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


Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out (1989)
Second sequel sees the return of the killer Santa Ricky Caldwell, only this time he doesn't get to dress up. Or talk. Or do anything remotely cool.

Elves (1989)
Truly one of the most awful Christmas-themed horror films to have been made but its a car crash of ideas that is strangely compelling.

Scared to Death (1980)
Synthetic monster goes on a killing rampage in this low budget 1980 creature feature.
Nov 17, 2025


Demon of Paradise (1987)
Obscure 1950s-style man-in-a-suit monster movie just didn't work in the 1980s.
Nov 12, 2025


The Beyond (1981)
Some say it's Fulci's best Italian horror film. Whether you like it or not, you'll never forget this surreal nightmare.
Nov 8, 2025


Food of the Gods II (1989)
Unrelated sequel is sleazier and more violent than it's predecessor in a typically 80s way.
Nov 6, 2025


Hard Rock Zombies (1984)
Painfully terrible zombie film which throws in everything from werewolves to Adolf Hitler and with a big dose of 80s heavy metal.
Nov 6, 2025


The Phantom of the Opera (1989)
Robert Englund swaps his Freddy fedora for the Phantom's fedora in this gory 80s update of the classic Gaston Leroux tale.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)
This should be titled Part 1 and a 1/2 as forty minutes of it are flashbacks from the original.
