Starring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Directed By: James Wan I was so excited when I heard this was coming out, and yet I didn't actually get a chance to see it til recently.

London Fright Fest: Beyond The Gates (2016)
Heading into the west half of London for some reason seems like a bit of an adventure. I rarely head over to Shepherd's Bush, but it always amuses me that it's full of Antipodeans. We head across and into the Vue, where at the top of the stairs we're surrounded by beer swilling Londoners, all… Continue reading London Fright Fest: Beyond The Gates (2016)
Horror Round-Up: Creepy Dolls, Teddy Bears, School Girls and the Past That Refuses to Stay Buried.
Back track (2015) Adrien Brody is a bereaved psychologist who is seeing things in this Australian horror, also starring Sam Neill. It's beautifully shot, and Brody is suitably thin and haunted looking, with a subtle accent (thank God).

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Starring: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr Director: Dan Trachtenberg Set in the same narrative world as the events of Cloverfield, but not exactly a sequel. Or a prequel.
