Book Review: Dead Leaves by Andrew David Barker

By Ben Bussey The passions that capture us in our youth invariably impact the person we grow to be in adulthood. This almost always seems to be true of horror fans: those who come to be lifelong devotees very often first develop that affinity for the genre whilst young (as we explored early this year […]

Celluloid Screams 2015 Review: The Witch (2015)

By Ben Bussey Expectations are a tricky beast indeed. As I remarked in my earlier Celluloid Screams 2015 review of the wonderful He Never Died, very often the joy of the festival experience is going in with little to no prior knowledge or expectation and encountering something brilliant, and knowing you’re among the first to […]

Trick or Treat: All Hallow’s Eve 2 (2015)

By Quin Exactly the way I discovered All Hallow’s Eve in 2013, the sequel All Hallow’s Eve 2 appeared on the iTunes horror page just like the unmarked video tapes find their way to unsuspecting viewers in the two films; I seriously hope this is going to become a regular thing. The list of sequels […]

Celluloid Screams 2015 Review: He Never Died (2015)

By Ben Bussey Perhaps the greatest pleasure of the film festival experience is sitting down to watch a movie of which you have little to no advance knowledge, and wind up being taken totally unawares. Going into Sheffield’s Showroom Cinema for the Celluloid Screams screening of He Never Died, I basically knew nothing other than […]

Toronto After Dark Review: The Interior (2015)

By Keri O’Shea The first thing we find out about James (Patrick McFadden) is that he’s a guy who wears a cheap work suit like it’s doing horrible violence to him. He’s stressed, miserable, and what’s more, he’s not in good health either: suffering from double vision, numbness in his hands, and other symptoms which […]

Review: Night of the Living Deb (2015)

Review by Quin There is certainly no shortage of film titles consisting of puns. These films tend to either be porn films or comedies; but more accurately, parodies. Edward Penis Hands. Shaun of the Dead. Womb Raider. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. You get the idea. Well, now you can add Night of the […]

Review: Some Kind of Hate (2015)

By Ben Bussey My fellow horror fans, we have a firm contender for the best worst film of 2015. Just in case we need to make the distinction, I don’t mean to say Some Kind of Hate is a flat-out bad movie; those are the ones that tend to just leave you utterly cold and […]
