Dementer is unapologetically writer/director Chad Crawford Kinkle's film. Personal and with sharp focus, Kinkle brings straight in a head long mix of stark reality and horrifying manipulations.
Review: Dementer (2021)
Review: The Reckoning (2021)
It's 1655. A time of the plague, the time of hard line religion and the time of witch hunting. Neil Marshall explores this very dark time in history, not as an accurate snapshot of the times but as a backdrop to frame a story about misogyny in general life, its deep roots in religion and the sacrifices that women make to combat this.
Review: The Queen Of Black Magic (2020)
Ghosts and revenge are nothing new in horror but the combination of the two in The Queen Of Black Magic provides chills and heartbreak, all put together expertly with Joko Anwar's script and Kimo Stamboel's direction.
Review – PG: Psycho Goreman (2020)
Psycho Goreman takes place in a strange reality, a modern day society filtered through the lens of an 80's sitcom, inside a splatter film - and it's glorious.
Haddonfield Horror’s Best Of 2020
Whilst the best of 2020 seems like a really low bar and despite the complete and utter real life garbage that this year has continually given us, there were still bright spots in the horror genre and in truth it has been one of the better overall years for quality and consistency.
REVIEW: BODY MELT
You're only here for one thing, splatter. Whilst it takes a while to get to the body melting, the effects in this film are a gory, icky glory.

Review: Anything For Jackson (2020)
Grief does strange things to people. When you lose someone you love, what would you do to get them back? In the case of Audrey and Henry Walsh, you turn to satanic rituals to try and raise your grandson, Jackson, from the dead.

Fantasia 2020: Survival Skills
Playing as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival 2020, Survival Skills plays as an instructional workplace video mixed with the Sims and a kind of 80's TV perfect Americana (at least at a glance).
Fantasia 2020: Hail To The Deadites
Fandom. It can be toxic, it can be awful but it can also be a very real thing that links people.
Film Review: Sputnik (2020)
Sputnik could have easily gone the way of many a science fiction film with a similar premise. It could've gone for shock, blood and gore (not that this is bad thing in anyway) but Sputnik goes for a more cerebral approach to the material...
Film Review: Impetigore (2020)
Anwar has a way of getting under your skin. Whether it is ghostly flashes, visceral shocks or simply an open door looking into darkness, he finds a way into your psyche. Playing with shadows and light in a way that keeps you checking the dark corners of the screen for the next scare to come.
Review: Blood Quantum
