Chaos Walking - Available to rent

Tom Holland plays Todd in this dystopian film set in a world where only the men are left - all of whom can see each other's thoughts, or 'Noise', on a day-to-day basis. So when Todd finds a girl, Viola (Daisy Ridley) in a space shipwreck, he decides that he has to protect her, no matter what. Oh, and like with Love and Monsters, there's also a very loveable dog.

Scouts Guide to the Apocalypse - Amazon Prime Video

Zombieland - Netflix

How could we not give Zombieland a mention? In this delightfully funny zombie film, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone, a loner who has only managed to survive by sticking to himself, teams up with new friends while trying to reach his family across the country.

Teen Wolf - Netflix 

Starring Love and Monsters star Dylan O'Brien in an equally charismatic role as the scene-stealing Stiles Stilinski, we would rate Teen Wolf as one of the most underrated teen shows out there. The story follows Scott, who has to deal with receiving wolfy powers after being bitten, as well as the other mythical beings that begin to arrive in town. Season three is particularly awesome.
