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. It's so rare for a horror to actually be scary, or to have a decent plot and character development, but this series… Continue reading The Conjuring 2 (2016)

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). Although flawed, the ghost story that takes the man back home to confront the thing he… Continue reading Horror Round-Up: Creepy Dolls, Teddy Bears, School Girls and the Past That Refuses to Stay Buried.
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. (A sidequel?) This film is more of a thriller than the sci-fi movie that it's predecessor is. In this film, a young woman is… Continue reading 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

Interview: Jackson Stewart, Writer and Director of new horror Beyond The Gates (2016)
Jackson is one of those people who you immediately like. Which is why I thought you might like to meet him. At least online anyway. A US director and writer who got his entry into the Writers Guild of America at just 25, his latest film is a horror involving a VHS game and two… Continue reading Interview: Jackson Stewart, Writer and Director of new horror Beyond The Gates (2016)
Preview: The Purge Election Year
Starring: Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo Director: James DeMonaco You'd be forgiven for rejecting this entry into the franchise as being a further cash in, but there's something about this film that kind of struck me. In this chapter, a US senator wants to make political moves to abolish the Purge, having lost her family to… Continue reading Preview: The Purge Election Year
Cell (2016)
Starring: John Cusak, Samuel L Jackson Director: Tod Williams Perhaps Stephen King horror movies should be their own genre? Whilst you do get fine films like The Shining, you also get amazingly random creations like Dreamcatcher (which you can read more about HERE). They often seem to attract big names, like in this film Samuel… Continue reading Cell (2016)
Tale Of Tales (2015)
Starring: Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C Reilly Director: Matteo Garrone When you think of fairy tales, stories for children spring to mind: princesses, fairies, heroes. But it's easy to forget how dark those stories were in their original incarnations. In this retelling of stories from Giambattista Basile, who wrote them sometime in… Continue reading Tale Of Tales (2015)
Horror Movie Round Up: Strange Children, Haunted Houses and Psychic Experiments.
In this horror round up, we have haunted houses, government psychic investigation, empty buildings with something creeping in the basement, and plenty of people who should not go in there! (But do anyway) We Still Live Here (2015) Probably my favourite on the list, this involves a recently bereaved, middle aged couple moving into a… Continue reading Horror Movie Round Up: Strange Children, Haunted Houses and Psychic Experiments.
