[Film Review] Redux Redux (2025)
Redux Redux comes to streaming off the back of a fair amount of hype after playing several festivals, including South by Southwest, where it had its premiere as part of their Midnighter strand last year. Festival hype is, of course, always to be taken with a grain of salt, but in the case of Redux Redux, it feels very warranted.
[Film Review] The Convenience Store (2026)
Anyone who’s ever spent any time in Japan will likely be familiar with the allure of the convenience store. The humble konbini is so much more than just a place to buy cheap coffee and cigarettes – it’s a beacon aglow on even the darkest of nights, where a fluffy egg sando or crisp sliver of Famichiki awaits, the convenience store serves as a reminder that you are never too far from creature comforts, and the company of another human being.
[Film Review] Red Riding (2026)
Fairy tales and horror almost go hand in hand; from a young age, we read cautionary tales, warning us about whom we should trust and, in Little Red Riding Hood’s case, to ‘beware of the Big Bad Wolf’. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that we see horror filmmakers take these stories and adapt them to the big screen with their own spin on the classic tales.
[Film Review] Queens of the Dead (2025)
“This is not a George Romero movie. There is no such thing as a zombie, okay?” No girl, this is a Tina Romero movie! Funny, fabulous and unapologetically queer, Queens of the Dead is the debut feature from Tina Romero.
[Film Review] Violence (2026)
Kicking off the final day, we have Violence, a blood-soaked thriller set in an alternate 1980’s that will shake away any remnant of hangover from the night before and wake up the audience.
[Film Review] Bury the Devil (2026)
While many horror films may feature a similar set-up, few pack the emotional punch of Adam O’Brien’s new film Bury the Devil, which premiered March 6 at FrightFest Glasgow.
[Film Review] Jailbroken (2026)
Like the analogy of a frog in a boiling pot of water, the tension steadily builds upon itself throughout the film, until the climatic ending, when the viewer can hardly believe that just eighty minutes ago Joe was flying high on his upcoming freedom.
[Film Review] Iron Lung (2026)
Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach has been a staple of the YouTube horror gaming scene since his debut in 2012. Now he's traded his computer screen for the big screen with his adaptation of David Szymanski's 2022 indie game Iron Lung.
[Film Review] God of Frogs (2026)
Canadian horror God of Frogs, a psychedelic blend of creature feature, folk and body horror manages this feat remarkably well. Each segment has a different director, but all four follow the same monster, which returns to feed every 25 years.
[Film Review] V/H/S Halloween (2025)
The American found footage horror anthology film V/H/S Halloween was produced by Bloody Disgusting and released on Shudder following 2024’s V/H/S Beyond. It brings us a collection of October 31st-themed video tapes covering sinister stories from the darkly absurd to the gloriously gory. If you’re into camp chaos, then this chapter of analogue abhorrence is probably for you.
[Film Review] Bare Skin (2026)
Five strangers arrive for a group therapy session, each of them victims of extreme trauma. They have been brought together in the hope that sharing their experiences in the confines of a safe space will foster healing, or at least the beginning of it. But as the strangers tell their stories, an unsettling truth becomes clear: they may have more connecting them than they realise…
[Film Review] Stream (2024)
Stream is a cutting commentary on the gamification of everything, that humans will bet on anything if they get bored enough, and how the screen makes us feel separated from violence. A sequel is already in the works, and Stream 2 plans to explore the wider world, and show more behind-the-scenes of the games.
[Film Review] Breathing In (2023)
Ever since there has been war, there has been art about war. Viewers at the 2023 Brooklyn Horror Film Festival were lucky enough to see the world premiere of Jaco Bouwer's film Breathing In, a tense thriller about the trauma of war and colonisation, and the corrosive effects on power.
[Film Review] Mother of Flies (2025)
The healing power of nature is widely known, and Mother of Flies takes this to another level and adds some witchcraft to it when student Mickey seeks dark magic from natural healer, Solveig, for a cure to her deadly diagnosis, a ritual that tiptoes the veil between life and death.
[Film Review] Before Heated Rivalry, There Was Good Neighbours (2010)
Like Heated Rivalry, Good Neighbours shows Tierney’s ability to creep into a character’s mind (and heart – if they have one) and subtly reveal their thoughts and emotions on screen. However, the trio he focuses on for Good Neighbours is made up of people whose brutality is shocking and whose empathy is missing.
[Film Review] Lure (2026)
Finding the perfect match is a hellscape in today's modern dating world. Let alone finding the perfect partner and the perfect parent for your future child, which almost feels as though we need to jump through hoops and put ourselves through endless games that, for the most part, lead us to nowhere.
[Film Review] Garden of Love (2003)
In German Gore Master, Olaf Ittenbach's, Garden of Love (2003), Rebecca (Natacza Boon) is a grown woman with a mysterious past. Something horrible happened in her childhood, and the ghosts of her dead family are pleading with her to solve the mystery. This film drags the viewer on a bloody journey to uncover the secrets of Rebecca’s tragedy.
[Film Review] I Know Exactly How You Die (2026)
Sometimes the best horror happens in the space where reality and dreams (or nightmares) mesh. Slipstream, which is a term used more often in literature than in film, describes a story that has this dreamy, surreal quality.
[Film Review] We Bury the Dead (2025)
The history of the zombie sub-genre is one of deep thematic potential. Whilst sometimes it’s undoubtedly fun to enjoy a good headshot or effective practical makeup effects, the best zombie movies are the ones that say something.
[Film Review] A Desert (2024)
Following his decades working in film preservation, Joshua Erkman stepped behind the camera in his 2024 directorial debut, A Desert – a viciously bleak exploration of fading optimism in the US, urban paranoia, and decay set in a nightmarish world that is almost too much to look at.
