Gone One review — a tender twist on the woman-goes-hiking film

This tender and rewarding debut from India Donaldson, the daughter of Roger Donaldson, the director of No Way Out and Cocktail, is instantly one of the great 'women go hiking' movies. You know the drill — woman treks into the wilderness in order to grapple with a personal crisis that will be sublimated into a conflict with the environment and resolved by the closing credits. Think Reese Witherspoon in Wild, Mia Wasikowska in Tracks and Sheila Hancock in Edie.

This film, however, is all dramatic subtlety and delicate character arcs, eschewing formula at every turn. The main draw is a star-making turn from the 20-year-old newcomer Lily Collias, who plays

'Horrendous': Skinned Labubu terrifies fans of the hottest quirky item of 2025

The world has been gripped by Labubu fever - but seeing what's under the hood of these terrifyingly cute critters has put many off them altogether. Labubus - plush, furry little dolls made by Chinese toy company Pop Mart - have become all the rage, with the likes of Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Bethenny Frankel and many influencers rocking them proudly. The $30 toy, which has big teeth, elf-like ears, and a fuzzy outfit, has even encouraged people to pay up to triple the retail cost to grab some of the most popular versions. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO But one X user has painted them in an entirely different light after sharing an image of one without its fluffy outfit on. The plastic toy's bald, oval-shaped head, clawed feet, weird waist bow, and pasty body made the doll transform from mischievously cute to downright 'terrifying'. Someone compared it to a hairless cat, writing: 'Same mood.' One observer pleaded: 'Put it back in its suit - please! This is terrifying.' And another claimed: 'Now why would you undress the Labubu? It's looking like when a man shaves off his beard and has no chin.'

Emmerdale legend SACKED as rival blackmails boss into driving him out of the village

AN Emmerdale legend is brutally sacked next week - after a scheming rival blackmails their boss into forcing them out of the village. The shock twist leaves residents reeling as the long-time character is shown the door in a savage power move that could change everything. 5 5 Dodgy John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) has finally shown his true colours in Emmerdale - by plotting to get rid of his own brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) just days after his shock return. Robert rocked up in the village after being released from prison, determined to reconnect with his family - but not everyone gave him a warm welcome. And it didn't take long for tensions to explode, with John secretly threatening his brother before his release… and now dragging Caleb (William Ash) into a sneaky revenge plan. But things quickly turned sour as Robert tried to warn sister Vic (Isabel Hodgins) to steer clear of John - only for her to brush it off, accusing him of being jealous. Despite the drama, Robert tried to keep his head down and even landed a trial shift at Caleb's depot - much to the fury of John and Aaron (Danny Miller), who clearly didn't want him back. In tonight's (Monday) episode, Robert rocked up late for his first day but managed to impress Caleb by name-dropping a few handy business contacts - proving he still knows how to hustle in the Dales. During his lunch break, Robert was none the wiser as Caleb opened the door to a furious John, who stormed in still raging about his brother's return. Fuming that Robert had been given a shot at the depot, John told Caleb he refused to work alongside him - but when pushed for a proper reason, he had nothing to offer. Instead, John played dirty - and pulled out the big guns. Reminding Caleb that he helped cover up the murder of Anthony Fox earlier this year, John coldly said he owed him… and it was time to cash in. Emmerdale fans left fuming as they point out huge Robert Sugden blunder To Caleb, it was a dirty move - but to viewers, it was classic John. With no other option, Caleb backed down and spun a lie that brought Robert's trial to an abrupt end. But Robert wasn't fooled. After a sly remark from Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), he clocked that Caleb had been forced to dump him - and he knew exactly who was behind it.

Here is a list of the most devastating deaths that have taken place in soapland over the years.
