Curandero (2005)
Curandero – a traditional Native American healer or shaman in Latin America, who is dedicated to curing physical or spiritual illnesses. So near and yet so far. Those were my feelings towards Eduardo Rodriguez’s feature length debut (co-written by one Robert Rodriguez) , a Mexican horror/action...

The Facility (2012)
It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how many horror films I have watched (and we’re talking a fair few here), something always appears which manages to shock me – though not always in the way intended. It increasingly seems that new films which fall with the remit of the horror genre...

The Liability (2012)
The Hit is a 1984 British crime drama featuring Tim Roth’s debut movie performance, playing a hot headed accomplice to John Hurt’s world weary hitman. Now, nearly thirty years later, Roth’s debut role is reversed in another British crime drama, as he takes on the role of Roy, a professional...

Vehicle 19 (2013)
Vehicle 19 is an interesting film. It’s not entirely successful, but it tries to do something a bit different from so many other action thrillers. For a start, it’s almost entirely set in the titular vehicle. Paul Walker stars as Michael Woods, according to the accompanying publicity blurb...

Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013)
When the J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek was released in 2009 it did the seemingly impossible and breathed new life into a film franchise that had well and truly run its course. With no new Star Trek series on TV there seemed to be little hope of further big screen releases. However, in giving the [...]

21 & Over (2013)
I’m sure that those responsible for marketing 21 & Over will assume that those who enjoyed Project X will also end up liking this. They would be wrong. I really liked Project X but disliked this movie, for reasons that I’ll describer later in this review. The plot is simplicity itself....

Deadfall (2013)
There are people, your correspondent among them, who have sat through the whole of Rob Reiner’s sublime This is Spinal Tap without ever twigging that it is a spoof. In the theatre where I have just returned from watching Stefan Ruzowitzky’s brilliant Coen Brothers parody Deadfall there were...

The Bigfoot Tapes (2012)
As much as I love The Blair Witch Project, it has a lot to answer for. While it wasn’t the first found footage movie, with Cannibal Holocaust predating it by nearly two decades, it certainly popularised the subgenre. The huge profits and seeming ease of production sending a thousand (mostly inept)...

Konga (1961)
Touted by its trailer as “exploding with spectacle” in “SpectaMation” and “Eastman colour“, this daft, romping killer gorilla flick from lowbrow Brit director John Lemont (whose exuberant introduction on the DVD places him halfway between Derek Jacobi and Dale Winton)...
