Cinema – Morgan (18)
There are strong echoes of both Silence of the Lambs and Ex Machina about Morgan, a 20th Century Fox film produced by Ridley Scott and directed by his son, Luke. Kate Mara plays a risk-management consultant investigating a young woman whose conception was lab-engineered and, as a result, has violent tendencies that have resulted in her being confined to a concrete room. Mara, aided by the excellent Toby Jones and Paul Giametti, must determine whether the experiment should end now.
In cinemas from September 1
