Review – Chained
By Lisa FremontThe talented Jennifer Lynch has brought us a few of the most delectable, little morsels of film. I still clearly remember how I felt the first time that I saw Boxing Helena. It is such a beautiful, yet twisted, kind of love story and, bonus, it was during Julian Sands and Sherilyn Fenn's... Continue Reading →

Review – Wolf Creek 2
by Ryan Morrissey-SmithSequels are a tricky business, more so for horror films. The desire to create the same atmosphere that made the first film resonate with audiences would be a difficult task and besides that who wants to recover old ground? ...With Wolf Creek 2 director Greg McLean must’ve thought this was the case as...

Stoker – A Review by Lisa
Stoker is one of those films that seems to divide people on what genre it belongs in and whether or not it's a truly good film. Some call it horror, while others call it a mystery/thriller. I find it to be a really wonderful throwback to the time when Alfred Hitchcock knew how to keep... Continue Reading →
Byzantium – Review by Lisa
Director Neil Jordan returns to the vampire genre with a little gem titled "Byzantium".***The story of Clara (Gemma Arterton) and Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) it's a gorgeous, dreamy fairy tale. Leaning more towards the Grimm fairy tales, this is the story of two female vampires on the run from a mysterious group of men. As the... Continue Reading →
Big Ass Spider Review
Let me start by saying that I have a pathological fear of spiders and watching Big Ass Spider did nothing at all to ease that fear. Every slight itch or breeze of air had me scrambling to make sure it wasn't a spider crawling on me, big ass or otherwise...that being said Big Ass Spider... Continue Reading →

The Burning – Review by Ryan
The Burning should probably be classed in the second level of killing-kids-on-camp films but only just behind Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp. If it had been actually scary at all and if not for few odd directions in the film it could have been a classic. The plot is very familiar – After a... Continue Reading →
ATM – Review by @TheTalkingCan
When I first heard about ATM, I’ll admit that I was intrigued, partly because of the familiarity of the cast, but mostly, I wanted to know how someone could keep three people inside a glass room, by just standing there. Obviously, it could turn out horribly bad, but the fact that Peck, Geraghty, and Eve... Continue Reading →

Haddonfield’s X-Rated Xmas – Silent Night (2012) Review
Since the early-noughties it seems we've been subjected to a rolling, never-ending, steamroller of horror remakes, the tenacity of which the Russian army would be in admiration of (thank you for saving everyone in World War 2). Starting with films that are considered absolute classics of cinema like The Omen and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... Continue Reading →
Haddonfield’s X-Rated Xmas – A Cadaver Christmas
Well, kids, A Cadaver Christmas is pretty much what it sounds like. A low budget, poorly acted black comedy about cadavers coming to life. No, they are not zombies. They are cadavers. A cray-cray professor working in the cadaver lab at the University has been doing some off the books work and now a parasite... Continue Reading →

Haddonfield’s X-Rated Xmas – Black Christmas (2006)
Why director Glen Morgan felt compelled to remake the classic film "Black Christmas" is beyond me, but he did partner with the original movie's screenwriter, Roy Moore, and the result is pretty good. Many regard the 1974 film as the very first slasher film and with good reason; it still stands up as a really... Continue Reading →
