[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.

[Editorial] 9 Essential Hagspolitation Horror Films and Where to Stream Them

Hag horror originated in the early 1960’s and enjoyed its heyday during this time. Golden Era Hollywood actresses such as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis suddenly found themselves struggling to win roles over the younger, rising starlets of the time. So, in an ironic moment of art imitating life imitating art, these women turned to psychological horror films centered on unstable and dangerous older women. And a new character archetype was born.

[Editorial] Interview with Alex Phillips on Anything That Moves (2025)

While thematically and tonally different from his first feature, All Jacked Up and Full of Worms (2022), director Alex Phillips continues to create some of the more surreal indie horror films around. While Anything that Moves plays off of giallo and grindhouse genre films of the 70s, there is a unique warmth that Phillips brings along with all the blood and sex.

[Film Review] Bare Skin (2026)

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] 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.
