As a horror fan, if you’re looking for some fun Sunday night spookiness to switch on and switch off in front of, The Scary of Sixty-First (2021) is not for you.

[Film Review] Bite (2022)

A film that can be considered a cross between Snatch and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre sounds like a pretty good deal, and overall, director James Owen’s Bite takes bits from each film in a manner that doesn’t entirely feel like a retread, but also doesn’t quite hit the mark of an original genre film.

[Film Review] The Blood of the Dinosaurs (2021)

An opening sequence almost too fitting for this type of film comically enters the screen as an actor of this very project asks writer-director Joe Badon, “what the hell is your movie about?”

[Film Review] Barbarian (2022)

One of the most anticipated titles of the year was the UK premiere of Zach Creggers Barbarian. The trailer released back in June was pretty vague – a young woman (Tess Marshall played by Georgina Campbell) – arrives at a house she has rented out on Airbnb only to find that the key has already been taken and a man named Keith (Bill Skarsgard) has already checked in.

[Film Review] Making Off (2012)

The beauty of extreme films can often be found in their ability to blur the realms of fiction and reality, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in a world so corrupt, so heinous it can provoke a physical reaction.

[Film Review] Ultrasound (2021)

Ultrasound (2021) is an intriguing watch, keeping you on your toes, allowing you to fall for its understated approach to a high concept plot before throwing revelations thick and fast after revealing a couple of plot twists, leaving you reeling with the same thoughts as its three protagonists; how do you know what is real?
