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

Dead Space (1991)

Unnecessary sci-fi horror remake of a cult hit which in itself was a rip-off of Alien.

Forbidden World (1982)

Roger Corman's second Alien knock-off is an exploitation dream of blood, babes and xenomorph-looking creatures.

Resident Evil (2002)

The best video game adaptation ever made? Resident Evil is daft zombie spills for teenage boys.

The Earth Dies Screaming (1964)

Robots invade the Earth in 60s British sci-fi. I remember this one vividly from my childhood!

Dracula 3000 (2004)

Dracula in Space! Replace the xenomorph with a bloke dressed up in Victorian garb and you get the idea of how bad this will be.

Creature (1985)

Low budget Alien knock-off ticks all of the relevant boxes that low budget 80s sci-fi horror should - gore, boobs and cardboard sets.

Quatermass II (1957)

Sequel with Professor Quatermass uncovering an alien conspiracy which could end the world. Top quality sci-fi from the 50s.

X...the Unknown (1956)

Radioactive blob-like monster from the centre of the Earth makes its way to the surface to terrorise a Scottish community.

Fiend Without a Face (1958)

Invisible brain-slurping monsters created in a thought control experiment are unleashed upon an unsuspecting town.
