The influence of Stephen King looms large over Jakob's Wife but this in no way does the film a disservice. It's not a copy but something all it's own - and it's really bloody good.
Review: Jakob’s Wife (2021)
REVIEW: GODZILLA Vs. KONG (2021)
Godzilla Vs. Kong is what it promises. Two of the most loved big monsters up against each other and you'll immediately know if this film is for you from the title. A film that has a big imagination and bigger monsters.
Review: Slaxx (2021)
A ridiculous premise, grounded by serious issues and anchored by three great performances.
Review: Dementer (2021)
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: 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.
Three Miles – Interview
Check out the interview with the writer and the director of Three Miles.
Review: What Lies Below (2020)
Hot boyfriends and Lovecraftian horror ...
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.
Review: Possessor (2020)
With Brandon Cronenberg's second feature, it is very clear that body and tech predilections apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Nightstream Review: The Returned
The Returned, ruminates on the treatment of indigenous people, grief, colonialism and even the Patriarchy...
Film Review: Random Acts Of Violence (2020)
Slasher fans should eat this up...
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
A recently and oft heard complaint is that the zombie genre is played out. The people that say this will be made to eat those words with Blood Quantum
