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


Piranha 3D (2010)
The best use of 3D ever put to film and no one is ever going to make me change my mind.
Aug 1


Pegasus Vs Chimera (2012)
A majestic flying horse versus a monstrous lion with a goat's head and a snake for a tail. Oh and it can spew fire too. Doesn't sound a fair match-up.
Aug 1


Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
The ultimate Santa slasher caused quite a stir when it was released in 1984.
Aug 1


The Burning (1981)
One of the slasher genre's best 80s offerings features some gruesome effects and is genuinely unsettling.
Jul 31


Anaconda (1997)
Big dumb B-movie masquerading as a major Hollywood production and arguably the film that led to the glut of low budget CGI creature features that have filled Sy Fy's timeslots in the decades since.
Jul 31


King Kong (1933)
The ultimate in cinematic spectacle has lost little of its impact and influence in today's world.
Jul 31


Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)
Cannibals, empty sanatoriums and hot and horny teenagers are the nature of play for this third sequel.
Jul 30


Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012)
You should know what you're in for with the crazy hillbillies in this fifth entry in the franchise.
Jul 30


Hellraiser: Deader (2005)
Dismal sequel churned out to keep the franchise secure with Dimension for another few years.
Jul 30


Hellraiser IV: Bloodline (1996)
Last of the cinematically released Hellraiser films, Bloodline is a blatant warning about studio interference.
Jul 30




Lake Placid Vs Anaconda (2015)
What happens when you combine two low rent franchises which have been on life support in straight-to-video hell for years? This!
Jul 29


Lake Placid: Legacy (2018)
Sixth film in the series (yes!) tries to be a little more serious and scary than the others, to middling results.
Jul 29


Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (2012)
Never understand why horror series call one of their sequels 'The Final Chapter' because we all know it won't be.
Jul 29


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.
