nb. I am going to write this review without a plot summary as any true horror fan would have already seen Carrie and if you have not, get off this blog immediately and watch it now! Hmmm a Carrie remake? Who’s hair-brained idea was that? How did the pitch go? Lets take Stephen Kings […]
A horror film brought to you from the strong pedigree of ‘Paranormal Activity’s Oren Peli and ‘Saw’s James Wan should be fright perfection. Is Insidous chapter 2 perfection? Not really, but it is fun. Picking up from the precise moment that the first Insidious ended, we are back with Renee (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Patrick Wilson), […]
I have never considered myself a Rob Zombie fan, I dig his name, liked his Halloween remake but that’s about it. I hated House of a Thousand Corpses because I felt it revelled in it’s grotesqueness, made heroes out of the detestable, and to be honest, it made me feel bad for liking horrors. I […]
As of this writing ‘The Conjuring’ is breaking box office records – the biggest domestic opening ever for an original R-rated horror movie, the first horror movie to surpass $100 million domestic. This is wonderful news for horror fans, more studios will fund horrors now, more distributers will take a chance on indie horror, more cinemas […]
This film was not what I expected, and to be honest, not what I wanted. I went to the screening expecting a hard, nasty home invasion story and instead I got a strange-toned movie about survival skills with a comedic streak right through the middle of it. I like horror-comedies when I know thats what […]
Ok, lets get this out the way first: if you’re a fan of the original ‘The Evil Dead’ and you go to the remake expecting the same irreverence, the same gleeful gore, the same Ash; you will be disappointed. This is a re-imagining more so than a remake and things here do not make you […]
There have been some very strange movie plots over the years – Greek muses open a roller rink: Xanadu, Norwegian deer farmers catch evil Father Christmas: Rare Exports, Michael Jackson impersonator falls in love with Marilyn impersonator on an Irish island commune: Mister Lonely and now Sightseers – two sociopaths fall in love and murder […]
So recently a friend asked me what my best foreign horrors are and i drew a blank. Researching today i have realised that this is an area i have sadly neglected in my self-motivated horror education. One that really should be rectified. However, for now i will share with you my list of favourite foreign-language […]
Have you seen Rec? the 2007 Spanish found footage virus zombie extravaganza which was applauded by fans and critics alike for it’s literal edge of your seat thrills and terrors. That movie spawned an equally good sequel, Rec 2, which expanded on the original concept and added layers of information to round out the story […]
Ti West’s The Innkeepers has a lot of foreplay, it takes a long long time before the action gets going – we’re talking a good hour of just hanging with the two employees left behind in the hotel’s last days, shooting the breeze, watching them dance around their chemistry and basically try to amuse themselves […]
