Cinema guide: Halloween approaches with spooky family film and 10th instalment for Saw franchise

The Lesson tells the story of Liam, an aspiring young writer, who eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author JM Sinclair. But soon, Liam realises that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. This one has been pretty well received by critics and audiences alike so far.

Next an animated flick fun for all the family, and just in time for halloween. The Canterville Ghost follows an American family that moves in to the Canterville Chase, a London mansion that has been haunted by a ghost for three hundred years. It features the vocal talents of too many greats to name but the list includes Fry and Laurie, Imelda Staunton and Toby Jones.

And last - one to truly spook your socks off in time for the thirty first of October. Saw ten sees the return of John Kramer, who travels to Mexico for an experimental medical procedure, only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. The infamous serial killer uses deranged and ingenious traps to turn the tables on the con artists.
