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


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..
Aug 15, 2023


Scarecrow Slayer (2003)
Unwanted and unrelated sequel to a terrible slasher film which makes the same mistakes.
Aug 15, 2023


Dead Space (1991)
Unnecessary sci-fi horror remake of a cult hit which in itself was a rip-off of Alien.
Aug 15, 2023


One Million Years B.C. (1966)
Hammer. Stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen. Raquel Welch in THAT bikini. Happy days.
Aug 14, 2023


When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970)
Caveman film with limited dialogue but plenty of dino action and top-heavy women to keep the interest levels high.
Aug 14, 2023


Aztec Rex (2007)
The Spanish thought they only had to worry about the Aztecs when Cortés landed in 1521 but they forgot about the T-Rex. Silly Spaniards.
Aug 14, 2023


Dark Waters (2003)
Stare closely at this image and you'll see the sharks more than you do in this awful Deep Blue Sea wannabe.
