TrollHunter (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2011-08-30 09:52:52

Norway is a mystery to me. I don’t know much about it and that often keeps me up at night. I know a few Norwegian people and all I can seem to glean from them is that all Norwegians are either drunk, mad or both. The country’s landscape is diverse ...

A Lonely Place to Die (2011) Review

     Posted on: 2011-08-30 09:10:58

Julian Gilbey’s previous feature, 2007s Rise of the Footsoldier, is the kind of exploitative, no-nonsense thugs-on-a-mission movie that splits audiences into two definitive categories. There are those who abhor it, citing the detestable characters and kinetic violence as grimly masturbatory and those who admire it as a simple, balls-to-the-wall, gritty ...

The original Fright Night was released in 1985 and told the tale of a teenage boy (Charley) who has the misfortune to witness one of his neighbours getting up to vampire stuff (you know, biting necks and killing people). Knowing that the vampire knows that he knows that he's a vampire ...

And so it came to pass that on Day 4 of FrightFest I queued. Arriving before the Empire opened I was greeted by FrightFest fans all in a line holding on for the opening of the glass doors which lead to the realm of horrors awaiting us all on this sunny ...

Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) Review

     Posted on: 2011-08-28 10:49:49

‘It’s the American Shaun of the Dead’…a statement you will no doubt have heard one to many times in relation to vaguely entertaining comedy horrors released in the wake of Edgar Wright’s fanboy classic. Typically it’s an unjustified comparison regurgitated by lazy journalists and unimaginative PR agencies. That all said, Tucker ...

Troll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the way that Saturday 27th started for me in the darkened Screen 1 of the Empire Leicester Square as the superb Scandinavian monster movie TrollHunter opened day 3 of FrightFest with a ground shaking, bone breaking, laugh making, found footage film as original as it was entertaining and ...

Friday the 26th was a grey and grim day indeed weather wise and as I strutted through the streets on my way to the Empire for the second day of FrightFest fun I was determined not to let the rain and wet dampen my spirits. Inside the cinema was busier than ...

LoveHorror at FrightFest 2011 – Day 1

     Posted on: 2011-08-26 12:10:23

Thursday 25th of August and as the sun shone down on London town I walked hurriedly from the tube station through the tourist crowds, past the useless leaflet hounds and the free paper pushers towards the Empire Cinema Leicester Square to start my five day horror film marathon at FrightFest ...

Final Destination 5 (2011) Review

     Posted on: 2011-08-26 06:26:38

Starting way back in 2000, the first Final Destination film introduced the audience to the idea that death had a design and a plan, and if you cheated that plan not only would death come for you, it would make sure you died in the most gruesome and horrible way ...
