Review: Paranormal Activity
With the imminent release of Second Sight’s special edition of ‘Paranormal Activity’ I thought it time to re visit the film which effectively brought the Blair Witch home. I will Continue Reading
Review: Wired Shut
Wired shut, the debut film of writer/director Alexander Sharp is a slow burn thriller which has, for both the good and the bad, got ‘indie’ written all over it – Continue Reading

- Enjoying something of a resurgence of late, within this Spooktacular category you will find all manner of films providing jumps and jolts from those entities who linger beyond the grave. Consider your spine well and truly tingled.
- Monsters and mayhem! Vampires, Werewolves - anything with teeth, claws, scales or fur. If it kills, you will find it here.

- “WHEN THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH" - from Romero and Fulci to modern classics, we got you covered. Better check your brain out before viewing though...
