Review: Black Box
As far as dumb horror film plots go, this ones a doozy, my god! (spoilers) Admittedly, the genre as whole isn’t renowned for highbrow, deep thinking concepts, but still, ‘Black Continue Reading
Review: Mara
Easy to watch, but ultimately lacking, ‘Mara’ is an odd example of a film whose final product is somewhat less than the sum of the parts! Allow me to explain. Continue Reading
Review: Midsommar

Review: Leprechaun Returns
Ireland’s most prolific serial-quipper is back! Seemingly ignoring the ‘lep’s’ subsequent adventures (I mean he went to space in one of them – where do you go from there? ‘back Continue Reading
Review: Shrooms
Lacking in identity, clear direction, and effective scares/gore ‘Shrooms’ is by far the lesser of Paddy Breathnach’s two slasher entries unleashed last decade. ‘Shrooms’, a confusing hodgepodge of obvious influences Continue Reading
