Evil Dead Burn
Since it was announced that Sebastien Vanicek was helming the next Evil Dead film, I’ve been hyped. The French director has only one credit to his name, 2024’s Infested, but what a debut it was. Gross, brutal, inventive, and slick as hell, it was a great job application for joining the Evil Dead franchise. Vanicek’s entry, the third without Bruce Campbell or Sam […]
Cold Storage
What if the greatest threat to mankind isn’t some soon-to-be-discovered lethal pathogen, but something already here, known, and soon-to-be unleashed? This is the set-up for Cold Storage Jonny Campbell’s sci-fi splatter film adapted from the novel by David Koepp, famed screenwriter of Jurrassic Park, Spider-Man, and Panic Room to name a few. Like Michael Crichton before him, Koepp imbibes his script with a touch of […]
Dark Harvest
Its criminal that David Slade’s creature feature Dark Harvest wasn’t a bigger deal this Halloween. Based on the lauded novel by Norman Partridge and delayed twice due to Covid 19 and studio reshuffles, the much-anticipated adaptation has just slid, rather unceremoniously, onto Amazon Prime. Every Halloween, in an isolated midwestern farm town, a monstrous entity […]

First Reformed

The Most Assassinated Woman in the World – EIFF 2018 Review
For horror enthusiasts, Franck Ribiere’s The Most Assassinated Woman in the World, a film centred around Paris’ infamously depraved Grand Guignol theatre, is an absolute treat. Part biopic, part period thriller,
Terminal – EIFF 2018 Review
Set in an unnamed futuristic city, Vaughn Stein’s debut feature Terminal is an eccentric but troubled neo-noir thriller. On paper the film sounds pretty intriguing: Margot Robbie as a dangerously ambitious assassin, Simon
Temple – DVD Review
There’s a lot of BS floating around just now regarding the writing credit on William Barrett’s directorial debut Temple. If you’re to believe the posters, Temple is the latest potentially lucrative film from the mind of Simon Barrett, writer behind The Guest, You’re Next, and last year’s surprise Blair Witch sequel.
Eat – DVD Review
Jimmy Weber clearly has a bone to pick, his directorial debut (also his debut writing credit) Eat is, on many counts, a fearless shameless venture, out to upset the unsuspecting viewer. For a horror fan, it’s a rare thing to find something that genuinely curls your toes, makes your eyes water, and has you shuddering […]
