Review: Arcadian

‘Arcadian’ is a dystopian monster movie that packs an impressive amount into its lean runtime, leaning on strong performances to compliment some unique creature design, culminating in a coming-of-age drama with bite. The film opens at the end of the world. A weary Nicholas Cage makes his way along a ruined fortified wall, above it […]

Review: Young Frankenstein

Mel Brook’s classic spoof of an equally classic horror, allows a rough rehash of the story with almost each and every iconic scene ‘re-imagined’ through Brook’s comedic lens. If the original movie wasn’t already pretty goofy, re-watching it following ‘Young Frankenstein’ certainly hasn’t helped it seem any less. Set in the 1960s, the story opens […]

Review: Crawl

With ‘Crawl’ Aja does for basements and alligators, what Niel Marshall did for the sub-terrain and cave creatures.

Discovered then by mad-scientist […]

Review: Boar

Boar, AKA giant CGI pig vs. giant (non-digital) Nathan Jones, is a creature feature from down under which pitches the residents of a small town against the titular Boar. Far from Boar-ing (last time I promise), this film manages to cram likable characters, awesome natural backdrops and some brutal kill scenes into a somewhat surprising […]

Review: Elves

Continuing the themes of festive frighteners killer Elves join the roster of Christmas killer critters, well at least possessed human versions of such. The plot of Elves follows a group of friends who end up in an odd and ill-fated game which involves the bane of children everywhere – the Naughty list. In a somewhat […]
