Review: The House of the Devil
It’s a tricky time to be making American Horror films right now. Watching the woeful ‘Horror tribute’ at the recent Academy Awards was a sobering reminder of how often this genre is badly treated and misunderstood by the industry that makes so much money out of it’s loyal fans. Release schedules are packed with endless [...]
Review: The Crazies
I love a good horror movie and when I heard that George Romero’s “The Crazies” was being remade for a new generation I was very intrigued as Romero’s movies always have a certain frightening charm and offer a brilliant satirical message that normally goes beyond a normal horror storyline we get to see, especially in [...]

Shooting has nearly wrapped on indie horror flick Dead Cert, and we’ve been lucky enouh to be sent a set of stills from the film.
Quite apart from the fact that it seems to be filled with some disturbingly attractive vampires (the goth girls were never that hot when I was at school), the film also [...]

On Wednesday night just off Upper Street, Islington, a curious queue of worshipers formed outside the glorious Union Chapel. No bell rang to summon them there and no single faith united them. They had come to worship at the altar of film.
The Jameson Cult Film Club made the inspired choice of location and throughout the week [...]

The Blair Witch Project: Ten Years On – Part 1
Halloween is upon us! Ten years ago this week, to coincide with Halloween, The Blair Witch Project was released in the UK. Combine that fact with the recent release of the Blair-like Paranormal Activity, and it’s clearly the perfect time to take a look back at the original shaky-cam horror movie.
