Screentime: His House is a genuinely spine-chilling horror flick; and Borat is back
Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat
Fourteen years on from his big screen debut, the inimitable Kazakh journalist Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) returns in the aptly titled (16s). Previously sentenced to hard labour for single-handedly causing his country’s economic collapse, Borat is offered a reprieve: travel to America and offer US Vice-President Mike Pence a gift — Johnny the Monkey, the Kazakh Minister for Culture — designed to restore harmonious relations between the US and Kazakhstan. Alas for Borat, his teenage daughter Turat (Maria Bakalova) eats Johnny the Monkey, leaving Borat with no choice but to offer Turat instead.
