EVE OF DESTRUCTION - It's always nice to take a jaunt back to the days of the clamshell with a movie that captures the essence of your local early nineties video shop. Did I ever clock this one on...

LOVERS LANE - Despite claims of sass in the blurb, these post-'Scream' teens are too dumb for meta. They act like they're in a much earlier kind of film; 'Lovers Lane' was released in the late...

THE SINISTER DR ORLOFF - Franco's at it again with yet another riff on his 'Orloff' character. Now it's the eighties, with Howard Vernon playing Dr O as an old man allowing his son centre stage in...

KILL LIST - Every once in a while I like to revisit 'Kill List', Wheatley's second feature and the one that put him on the map. It's such a strong movie; the 2010s were a good decade for horror with...

CANNIBAL CAMPOUT - For god's sake never tell a cannibal you're pregnant, you'll end up in a gag that goes something like "now there's a womb with a view!". That gag appears in 'Cannibal Campout', and...

MOTHER'S DAY - This remake of the Charlie Kaufmann original seems at first to swap schlock for smoothness, but soon gets the bile flowing with escalating nastiness. A trio of thugs gatecrash a yuppie...

EVIL JUDGEMENT - There's a smidge of discord about this Canadian giallo / slasher that had me intrigued. The characters are 'off', events roll by at random as if in search of another script - a tramp...

CREATURES FROM THE ABYSS – What sticks in my mind is the massive toy bear they find in one of the rooms. I like the way it’s just ‘there’. It crops up again, looming in silhouette against a...
