Bad Candy (2021): and the curse of Halloween Horror Movies (DVD Review)

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 […]

Paranormal Activity (2007) all these years later, still the best of the bunch (Review)

A full 8 years after the found footage sleeper hit The Blair Witch Project made camcorder footage terrifying, in 2007 director Oren Peli released Paranormal Activity on a (somewhat) unsuspecting cinema audience. Spawning a string of sequels which arguably rivals the Blumhouse MCU of horror, does this Second Sight re-release […]
