Based on Thomas Pletzinger’s 2008 novel, here’s a gritty, globe-trotting and often raunchy thriller to get stuck into.

Master (Mariama Diallo, 2022) Amazon Prime Video
Midway between Get Out and Netflix series The Chair, Mariama Diallo’s ambitious film uses a ghost story template to interrogate the racial realities of academia for female African American students and teachers alike. Regina Hall plays Gail, the first black house-master at a New England college, while Zoe Renee is Jasmine, a new pupil placed in a room possibly haunted by a girl who killed herself. A slowly escalating creepiness envelops both their lives – but is the peril they feel the result of childish pranks, supernatural forces or engrained institutional bigotry? Simon Wardell
