I’m Oscar Huckle and I’ve been an avid cinephile since before my teenage years.

You’ll regularly find me at the cinema catching anything from the latest blockbuster to hunting out smaller-budget arthouse fare. Some of my favourite films include Inception, Up, The Hateful Eight and In Bruges.

I’m known for my controversial, but articulate opinions – for example, I consider Prometheus to be the best Alien film and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom the highlight of its series. 

I hold a BA English Literature and Film Studies degree from the University of East Anglia. For my dissertation, I researched the revival of the contemporary Hollywood Western through theories of genre and authorship. I also contributed many film reviews and features to the university’s Concrete student newspaper. 

I originally started The Film Meister in 2015 and to this day, continue to regularly update the site with the latest reviews and features. Please note I stick to the UK release date calendar from 1st January to 31st December – so for example, if you find a film features in an end-of-year list that was recognised in the previous year’s Awards ceremonies, that will be because it released in the UK in that respective year. 

Outside of film, I’m a keen traveller and a passionate cyclist – don’t ask how that’s related to film! I’ve forged a career in the cycling industry as a journalist and you’ll find my work published on BikeRadar.com, Cycling Plus and MBUK magazines, as well as The Cycling Meister.
