This week’s Spotlight episode covers a big screen horror movie, witty lessons from penguins, and the glitz and glamour of South African Fashion Week.

Adapted from the popular video game and with the same name, Until Dawn is about a group of people searching for their missing friend ... but they mysteriously die, one by one. Waking up and being forced to relive their terror until dawn, over and over again. The film, which is on at cinemas, takes horror to the next level. From director David F Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation; Lights Out) and starring Ella Rubin, Peter Stormare and Michael Cimino.

The Penguin Lessons is based on a true story and follows a cynical Englishman working as a teacher in Argentina. A chance encounter with a penguin forces him to adopt the adorable and charming bird as his companion, and he learns more about humanity from it than he could ever have expected. Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, Björn Gustafsson, David Herrero and directed by The Full Monty's Peter Cattaneo. At cinemas.
