Missing (2009) Review

     Posted on: 2011-02-03 10:16:43

W[Delta]Z, Martyrs, Hostel II, 7 Days... All movies that have sought, in some capacity or another, to expand on the torture film formula, experimenting with the clichés that plague the genre and subverting audience expectation. Missing, sadly, possesses no such lofty ambitions. But it does distinguish itself with a ...

Hellraiser (1987) Review

     Posted on: 2011-02-02 09:24:29

‘What’s your pleasure Mr. Cotton?’ And so begins our rather sordid and dirty adventure into the bat-shit crazy mind of Clive Barker. Written and directed by our favourite Liverpudlian sado-masochist and based on his short story ‘Hellbound Heart’, Hellraiser delivers a terrific alternative to slasher horror, by presenting something altogether more... ...

Devil’s Playground (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2011-01-21 20:03:23

Premiered at last years Gorezone festival and now out on DVD and Blu-Ray Devil’s Playground is a pure slice of entertaining British zombie movie mayhem very much drinking from the same squirting vein as 28 Days Later and the like. Following the decimation of the United Kingdom after a chemical company ...

New Alien Vs Ninja Trailer

     Posted on: 2011-01-21 18:02:53

If you like your horror wild and wacky and full of action, then look no further than Alien Vs Ninja. It's a gut bursting horror in the same vein as Robo-geisha and Samurai Zombie which we first saw at Frightfest last year. Non-stop martial arts mayhem meets monster mash-up in this fantastic ...

Pumpkinhead (1988) Review

     Posted on: 2011-01-15 18:32:34

When I was about nine years old, Pumpkinhead was one of THE horror films to watch.  I hadn’t read any reviews or talked to anyone who’d actually seen it, in fact I didn’t even know what it was about, but it definitely had the most terrifying box in the whole ...

F (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2011-01-11 10:08:07

Hoodies. The word alone strikes fear into the hearts of the modern masses. As a buzz word for bullying bunches of anti-social anarchists roaming our streets like packs of wild animals armed with knives instead of claws. As panicked as you may already be by the media frenzy around the youth ...

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2010-12-22 13:03:23

A Christmas film devoid of any schmaltzy sentimentality and cheesy clichés is a glorious gift indeed and so often it is the case that simply injecting a bit of fear into your festive film can lead to wondrous results. In between the cheap as tinsel TV movies and the overblown Hollywood ...

Psych:9 (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2010-12-08 14:02:05

Down on her luck and desperate for work Roslyn (Sara Foster) takes a job at a recently closed hospital collating patient records. The job which is a seemingly never ending and monotonous task is made more interesting by the occasional appearance of Dr. Clement (Cary Elwes), who is happy to help ...

Colin (2008) Review

     Posted on: 2010-12-06 18:28:16

Over recent years there have a been a few sneaky methods employed to justify and promote low budget horror. In the case of The Blair Witch, the film itself was initially promoted as real camcorder footage that had been discovered in  a forest somewhere (a great gimmick and excuse for ...

Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide (2010)

     Posted on: 2010-11-24 11:08:08

The Video Nasties phenomenon during the 1980’s was a very English episode in horror history dominated by and summed up perfectly by the words in the subtitle to Jake West’s excellent documentary included in this box set on the subject; moral panic, censorship and videotape. Across 3 discs this collectors edition ...

Black Christmas (1974)

     Posted on: 2010-10-25 12:22:19

Black Christmas is notorious. It unwittingly became the blueprint for the slasher subgenre, pioneering the use of its two main devices; that of protracted POV (point of view) shots (á la Lady in the Lake) and menacing phone calls from an unidentified psycho killer ‘qu'est-ce que c'est?’ It inspired John ...

Lake Placid 3 (2010)

     Posted on: 2010-10-23 15:35:40

Yes! Cut and Slash loves blood and he gets it in the first 4 minutes of this film. I couldn't believe the female character who gets eaten is Roxanne Palett  ex-Coronation Street!!! Nice to see some female flesh so early on in a film. Cut and Slash happy! In Lake Placid ...

Piranha (1978) Review

     Posted on: 2010-10-22 15:09:54

Executive produced by the tireless Roger Corman, Piranha ticks every box for a certain type of old school horror film. It’s derivative, full of surprises, titillating, much of the dialogue is completely nonsensical, and there’s blood everywhere... In short, I love this film. Sure, the plot sounds like it was ...

ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009)

     Posted on: 2010-10-18 02:20:06

With an amazing and ridiculous name like Zombies of Mass Destruction you may be thinking ‘oh no not another zombie comedy’ but this brilliant and brutal hilarious horror has a serious satirical bite that takes a tasty chunk out of American paranoia and Islamophobia post 9/11. It is 2003 and as ...

Mega Shark in Malibu (2009)

     Posted on: 2010-10-15 03:00:30

A boardroom somewhere in LA. Present are The Boss, (a cigar chomping, cocaine snorting relic of the 1980s, pin stripe suit, Oakley sunglasses, hair slicked back into a pony tail) David Lister, (The Boss’ South African nephew, a blind film school graduate) Keith Shaw (hack writer extraordinaire) and Smyth ...

     Posted on: 2010-10-09 18:11:30

It’s grim up north, as the saying goes, but since last year every Halloween in Manchester it gets a whole lot grimmer as the North’s premier horror film festival Grimm Up North brings four days of frightening films taking place from the 28th of October to Halloween itself on the ...
