It's brutal, cruel film making. It's also a well-made and well-acted film, so if you've got the emotional fortitude, The Coffee Table is waiting for you.
REVIEW: THE COFFEE TABLE (LA MESITA DEL COMEDOR)
THE OVERLOOK FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW: DEAD MAIL
Dead Mail succeeds on all fronts. An unpredictable low-fi thriller, a rumination on what being lonely and isolated means to different people, whilst still manging to slowly and methodically crank up the tension and dread to deliver a fantastic noir-horror film...
REVIEW: BAGHEAD
Overall, Baghead is a truly serviceable horror film that fills all of the requirements...
REVIEW: RIDE BABY RIDE (SHORT FILM)
Horror, as it always has been, is a conduit to call out the things that are wrong with society, and Ride Baby Ride continues that tradition...
REVIEW: NIGHT SHIFT
The writers and directors, The China Brothers (Paul and Ben), know their stuff and have put together a very entertaining 80-minute thriller.
BROOKLYN HORROR FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW: MEGALOMANIAC
Megalomaniac is as visually stunning as it is depressing and brutal...
REVIEW: CAMP PLEASANT LAKE
With a title like Camp Pleasant Lake, you know what you're getting in terms of a horror film. A film that puts you squarely in the territory of Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning et al albeit with a twist...
REVIEW: STOPMOTION
This easily could have been a paint by numbers 'creative person goes insane' film by it is lifted by Morgan's direction and by Franciosi's powerful performance.
REVIEW: LISA FRANKENSTEIN
Williams does a solid job of keeping this generic teen romcom on track and the cast seems to be having a blast reliving the 80’s in all of its pastel glory...
REVIEW: THE SEEDING
The Seeding deals more with the psychological horror than just a straight-lined plot.
REVIEW: BODY COUNT
Anthology horror Body Count is an unashamedly low budget, independent with everyone involved committing 100% to the film from start to finish...
REVIEW: THE HUMAN TRAP
The tread on the tyres of camping-based slasher films have definitely disappeared and at this stage, we're riding almost on the rims. Korean shocker The Human Trap (The Trap) does try some new tricks, but does it overcome the trope?
REVIEW: EVERYONE WILL BURN
Everyone Will Burn is a fun and enjoyable thriller that plays with the tropes and keeps being creative...
REVIEW: VISITORS
Visitors is an extraordinarily gory and goofy film with a blood red streak of humour.
REVIEW: THANKSGIVING
Sixteen years in the making, Thanksgiving proves to be worth the wait and is a welcome return to form for Eli Roth.
REVIEW: PIG KILLER
A grimey, bloody look into insanity that you'd never want to be a part of.
REVIEW: IT’S A WONDERFUL KNIFE
Balancing winking moments of holiday goodness and comedy with an icy killer, It’s A Wonderful Knife is a solid entry into the Christmas horror genre, but I do wish it had as much heart as the classic film that it tries to honor.
REVIEW: SUITABLE FLESH
Suitable Flesh is Joe Lynch's tribute to Stuart Gordon, and it's a film that easily establishes itself in that delightfully bonkers 1980's and 1990's Lovecraft imbued bubble that Gordon had created in his films.
REVIEW: WHEN EVIL LURKS
When Evil Lurks is an unapologetic possession film that gives zero fucks about polite society and storytelling limitations and it’s all the better.
REVIEW: THE PUPPETMAN
The Puppetman has the story, the aesthetics and the actors committed to their roles, but, ultimately, it falls flat and is just this side of chilling...
