Editor’s note: please be aware that this special feature discusses Sinners and Beloved in detail, so be mindful of potential spoilers. Perhaps, on first pass, it might not feel like the most obvious move to write about both Ryan Cooglan’s smash hit horror Sinners and the more oblique, though no less devastating horrors of Toni […]
By guest contributor Adam Page Let’s talk about dread. That particular kind which doesn’t make a fuss slamming doors or leaping out from closets. This one seeps. A feeling you get rereading the fine print on a contract you’ve already signed. That sense, creeping up your spine at 2am when you realise the map you’re […]
By guest contributor Adam Page There is a very particular type of genius which gets buried alive by success, and Christopher Lee probably knew this better than most. For decades, if we thought of Christopher Lee, we thought of a cape, a set of fangs, and two puncture wounds on a trembling ingenue’s neck. Dracula. […]
By guest contributor Adam Page There is a certain kind of dread, and it’s one that has nothing to do with jump scares or monsters or chainsaws. It doesn’t announce itself; it quietly seeps in, until suddenly things are very wrong. Roger Corman knew this in 1963, probably by accident, the way most great things […]
Hard as it is to believe, today marks ten whole years since the very first post from Warped Perspective! By anyone’s reckoning, that’s a good stint: Warped Perspective was also a relaunch, following the closure of the earlier, US-based Brutal as Hell (which was founded by Marc Patterson back in 2009). So that’s a decade […]
By guest contributor Chris Ward So here we have two parts of a trilogy originally released during the past three-or-four years getting a boutique 4K UHD re-release by Second Sight Films, and why not, because Second Sight have also put out the bulk of the director’s back-catalogue in a similarly lavish fashion over the past […]
Freddy (Thom Mathews) is a new employee at the Uneeda Medical Supply Warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky. Supervisor Frank (James Karen) attempts to give this thoroughly unglamourous form of employment some umph by taking Freddy to the basement, where drums of a toxic gas called 2-4-5 Trioxin have been stashed by the military. Frank accidentally breaks […]
Rob Zombie’s very first foray into cinema is, and was, everything you’d expect a Rob Zombie feature to be. House of 1000 Corpses (2003) is somewhere between an homage to the weirdest low-budget horror of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties that Zombie clearly loves, and a Rob Zombie promo video – heavy on the aesthetics […]
To mark the recent Shameless Films release of Four Flies on Grey Velvet, we’re running a special feature on the film – which contains spoilers. Please watch before you read! Roberto (Michael Brandon) is a young musician; things should be good, but he’s… nervous. As he has been moving around in the city lately, he […]
Another year, another bunch of comments about how this year’s been a terrible one for decent horror titles. To be fair, the quantity of those comments appears to be substantially smaller than the pile of posts which bemoaned 2023’s genre output. Narrowing the field down to ten proved, as ever, exceptionally difficult because there’s been […]
Everyone likes a bit of data and, as a change, I thought it would be interesting to check in with the most popular posts on the site this year. It’s often interesting to keep half an eye on this – not least because, on occasion, it can be quite surprising – but I’ve not been […]
