Review: The Vigil
Tense and confident, the Jewish themed chiller ‘The Vigil’ delivers some meticulously crafted scares within its interesting, yet slightly underdeveloped story. The films setup is so simple, but man is Continue Reading
Review: Host
Finally, a ‘found footage’ style film which delivers against its hype; and one I encourage you to make an effort to see. Set (and filmed I believe) in the recent Continue Reading
Review: Woman in Black 2
A gorgeous looking sequel to the 2012 film, with an authentic story also written by Susan Hill, the author of the original novel ‘The Woman in Black’. For those not Continue Reading
Review: Countdown
In the mood for an early 2000s teen supernatural slasher (think ‘Final Destination’ et al) then ‘Countdown’ is far from a bad choice. I will accept that turn-of-the-century horror isn’t Continue Reading
