Andor Season 2 (2025) Round-up: Star Wars’ hard-to-swallow epic is just what fans needed

CONTAINS SPOILERS For once in their lives, Star Wars fans have a right to be upset. By the time any franchise devotees reach the end of Tony Gilroy’s ground-level Rebellion drama Andor, there’s a strong possibility they’ll feel more ashen than when they saw Princess Leia Mary Poppins herself back to safety in The […]

The Creep Tapes (2024) Peachfuzz is Back and Scarier than Ever

In 2014 we were introduced to the weird and wonderful world of Josef/Aaron/we never really know his real name, a serial killer who loves collecting video evidence of his kills and the lead-up to their untimely death. Since then we have had an equally weird and wonderful sequel but fans […]

Tales from the Void (2024) Carefully Curated Horror Anthology based on R/NoSleep

In the late 2000s a whole eco-system was being born from the depths of the controversial forum 4Chan that would create a digital cavern for internet horror legends. The first Creepypasta to emerge from there spread like wildfire, and soon enough dedicated websites to these frightening tales were born. These […]

The Sympathizer (2024) Drama with a sharp, piercing gaze and political purpose (Preview)

Blake Simons 24/05/2024
The Sympathizer (2024) Drama with a sharp, piercing gaze and political purpose (Preview)

‘Start at the cinema’, commands our protagonist’s interrogator at the open of The Sympathizer, the new HBO miniseries from Park Chan-wook. It’s a statement of intent. When literature is adapted to screen, there’s a tendency for that origin to be overly reflected in the form. For intertitles, verbosity, and establishing […]

Slasher: Ripper (Complete: Season 5)(Review)

This fifth instalment of (now) AMC/Shudder’s horror anthology, Slasher, comes to a close, and with all the lavish splendour that this season has presented, can it maintain it’s early promise and deliver a conclusion that will set it as the best entry in the franchise to date? More on that […]

Episode 1 – The Slaughterhouse & Episode 2 – The Painful Truth Comparisons to Fox’s American Horror Story are inevitable for Shudder/AMC’s Horror seasonal anthology series, Slasher. Each season presenting a new story and setting, and just like it’s contemporary, it brings with it a multitude of returning actors in different […]

The Owl Service (1969) Unsettling atmosphere, and echoes of folklore in this iconic 60s TV Show (TV Review)

The Owl Service (1969) Unsettling atmosphere, and echoes of folklore in this iconic 60s TV Show (TV Review)

The Owl Service is a notable curio in the history of British genre television. Originally broadcast on Sunday afternoons in 1969, the eight episodes of this adaptation of Alan Garner’s 1967 novel is ostensibly a children’s show in the vein of Swallows and Amazons, a 1967 adaptation of The Lion, […]

Tales of Unease (1970): paperback horror brought to life in an unjustly forgotten series (Review)

Tales of Unease (1970): paperback horror brought to life in an unjustly forgotten series (Review)

Let’s address that title first. As far as horror anthologies go, 1970’s LWT miniseries Tales of Unease might be guilty of under-promising; not Tales of Terror, or Tales of Slaughter, just something to make you a bit uneasy. Two years earlier, BBC Two had given us Late Night Horror, a […]

Come Back Lucy (1978) British Kid’s Horror runs rings around its modern equivalents (DVD Review)

Timeshifts and tantrums in this kids horror throwback from the late 1970s. Adapted from Pamela Sykes’s novel of the same name, this 1978 TV series delivers nostalgia by the bucketload along with high-maintenance little girl ghosts and all the modern music of the late nineteen seventies! Groovy! The titular Lucy […]
