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
