Midsommar (2019) Review

October 7, 2020 Ben

Midsommar is perfectly unnerving. It is horror in its purest sense, in that you are never really scared, there are no “cattle-prod” scares that jolt you in your seat or force a weak scream. Instead this film presents you with … Continue reading Midsommar (2019) Review

Child’s Play (1988) Review

October 7, 2019 Ben

Chucky the killer doll has slowly become synonymous with comedy horror. He is a character that has lost his bite and gone from a cinematic horror icon to having his movie slowly released straight-to-DVD with little to no fan-fare. This is … Continue reading Child’s Play (1988) Review

Us (2019) Review

March 30, 2019March 30, 2019 Ben

Jordan Peele is fast becoming a master of the horror genre. While Blumhouse create movies for the popcorn summer crowd, guaranteed to make the audience scream and jump on multiple occasions, Peele is crafting an area of horror which is smarter, … Continue reading Us (2019) Review

Review Bonanza: Suspiria (1977) Review

January 3, 2019January 2, 2019 Ben

From the opening sequence involving a storm, a weird dance-school and a girl becoming sharply and grotesquely cut to shreds by falling glass: you are well aware that Suspiria is not going to be your conventional horror movie. In fact, it … Continue reading Review Bonanza: Suspiria (1977) Review

Horror Month: Village of the Damned (1995) Review

October 17, 2018October 16, 2018 Ben

Kids will always be creepy. Be it their angelic voices saying twisted things or their ability to be places they shouldn’t be: they will always strike fear if they are involved in horror.

Horror Month: Halloween (1978) Review

October 1, 2018September 30, 2018 Ben

There is a reason that Halloween is such an iconic horror movie. The moment that theme starts, before any actual images appear on-screen, the chills begin to creep-up your spine. It sets the tone for the cold, unique opening as we … Continue reading Horror Month: Halloween (1978) Review

The Houses October Built (2014) Review

December 29, 2016December 29, 2016 Ben

There is a creepy sense of realism in The Houses October Built which will unnerve many a viewer. This movie could well have been staged as a documentary, using talking-head interviews, first-hand experiences and then coming to a valid conclusion of … Continue reading The Houses October Built (2014) Review

Horror Week: The Amityville Horror (1979) Review

November 5, 2016November 4, 2016 Ben

The central idea of The Amityville Horror isn’t a new one. A house which seemingly possesses or drives the new inhabitants crazy has been done many times before and since and in a lot of cases, much more effectively than here. … Continue reading Horror Week: The Amityville Horror (1979) Review

Horror Week: Ringu (1998) Review

November 4, 2016November 4, 2016 Ben

There is legitimate argument that Ringu isn’t a horror movie at all. The Japanese cult movie feels like it should be a horror and has a great horror premise but when you actually watch the movie, it never really delivers the … Continue reading Horror Week: Ringu (1998) Review
