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


Howling II (1985)
A terrible sequel which is so terrible that it becomes superb. Christopher Lee said it was the worst film he ever starred in.
Jul 29


The Ghost Galleon (1974)
Third outing in the Blind Dead series, this one takes a bit of a dive in quality but is still a great watch.
Jul 28


Wishmaster (1997)
Solid 90s attempt to create a new horror icon never really manages to live up to its premise.
Jul 27


Gappa, the Triphibian Monster (1967)
Laughable effects dominate this low point in the Japanese kaiju cycle.
Jul 27


Horror Express (1972)
Peter Cushing. Christopher Lee. A brain-sucking Yeti. And stuck on board the Trans-Siberian Express no less!
Jul 27


Triassic Attack (2010)
Conveyor belt creature feature from Sy Fy features living dinosaur skeletons this time around.
Jul 27


Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Quick cash-in on the success of the fourth part is symptomatic of everything the series would begin to do wrong going forward.
Jul 26


Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Michael Myers returns after being awol from the second sequel in this solid follow-up.
Jul 26


A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)
The worst sequel in the franchise is a mess of crass self-awareness, dated pop culture swagger and some ideas which never should have been given the greenlight.
Jul 25


A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)
Third sequel of the franchise is where things started to get silly.
Jul 25


Deep Blue Sea 2 (2018)
Basically a lower budgeted remake rather than a sequel which downgrades everything from the casting to the special effects.
Jul 25


Birds of Prey (1987)
Exploitation version of Hitchcock's The Birds is every bit as trashy and low rent as you'd expect it to be.
Jul 25


Behemoth (2011)
Sy Fy Original movie which at least has something BIG to cause havoc for our usual array of stereotypes.
Jul 25
