Sinister – The Mind of Ellison Oswald

Relevance: 33.19%     Posted on: 2012-09-09 15:32:11

Sinister reigned supreme as an unyielding horror classic-to-be at this year's Frightfest, in no doubt down to a compelling central performance from Ethan Hawke as Ellison Oswald, the most enigmatic yet opaque writer to hit the silver screen since Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

The Innkeepers (2011) Review

Buildings have memories. Houses, churches, hospitals, and hotels all hold echo’s of the past, reflections of events that have taken place between the four walls and when the walls talk often they tell tales of sadness, betrayal and fear. This was definitely the experience of director Ti West who found himself ...

As a horror debut you couldn’t get a more chilling calling card than Creep, the movie which introduced us to the talents of British director and screenwriter Christopher Smith, and made us all totally terrified of the tube.

Blood Runs Cold (2011) Review

Relevance: 13.81%     Posted on: 2011-10-04 14:55:36

After some deliberation, I genuinely think Blood Runs Cold might be a very subtle parody. A standard premise with any number of ways to go (people in isolated place + monster) slides along the ice to become staggeringly stupid. The scenario in Blood Runs Cold is very vaguely sketched. Our protagonist, ...

I think we have enough evidence to just say, if something bad happened somewhere it should be levelled (certainly ...

As you could probably tell from our recent review, we liked Credo - it was the best British horror film that we had seen for a while.
