CONTAINS SPOILERS Mr Chibnall’s opus culminates as the Flux’s various plots end in a flurry of recycled ideas and unanswered questions. In an extra-long finale, did the Doctor uncover her past, or open a can of worms? Disparate plots are a running theme of this series, and the finale is […]

Doctor Who Flux – Survivors of the Flux (Episode 5)(Review)
Doctor Who Season 13: Flux – Survivors of the Flux CONTAINS SPOILERS Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice stamping our mark on a 58-year-old English science fiction show. But finally, there’s light at the end of the Flux tunnel as this episode manages where others […]
Doctor Who Flux – The Village of the Angels (Episode 4)(Review)
“The Village of the Angels”. Fan favourites the Weeping Angels return with a bang in this week’s episode and despite some inconsistencies, it’s an episode peppered with nostalgic scares and menace. CONTAINS SPOILERS This series is like a greatest hit’s tour of Doctor Who villains, a bumpy ghost train, with […]
Doctor Who Flux – Once Upon Time (Episode 3)(Review)
“Once Upon Time”. We’re a long way down the time vortex, and there is no place like home. Doctor Who goes into overdrive in a badly structured meander into madness. CONTAINS SPOILERS To start with, an apology for wrongly titling this week’s episode in last week’s review. Perhaps too entrenched […]
Doctor Who Flux – War of the Sontarans (Episode 2)(Review)
“War of the Sontarans”. Better, but still bonkers. It’s episode 2 of the latest Doctor Who series and I think my brain may be starting to adjust to the manic pacing and nonsensical scripting – I actually watched this episode without hanging out the washing (that’s what happens when you […]
Doctor Who: Flux – Halloween Apocalypse (Episode 1)(Review)
The start of the much-anticipated thirteenth series marks the beginning of the end for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor and showrunner Chris Chibnall, but will the number thirteen prove unlucky for the controversial combo? This episode, the first of six, leaves viewers wondering what the flux is going on? To try and […]
Bad Candy (2021): and the curse of Halloween Horror Movies (DVD Review)
Packed to the rafters with Halloween tropes, what this uneven anthology lacks in scares, it makes up for it in gore and pumpkins. Horror anthology TV series are all the rage at the moment, but apart from a few honourable mentions (the Tales from the Crypt series for retro fans, […]
Terrified (2017) Fantastically scary if hamstrung by poor worldbuilding (Review)
A neighbourhood going to hell, quite literally, proves surprisingly scary in the chilling Argentine horror. When considering your first step on the property ladder, how many people enquire as to whether the house is a conduit to another dimension full of lanky, naked demons and octopus armed hell beasts with […]
Belzebuth (2017) A possession movie with real bite and ambition (Review)
Lock up your son’s, here comes a possession movie with real bite and ambition. There’s something special about horror movies set in Latin America. Something about the mix of religious fervour and oppression, poverty, superstition and hot weather blend together so well to set the scene for pseudo-religious spooky going’s […]
Psycho Goreman (2021) Just shy of Potential New Gateway Horror Classic (Review)
Fun for all the family or out of control annoying pre-teen’s? There’s a psycho on the loose, alright, but is it the alien? Psycho Goreman (or ‘PG’ for short as we’re too often reminded) is the name of the evil, hulking, alien warlord, trapped in a hot pink jewel prison by Angelic-looking […]
