Stars: Gabby Beans, Cody Braverman, Emily Davis, Ray Anthony Thomas, Myles Walker | Written and Directed by Andy Mitton I think (my memory is generally terrible) The Harbinger is the first film I have seen where the pandemic has played a big and important part in the story. In the movie, Monique is currently quarantining […]
Fantasia International Film Festival is my absolute favourite film festival each and every year. It not only has the best movies based on quality but it has such a fantastic mix of genres and brilliant originality from the filmmakers that is unlike any other film festival. From big Hollywood movies to debut low-budget affairs and […]
Stars: David Earl, Chris Hayward, Louise Brealey, Jamie Michie, Nina Sosanya, Lynn Hunter, Lowri Izzard, Mari Izzard, Cara Chase, Sunil Patel, Rishi Nair, Colin Bennett | Written by David Earl, Chris Hayward | Directed by Jim Archer After seeing him perform in a variety of Ricky Gervais’s films and shows and have become more and […]
Stars: Alice Krige, Malcolm McDowell, Rupert Everett, Kota Eberhardt, Amy Manson, Olwen Fouere, Daniel Lapaine, John McCrea, Jonathan Aris, Kenneth Collard, Joanna Bacon | Written by Charlotte Colbert, Kitty Percy | Directed by Charlotte Colbert As much as I love the blood and guts of gory horror, the laughs of comedy horror or the big-budgeted […]
Stars: Noah Paul, Kylah Carree, Rick Didham, Thomas MacKinnon, Craig Hubert, Kevin Powe, Erica Kroger, Aaron Catano-Saez, Dave Luukkonen | Written and Directed by Svyatoslav Nikitin The Peacemakers is a slightly unusual low-budget sci-fi movie for a lot of reasons. One of the main reasons is that it’s pretty damn good and full of ideas, […]
Stars: Denise Gough, Sienna Sayer, Kiera Thompson | Written and Directed by Ruth Platt Several years ago I took a gamble at Frightfest and booked a ticket for a movie in a small screen at maybe ten or eleven in the morning (the first film of the day). It was a low budget British horror […]
Produced by Heather Moser | Directed by Seth Breedlove I love documentaries. I will happily watch them on any subject and when made well, I’ll always enjoy them. The horror genre brings up lots of subjects that you wouldn’t think could be made into a documentary. But you’d be wrong. A film on real-life ghosts […]
Stars: Niamh Walter, Nyobi Hendry, Rebecca Palmer, Zaqi Ismail, Fiona Gillies, Helen Masters, Joe Welch | Written by Isobel Boyce | Directed by Alice Millar Described as a psychological thriller, Summer in the Shade tells the tale of a young girl at the time she is transitioning from child to woman and the difficulties she […]

Stars: Andrea Granera, Deepti Menon, Josh Cox, Mateo Correa, Milly Miles | Written and Directed by Josh Cox I think it might be harder to make, and get positive reviews, for a short film that isn’t action-packed. It must be a temptation for directors of shorts to fill their time (twenty minutes with Summer After) […]
Stars: Rakel Lenora Flottum, Alva Brynsmo Ramstad, Sam Ashraf, Mina Yasmin Bremseth Asheim, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Morten Svartveit, Kadra Yusuf, Lisa Tonne | Written and Directed by Eskil Vogt Director Eskil Vogt is having quite the year. Releasing two movies that have received plaudits by pretty much everyone that has seen them. The first, The […]
The 22nd annual Sci-Fi London Film Festival will run from 19-22 May this year. Four days of films with three World premières and three UK premières! Opening the festival is The Innocents from director Eskil Vogt. Vogt previously directed Blind and The Worst Person in the World and his new film has already received nothing […]
Stars: Regina, Tzu-Chiang Wang, Berant Zhu | Written and Directed by Rob Jabbaz I watched The Sadness knowing that it already had quite the reputation. I’d read parts of reviews that had spoken about the misery, the horrific and sadistic scenes, the over-the-top violence and depravity and much much more. As a long time and […]
Stars: Manon Pages, Kenny Bellau, Sophia Brazda, Paul Dale, Charles Early, Austin Frosch, Austin Naulty, Sean Phelan, Carter Simoneaux | Written and Directed by Paul Dale It’s probably not a good thing but any ridiculously titled film will not only get my attention but also get me watching the film. It’s why I end up […]

Stars: Phoenix Cross, Linnea Quigley, Donna Wilkes, Benjamin Hudson, Zoë Helen Boyle, Ashton Brown | Written and Directed by Martin Renner There’s not a horror fan out there that doesn’t like slasher movies. It all started with Black Christmas in 1974 (yeah I know, you could argue a few came before it) and then the […]
Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Syberia, Clock Tower. All classic games. All classic point and click adventure video games. But I haven’t played any of them and I’ve been playing video games for a very long time. I’m trying to think as I write this but it’s been at least thirty years. And in […]
Stars: Anna Cobb, Holly Anne Frink, Michael J Rogers | Written and Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Long titles seem to be a bit of a trend when it comes to both books and film. Even more so in the genre. But I can see why because they always gain my interest and We’re All Going […]
Stars: Valeria San Martin, Agustin Olcese, Marlene Pedersen Chauviere, Bruno Giacobbe, Agustin Bogliano, Marcos Bogliano, Martín Canalicchio, Ines Corengia, Pablo Vilela | Written by Ariel Luque, Daniel J. Phillips Directed by Chris Beyrooty, Dean Law, Ariel Luque, Jiwon Moon, Daniel J. Phillips, Dean Puckett, Nicolás Onetti I seem like I say it quite regularly but […]
