't seen in thirty years. Sajid feels like an outcast in Pakistan, but bonds with his big brother Maneer (Emil Marwa), who had been sent there a year earlier and his trying to balance his desire to find a wife with his obsession with Greek singer Nana Mouskouri. Just when Sajid's cultural confusion seemingly couldn't get worse, Ella and her best friend Annie (Leslee Nicol) arrive for an unexpected visit, prompted by George helping himself to their joint bank account. Directed by Andy De Emmony, West Is West received its North American premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In a universe presumably ruled by a benevolent, all-powerful God, how can events such as the Holocaust possibly come to pass? This is the question posed by a group of inmates in Auschwitz, the Third Reich's most notorious death camp, in this reflective war drama written by Frank Cottrell Boyce (Millions, Code 46), and directed by Andy DeEmmony (Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story). Realizing that their extermination is imminent, the prisoners attempt to make sense of their fate by putting God on trial. How is it that the deity they call the Almighty could abandon His chosen people in their hour of need? As the sound of prisoners being marched to the gas chambers drifts hauntingly through the walls, the trial gets underway. The questions posed during the inquest are profoundly difficult and deeply complex, and as the hour draws near when they, too, will face death at the hands of their captors, the thoughtful prisoners finally reach a verdict. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Phil Daniels and Mark Addy co-starred on this British sitcom as zany siblings Ray and Ken Sunnyside. Upon acquiring a rundown farm, the heavy-drinking Ray was all for burning the place down for its insurance, while the industrious (if slightly empty-headed) Ken hoped to make a go of the place. Providing brief respites from the Sunnyside brothers' antics were cantankerous country squire Mr. Letchworth (Michael Kitchen), wisecracking neighbors Justin (Tony Gardner) and Wendy (Beth Goddard), and local pervert Mr. Mills (Matt Lucas). The six half-hour episodes of Sunnyside Farm were telecast by BBC2 from April 18 to May 23, 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
