DVD Review: Clinger (2014)

By Ben Bussey I owe Clinger a minor apology. I’d assumed, based on the synopsis and first trailer, that this was a zom-rom-com, when in truth it’s more of a ghost story. Even so, the ghosts involved here are able to take physical form, make physical contact, and even get physically intimate… indeed, a lot […]

Blu-ray Review: Five Dolls For An August Moon (1970)

By Nia Edwards-Behi Arrow Video treat us so well. Hot the heels of many other Bava releases, they now bring us their latest release: Five Dolls for an August Moon. This is giallo in Agatha Christie mode, less black-gloves and forgotten details, more rich people sitting around and getting murdered. Does the title have anything […]

DVD Review: You Are Not Alone (2014)

By Ben Bussey I’ve been mad at this film ever since I first saw the trailer for it last month. Initially, this was because every time I read the title I got that damn Michael Jackson song stuck in my head. But now that I’ve seen it, I’m mad because it’s yet another example of […]

Review: The Orange Man (2015)

By Karolina Gruschka The Orange Man is a wacky, trashy slasher comedy written, directed and produced by independent filmmaker Stephen Folker. Far from what the film title and Blu-ray cover might suggest, the orange man is not a murderous Jack’o Lantern or Killer Tomato kind of creature; what we are dealing with instead is a […]

Review: Septic Man (2013)

By Quin I first saw Septic Man sometime last year. It was available for a short time on one of the many movie streaming platforms, I don’t remember which one, but I got to watch it just for fun. I remember enjoying it, but I didn’t think much about it afterward. Then when it came […]

DVD Review: Lost After Dark (2014)

By Ben Bussey Oh dear, 2016 really isn’t off to the best start for me. Here we are almost one whole month into the year, I’m only my second new release review, and it’s another tedious, uninventive, unendearing, badly executed, been-there done-that, no-budget, would-be neo-retro slasher snoozefest. Well, okay, credit where it’s due, by comparison […]

DVD Review: Mark of the Witch (AKA Another, 2014)

By Tristan Bishop Ladies and gentlemen, it’s retitle time again! This one originally went by the name Another – in fact it played at Frightfest 2014 until that very title – but now it has resurfaced under the far more exploitable title of Mark Of The Witch (not to be confused with the 1970 witchcraft […]
