DotCom for Murder (2002) Dial M for Mastorakis (Review)

The advent of the internet, as with all great advancements in communication technology, brought with it myriad new ways for nefarious individuals to find and lure in their unsuspecting victims. Those of you who, like me, have grown up in the digital age will undoubtedly be all-too-familiar with how the […]

Skinamarink (2022) the Liminal Horror of 2023’s most divisive movie (Review)

As a child, were you ever afraid of going to the bathroom at night? If you were (or still are), there’s a good chance that you’ll relate to the sense of primal terror that drives Skinamarink. An overnight social-media sensation following its Fantasia Festival premiere (and subsequent online leaking), Skinamarink, […]

The Queen of Spades (1949) Faustian Vintage Supernatural horror with a Kick! (Review)

If wealth and power were on the cards, how much would you be willing to gamble for a chance to win them? According to Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, there are some people who would risk their very souls for it. Pushkin’s internationally-renowned 1834 work “The Queen of Spades”, the classic […]

The Dunwich Horror (1970) Lovecraft via 1960s New Age Hippie Psychadelia (Review)

Adapting the work of the world-famous horror author H.P. Lovecraft for the screen is a task which still seems to challenge filmmakers to this day. His tales of unreliable narrators coming face-to-tentacled-face with unimaginable eldritch horrors with nigh-unpronounceable names have struggled to make the transition from page to celluloid for […]

Nightmare at Noon (1988) Questionable character, dated, yet an amazing action spectacle (Review)

Nightmare at Noon is an all-guns-blazing action-horror spectacle that is so explosive, so gung-ho, and so deeply, proudly American that it could only have been made by a Greek man. Co-written and directed by genre veteran Nico Mastorakis, a man whose decades-spanning career has covered everything from action to slasher […]

Tangerine (2015) – a lovely LGBT-positive lo-fi Christmas romp (Blu-Ray Review)

With the festive season well underway, and Christmas itself rapidly approaching, I have no doubt that most people who celebrate will have already watched at least one classic holiday picture this month by the time this review is released. Of course, many viewers choose to deviate from the well-established Yuletide […]

The Cat and the Canary & The Ghost Breakers (1939/1940) (Blu-Ray Review)

The classic horror set-up of a group of strangers finding themselves stranded together on a dark and stormy night at a spooky gothic mansion is one as old as the genre itself. A staple of the stage and screen, the concept of the “old dark house” has endured for over […]

The Most Dangerous Game (1932) Ripe for critical re-evaluation… not to mention rediscovery and celebration (Blu-Ray Review)

As soon as the film’s lead, red-blooded American big-game hunter Bob Rainsford, confidently states that “the world’s divided into two kinds of people: the hunter and the hunted… I’m the hunter, nothing can change that”, you already know that he’s going to find himself on the other end of the […]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) The Original Universal Monster makes his UK debut (Blu-Ray Review)

It’s a strange, spellbinding experience to witness Lon Chaney’s titular disfigured bell-ringer appear on-screen for the first time, knowing in hindsight that this film, in many ways, was the beginning of blockbuster cinema as we know it today. The first adaptation of many of Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Wallace Worsley’s […]
