Reviewing the best (and worst) of horror, sci-fi and fantasy since 2000

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

Underappreciated and underrated sequel to an all-time great which gets unfairly maligned.

New Alcatraz (2001)

Escape from New York meets Anaconda in this low budget formulaic snake flick.

Vampire Circus (1972)

Late Hammer horror which is one of their strongest vampire films, if not one of their best overall.

Mr Vampire Part 3 (1987)

More cornball kung-fu horror comedy antics with Mr Vampire and his bumbling assistants.

Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971)

Hammer's final mummy film doesn't feature a bandage-wearing monster.

The Mummy's Shroud (1967)

Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet in Hammer's third mummy movie.

The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964)

Hammer made virtually a remake of The Mummy, only without any of the things that made one that such a classic.

The Mummy (1959)

The last of Hammer's initial "big three" horrors isn't as strong as the other two but is still a damned fine example of British horror.

The Monster Club (1981)

Attempting to revive the quaint old school British horror anthology in the 80s wasn't a good move amidst the teen slashers.
