So along with our usual fantastic coverage (highlights including the delights of the London Film Festival) expect to see lots of ghosts, ghouls,...

The Omen Pentology (1976 – 2006)

The Omen Pentology (1976 – 2006)
I don’t think I need to say too much about The Omen before moving on to review the movies in the series. It’s a very particular type of horror movie but it’s quite possibly the best of that type and stands tall as yet another classic of the genre. So let me just begin with [...]

Friday The 13th (2009)

Friday The 13th (2009)
If you don’t know by now what to expect from a Friday The 13th movie then you’ve been hiding somewhere dark and damp for far too long. And not been reading any of my other reviews. Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask and kills a selection of young, fit teens (usually after they’ve just...

Mimic (1997)

Mimic (1997)
With Cronos bringing Guillermo del Toro to the attention of horror fans worldwide, it was inevitable that he would be offered a glossy, Hollywood horror movie to move on with his career. That he took it and then saw the project twisted out of recognition and causing him no small amount of problems is...

Freddy Vs. Jason (2003)

Freddy Vs. Jason (2003)
Is it possible that a film I had been waiting SO long for could possibly live up to my expectations, and the expectations of so many other horror fans around the world? Well, from my point of view alone, I would have to say a resounding “YES”. Director Ronny Yu (who previously rejuvenated...

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
My reviews of the first two movies can be found here. Well, I guess I’ve nobody to blame but myself. Every time a Paranormal Activity movie comes out I get my hopes up and every time there seems to be a squandering of potential that disappoints me but keeps plenty of other people very happy [...]

Jason X (2001)

Jason X (2001)
There are a number of rules, always with exceptions (of course), that most horror franchises seem to abide by. One to note is that a franchise is in trouble if it heads out to space. Witness Leprechaun 4. Or don’t. Witness Hellraiser IV: Bloodline. Or don’t. Critters 4 manages to get by but...

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Well, just as the fourth instalment in this series didn’t actually turn out to be “The Final Chapter” so it turns out that Jason Goes To Hell isn’t actually “The Final Friday”, despite a major attempt by director Adam Marcus (who also helped come up with the story) to put a very different...

Feast III: The Happy Finish (2009)

Feast III: The Happy Finish (2009)
Well, we’re back in a small town overrun by greedy, horny monsters and it’s crunch time for those who survived up until the end of the second movie. They have to move and find a better place to offer protection from the nasty beasties and they have to do it fast. Luckily, there’s also a [...]

Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (2008)

Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (2008)
Feast was a fun, throwaway movie that probably upset a few people with the graphic violence and amount of different body fluids on display. But just in case anyone wasn’t offended by it, director John Gulager brings the sequel. Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are still on writing duties and this...
