DVD Review: Worst Fears (2016)

By Ben Bussey It seems the grand old British tradition of cheap and nasty anthology horror is alive and well in the 21st century. We have of course seen our share of anthology horrors in recent years, the most prominent being the V/H/S and The ABCs of Death movies, but we haven’t seen much that really […]

Review: These Final Hours (2013)

By Tristan Bishop We’ve all, no doubt, seen enough of the post-apocalypse genre to last a lifetime, but what of the time leading up to the big event? Films dealing with the pre-apocalypse are few and far between, with only 1988’s excellent Miracle Mile and 1998’s Last Night sticking in the mind. These Final Hours, […]

Review: The Break-In (2016)

By Quin I have long had an optimistic view of the found footage sub-genre.

DVD Review: Craze (1974)

By Keri O’Shea Crazed acolytes!

Horror In Short: The Herd (2015)

By Nia Edwards-Behi I have no qualms in saying that Melanie Light is, to me, one of the most exciting people working in the British horror scene. Vastly experienced as a production designer and art director, Light has demonstrated with her short film work both dedication to the genre and growth in her own craft. […]

Horror in Short: End of the Road (2015)

By Keri O’Shea On her way to her shift at a dead-end diner populated by a host of lurid, colourful characters, waitress Betsy runs into a spot of trouble: a misunderstanding between her and a local homeless guy results in a nearby stranger feeling the need to rush to her aid – nearly getting himself […]
