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

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

Hammer's sole venture in werewolf territory is only saved by a brilliant debut performance by Oliver Reed.

City of the Living Dead (1980)

The first of Lucio Fulci's unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy is a mind-bending mix of surreal imagery, visceral gore and utter nonsense.

Cherry Falls (2000)

Generic teen slasher with a slightly post-modern twist in the tale - only virgins need to worry about this killer!

Piranha (1995)

Unnecessary TV movie remake of Joe Dante's cult 1978 hit is still an ok watch, only if you haven't seen the original.

Orcs! (2011)

Silly film which is a bit of fun - I mean how can you take orcs in the real world seriously?

Octopus 2: River of Fear (2001)

Shamelessly terrible sequel with a giant rubbery octopus attacking New York.

One-Eyed Monster (2008)

"Want to know what the hell it sounded like? I think it sounded like... 30 men getting massacred by a dick." If that doesn't sell the film..

Scarecrow Slayer (2003)

Unwanted and unrelated sequel to a terrible slasher film which makes the same mistakes.

Dead Space (1991)

Unnecessary sci-fi horror remake of a cult hit which in itself was a rip-off of Alien.
