Film Review: Miss Meadows (2014)

By Keri O’Shea Well, here’s the thing: although she seems to spend the majority of her time being trailed by the paparazzi while she does mundane things like walking and shopping, apparently Katie Holmes (yes, her) is an actress. Who knew? Well, you probably all knew, and yeah, okay, I knew too – but (whispers) […]

DVD Review – The Dead 2: India (2013)

By Keri O’Shea The zombie, one of our most well-worn movie monsters, shows no sign of letting up, and even though zombies have made it into the mainstream, they remain a temptation to indie filmmakers keen to exploit the relatively easy-to-create hordes that bring the horror. All the same, I really wouldn’t want to make […]

Comic Review: Negative Space #1

By Svetlana Fedotov You ever feel like someone is out to get you? Like someone or something is purposely hounding you, intent on making every day of your life just a tiny bit more miserable than the last? If so, then you’re either batshit insane or completely on point, and luckily (or unluckily) for the […]

Blu-ray Review: Contamination (1980)

Given that Italian exploitation cinema of the 70s and 80s is among the oddest in the world, it seems quite the feat to find an Italian movie of that era which is a bit odd even by the nation’s standards. The principle claim to fame of Luigi Cozzi’s Contamination in the UK is the fact […]

DVD Review: Digging Up The Marrow (2014)

By Ben Bussey I realise it’s bad form to start off a review with a stab at someone else’s, however… as well acquainted as we are with absurd, over-enthusiastic DVD cover quotes which invariably promise far more than the film itself ultimately has to offer, the choice of cover quote for Adam Green’s latest movie […]

DVD Review: Shark Killer (2015)

It’s no surprise when a low-budget straight to DVD shark movie turns out to be complete and utter garbage, but there’s a particularly bitter sting in the case of Shark Killer. Contrary to the utterly generic ominous fin cover art chosen by distributor Image Entertainment, this was a movie that, on a conceptual level at […]

Blu-ray Review: Hawk the Slayer (1980)

British contributions to the sword and sorcery genre are surprisingly few and far between. The Americans and Italians churned them out like butter, but the UK was a rather less active participant. It’s not too hard to see why; the genre came to prominence after John Milius struck gold (or perhaps ‘forged steel’ would be […]

Blu-Ray Review: The Avengers, Series 5 (1966-1967)

Opening disclaimer: at the time of writing I’ve yet to get through the entire seven disc Blu-ray set that Studiocanal have lovingly put together for Series 5 of TV classic The Avengers (in the wake of series 4 enjoying similar treatment earlier this year). However, I just had to bring this review forward a little, […]

Review: Vendetta (2015)

By Jamie Brownlie Writing for this site is seriously starting to make me wonder if I actually like movies or if I just like the idea of movies. This is the fourth review I’ve written for BAH and I’ve yet to see a movie that I truly love. I love movies, I think. I think […]

DVD Review: Out of the Dark (2014)

By Ben Bussey It’s curious how I find myself teeming with respect and admiration for Guillermo del Toro, yet seem to have very little of those sentiments for the bulk of the Hispanic horror filmmakers crossing over to English language work in his wake. Promoted heavily on its links to del Toro’s output (specifically producer Belén Atienza, […]
