David Robert Mitchell’s supernatural chiller ‘It Follows’ has quite deservedly caused something of a stir in the horror community. With the general consensus between critics being that it is refreshingly original, nail bitingly tense and reminiscent of Carpenter’s hey-day style, it has a lot to live up to in the expectation department. I watched hoping […]

 Just when it felt like we’d seen every variation of the Asian ghost story, along comes ‘Shutter’—a relatively obscure Thai horror film that turned out to be one of the scariest of the lot. We went in expecting just another by-the-numbers supernatural thriller, but within minutes, the film had us gripped, and for the next […]

I’ve often wondered, with the films we consider established classics today, did audiences back then know what they were viewing would be revered decades later? If it is possible to make such a prediction, I’m going to be bold and say that ‘Late night with the Devil’ is surely a modern classic. Everything about this […]

‘Stop Motion’ is an unnerving horror movie whose unique and striking visuals offer an equally unsettling abstract edge. The plot is simple, whilst the execution is both thought provoking and intricate.  The movie opens as an elderly lady recruits her reluctant daughter to help her complete what would be her final stop motion animated film.

‘The Exorcism’ sees Russel Crowe return to battle evil in a film whose intriguing meta concept is hampered by an inconsistent tone and poor quality of scares. The movie however, has an undeniably devilish plot with so much potential. It follows production on the set of a fictional remake of the classic ‘Exorcist’ movie. They […]

‘Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum’ has got all the ingredients to hit a horror homerun, and then some. Set in an abandoned asylum deep in the Korean countryside a team of influencers hope to achieve online fame by live-streaming a walkthrough and Seanance in the troubled derelict. There was a time about 10 years of so when […]

We were famously told to stay off the moors in 1981 and for good reason, and whilst Chris Cronin’s ‘The Moor’ perhaps doesn’t hold quite the same level of threat as Landis’s Werewolf, it’s still just as good advice now as it was then. ‘The Moor’ a (very) slow burn piece of horror creeps its […]

‘The Cleansing Hour’, a lucrative and ‘Vatican licenced’ social media brand, puts an exorcism online for millions of viewers to see. Despite countless ‘effective’ exorcisms, numbers are however dwindling, with a toxic community more interested in the ‘hot priest’ or offering degenerate comments of what they’d like the demons to do to their possessed hosts, […]

‘The Advent Calendar’ is an effective Christmas chiller, offering intrigue and some genuine chills as its unorthodox mystery unfolds. After receiving a creepy advent calendar as a gift from a friend, a wheelchair bound young lady faces a 24 days long series of moral dilemmas as she must make choices, some of which offer her […]

If the name isn’t odd enough for you, this films production and presentation will certainly seal the deal. ‘Skinamarink’ is an experimental horror movie by Kyle Edward Ball which sees two young children trapped alone in a house, tormented by a demonic voice, searching for their missing father. The house itself is ever changing, with […]
