Review by Dustin Hall Another day gone by, and once again, the God-made-mortal-flesh, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the greatest onscreen presence EVER has once again graced us with another film. The verdict: you probably won’t like it. That said, Maggie isn’t a bad film. It just really isn’t the horror film it was branded as. Instead viewers […]
By Ben Bussey The jumping-off point for the diatribe to follow is also perhaps one of the most commonly-voiced sentiments of our time: I read something yesterday on Facebook which upset me a bit. Chris Alexander of Fangoria – the publication without which I think it’s fair to say the vast majority of us in […]
Review by Dustin Hall This is a few weeks late. Sad but true, no one on the BAH staff really wanted to use their time to watch this one. Someone, though, had to take one for the team, and it was me. After being held back for nearly five years, like a school year bully, […]
By Keri O’Shea (Editor’s note: for the first part of Keri’s kvetching, please click here.) Right, where was I? I’d finished talking about the hideously wronged catwalk models who can thenceforth magically bend girders and all the Keepers of Knowledge who fall out of (or leap from) high buildings, or otherwise race to their deaths […]
Review by Quin If the 1973 film Ganja and Hess was ever going to be remade, Spike Lee was definitely the one who had to do it. In fact, he even used Kickstarter to fund the film. I know that Brutal as Hell’s Ben has reiterated time and again how the age of Kickstarter feels […]
2013 microbudget horror The Hospital somehow went totally under the radar for us at BAH, aside from the minor controversy it attracted some time after its UK DVD release when a Tesco store in Gloucester withdrew all copies of the film following a customer complaint (yes, just one) that it was too graphic. Unsurprisingly, this […]
By Tristan Bishop About fifteen minutes ago I learned of the passing of Richard Johnson at age 87. Johnson was familiar to fans of horror from his roles as Dr Menard in Lucio Fulci’s Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) and as Dr Markway in Robert Wise’s version of The Haunting (1963), but his career was far […]
By Keri O’Shea It probably goes with out saying (but then, so do a lot of things and it doesn’t seem to stop anyone) – we watch a hell of a lot of horror here at the site. A hell of a lot. Screeners, shorts, trailers, festival releases, mainstream releases, Netflix et al…the list goes […]
Review by Ben Bussey Ugh. You hear there’s a Serbian creature feature about deadly sirens luring pretty young party people to their deaths on a sunkissed island, and the first impulse is to expect something fun. No, it doesn’t sound like an Oscar-winner, but it does sound like the makings of a good night in […]
By Svetlana Fedotov What would you do if there was rock the size of Baltimore hurtling towards Earth with the ill-intent to destroy everything in its path? Well, if you are one of the citizens of the Broken World universe, you better figure it out quick because in 48 hours, there won’t be any decisions […]
By Ben Bussey One of the ways the current wave of anthology horror stands apart from previous generations is its tendency to employ multiple directors. While there were certainly existing examples of anthology movie which saw different filmmakers helm different chapters (The Twilight Zone movie comes to mind), this was by no means the norm, […]
