25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2018 - Ranked

22. Upgrade

Upgrade Logan Marshall Green
BH Tilt

Release Date: June 1

Billed As: The latest movie from Saw creator Leigh Whannell, following a man (Logan Marshall-Green) who has an experimental microchip placed in his spinal cord, giving him superhuman abilities as he seeks to avenge his wife's murder.

Hype: It's got a neat as hell premise, the trailer looks awesome, and early reviews from SXSW have been solidly positive. It seems like Upgrade's going to deliver lashings of dark humour, extremely stylish action sequences and, yes, buckets of gore.

Basically, this looks like it could deliver the barmy, video game-esque thrills that Hardcore Henry attempted a few years ago with rather middling results.
