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


New Alcatraz (2001)
Escape from New York meets Anaconda in this low budget formulaic snake flick.
Aug 26, 2023


Vampire Circus (1972)
Late Hammer horror which is one of their strongest vampire films, if not one of their best overall.
Aug 26, 2023


Mr Vampire Part 3 (1987)
More cornball kung-fu horror comedy antics with Mr Vampire and his bumbling assistants.
Aug 22, 2023


Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971)
Hammer's final mummy film doesn't feature a bandage-wearing monster.
Aug 22, 2023


The Mummy's Shroud (1967)
Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet in Hammer's third mummy movie.
Aug 22, 2023


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.
Aug 21, 2023


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.
Aug 21, 2023


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.
Aug 21, 2023


The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)
Hammer's sole venture in werewolf territory is only saved by a brilliant debut performance by Oliver Reed.
Aug 20, 2023


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.
Aug 20, 2023


Cherry Falls (2000)
Generic teen slasher with a slightly post-modern twist in the tale - only virgins need to worry about this killer!
Aug 20, 2023


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.
Aug 18, 2023


Orcs! (2011)
Silly film which is a bit of fun - I mean how can you take orcs in the real world seriously?
Aug 16, 2023


Octopus 2: River of Fear (2001)
Shamelessly terrible sequel with a giant rubbery octopus attacking New York.
Aug 15, 2023


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..
