Relevance: 48.46%     Posted on: 2011-06-12 14:46:36

Eaters is a new Italian zombie movie from two first time directors which takes all the traditional elements of the genre and attempts to combine style and action with a deeper religious and philosophical message. Oh, and did I mention its produced by Uwe Boll. Now before your mouse leaps to close ...

Bloodstorm (2012) Review

Relevance: 48.44%     Posted on: 2012-08-14 12:14:23

The most important thing you need to know about Bloodstorm is that its original title was not Bloodstorm. The original, more descriptive, more imaginative, more evocative and downright more insanely superior moniker was in fact Nazis at the Center of the Earth. With a movie named Bloodstorm you don’t know what ...

Remember when you were young? Summer holidays seemed like a magical time for fun and frolicking. Endless summer days where spent playing, hanging out with friends and generally doing what you wanted until the evil spectre of school reared its fetid head and the joy was over. There was always a blip in ...

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) Review

Relevance: 48.05%     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 ...

And Soon The Darkness (2010) Review

Relevance: 47.97%     Posted on: 2011-03-10 14:09:43

Tourists seem to always have a bad time in horror films. Whether it’s the hapless college kids in Hostel, the honeymooning couple in A Perfect Getaway or the tortured tourists in Turistas. It seems horror films constantly serve as a public service announcement to all Americans to avoid going ...

Patrol Men (2010) Review

Ambition is important, without it there would be no rocket ships, no brain surgery, no Ulsysses, no Sistine Chapel and certainly no mint chocolate chip ice cream. However, at a certain point ambition becomes delusion. Charlie Sheen, for instance, may very well want to drink tiger blood and live ...

Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt (2004) Review

The first of our reviews of the fine films in the Fantastic Factory Presents box set is a howling historical horror from the director of [REC] and [REC] 2 based on a real life case of lycanthropy recorded in 1851. Set in a small Spanish village plagued by savage wolf attacks ...

Dexter Season 7 – Mid-Season Review

Relevance: 47.85%     Posted on: 2013-04-02 08:50:17

We've arrived at the half-way point of Dexter season seven - finally here in the UK on FOX - marked by the pretty inappropriate sight of Dexter jumping his victim Hannah McKay on an execution table in a snowy Santa's Grotto. If the moment bordered a bit on the ridiculous ...

Kill Keith (2011) Review

Relevance: 47.74%     Posted on: 2012-03-28 17:19:07

The central premise of the horror comedy Kill Keith revolves around the watcher knowing something many people across this over populated planet will not know; who Keith Chegwin is. Keith Chegwin, or Cheggers as many call him including himself, is a cheesy day time TV presenter born in 1957 who after ...

Stake Land (2010) Review

Relevance: 47.61%     Posted on: 2011-10-16 18:43:58

Its hard to make an original horror movie these days, let alone innovate and reinvigorate a popular monster (such as vampires). Especially when so many movies and TV shows have sucked the blood-suckers dry, forcing forward the same formula which seems to be part teenage angst and part over-sexualisation that ...

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) Review

Relevance: 47.56%     Posted on: 2011-03-25 15:53:22

Normally I would write these reviews while watching the film in the background, but with Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth I’m not at all sure I can be bothered. We’ll wait and see, I might need reminding of some of its subtle nuances or self-referential humour later on. Or ...

V/H/S (2012) Review

Relevance: 47.53%     Posted on: 2012-08-27 08:05:34

Of all the genre’s of film to utilise the portmanteau style, it is horror where the format works the best. Like a group of kids telling ghost stories around a camp fire, these collections of mini monster movies have effectively entertained and scared us for centuries. Starting with 1919’s Eerie Tales ...

Blood Runs Cold (2011) Review

Relevance: 47.33%     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, ...

Mother’s Day (2010) Review

Taking his cues from the 1980 film of the same name, director Darren Lynn Bousman offers a gritty and reasonably effective remake that completely updates and re-imagines Mother’s Day. Throwing you right in at the deep end the film gets off to a quick start and you have to find your ...

A Lonely Place to Die (2011) Review

Relevance: 47.28%     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 ...

Death Bell (2008) Review

Relevance: 47.10%     Posted on: 2011-10-14 16:13:12

High school is hard… In fact, somewhere between the raging hormones, social battles and educational pressure, it is a kind of Hell – a torturous prison that incarcerates, for six hours out of the day, unwilling teenage masses. Nowhere is this idea more perfectly exemplified than horror cinema; Ginger Snaps presented ...
