In medical trials around 99% of the subjects suffer no actual side effects from the drugs that are pumped into them, but what about the other 1%? That’s what The Facility takes as its core idea and although it’s not a true story, it is presented as if it’s a reconstruction of an actual event. [...]
Horror as a genre is full of easy targets, which makes it probably the most lampooned genre there is. You have your Scary Movies and A Haunted Houses which spoof all of the recent successes in the genre as well as everything else but then you also have films that parody, honour and do something [...]
I think it’s high time we declared a moratorium on films that are purposefully made to look as shitty and rough as possible. It worked first time around with Rodriguez/Tarantino’s Grindhouse and a few imitators that followed did it well like Hobo with a Shotgun which had the grime without going overboard. As all things [...]
Scanners is the last low-budget Canadian film that David Cronenberg made before he went legit with the masterpiece Videodrome and pretty good Stephen King adaptation The Dead Zone. Scanners was also way ahead of its time, it presents similar themes and characters that would become commonplace some twenty years later with things like Heroes, X-Men and Chronicle. Of [...]
Following on from the rather wonderful Norwegian modern fairy tale Troll Hunter, now we have another attempt at updating fairy-tale and folklore tropes for the modern age with Thale. I would dispel any comparisons with that movie from your mind though before watching Thale because it’s very much a different film. Whereas Troll Hunter was all [...]
Setting back society by demonizing the working classes all over again is writer/director Jason Ford and his film Community, which is definitely not to be confused with the feel good US series now in its fourth season. Ford’s film is another attack on a country where the gulf between the haves and have not’s has never [...]
Two things I am sick of in horror: 1. Found footage films and 2. Zombies. The shambling corpse of the zombie film has been milked to death over the last ten years starting with 28 Days Later and up to now where we somehow have romantic zombies in Warm Bodies. Every couple of years though [...]
The first Grave Encounters won some minor acclaim early last year when released straight to DVD as it went places that Paranormal Activity wouldn’t dare. Here was a film with a set up familiar to anyone who went to the cinema in the hopes of seeing something in the corner of a static video camera. [...]
It must be hard to be the daughter of one of the most acclaimed and idiosyncratic media personalities of all time. Sofia Coppola has managed to step out of her father’s shadow and forge what might eventually be a more impressive career than dear old dad. Duncan Jones sidestepped music altogether, changed his name and [...]
Unbelievably once upon a time House at the End of the Street was a directorial project for Jonathan Mostow with Richard Kelly writing the screenplay, but this was back in 2003 before both Terminator 3 and Southland Tales. You could argue about what the better choice was in terms of both moving on but it [...]
The Wrong Turn franchise, which began in 2003, has had a longer than deserved shelf life due to the fact the second Joe Lynch directed film was that rare beast; a straight to DVD sequel better than the original. So after the pre-requisite prequel we are now on the fifth film where they are not [...]
“Do you think I’m crazy?” This is a line of dialogue spoken by Mary Mason (Katharine Isabelle) at a pivotal and emotional moment towards the end of American Mary, the second film directed by Dead Hooker in a Trunk directors Jen and Sylvia Soska aka Twisted Twins. I bring this up because the crazy question [...]
Quite often in genre cinema, a movie will come along that will spark a wave of imitators and that first movie is so good and so powerful that whatever comes afterwards and deals with the same subject matter can’t hope to not be compared to what came first. It’s why there has never been a [...]
Streaming is becoming an ever popular way to watch movies and now that super fast 4G is with us, it’s even easier to watch movies on the go. EE have given us the task to find the best Horror Comedy movies to watch on one of their 4G phones. While the list of streaming media [...]
True stories adapted into film are seemingly everywhere nowadays. For every Paranormal Activity clone that there is, it’s easy to slap a ‘Based on True Events’ label on the film and give it extra weight. All of the events in these types of films are so familiar and so similar to what many claim actually [...]
Despite seeming to have more and more multiplexes with over ten screens than ever before, we still found ourselves in a situation where a lot of great films end up not getting a cinema release or more frequently end up playing for one week only at the Prince Charles Cinema in London. With the rise [...]
With the series over and having made a decision to not leave Twin Peaks just yet, David Lynch set about making a prequel to the TV series as part of a newly signed four picture deal with production company CIBY 2000. Much of the cast would be reprising their roles from the series to tell [...]
For some strange reason the horror genre has more underrated and undervalued films than pretty much any other genre. The reason for this seems to be that despite films like The Exorcist, The Thing and An American Werewolf in London being considered classics, the genre still isn’t taken seriously. Roughly 75% of the straight to [...]
It really goes without saying but the main event this week is of course the new Bond movie, Skyfall. There’s not even a crappy looking Rom-Com or third-rate animation out this week I can hilariously pretend is ‘the one we’ve all being waiting for’, like I have done so many times before. The studios have [...]
Last year the Hammer horror name made a welcome return with The Woman In Black and now there are three new Blu-ray releases of Hammer classics, The Devil Rides Out, The Mummy’s Shroud and Rasputin The Mad Monk. Back in my teenage years, when there were only four channels of TV to watch in the [...]
