Blu-Ray Review: Trancers (1985)

Review by Ben Bussey Whaddya know, another mid-80s title reborn in HD courtesy of 88 Films, and (not unlike The Toxic Avenger before it) it’s another of those kind of ‘where it all began’ movies.

Abertoir 2014 Theatre Review: The Temple

By Keri O’Shea The literary works of HP Lovecraft have long been a source of temptation for horror filmmakers keen to take on the challenge of rendering visible all of those unspeakable, unknowable and unnameable terrors.

The 20th anniversary of Interview with the Vampire

By Karolina Gruschka Every generation “embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the one it deserves.” As US scholar Nina Auerbach points out in the quote above, vampires often reflect certain aspects of culture and current society. This means the image of the vampire is an ever shifting one that adapts to the requirements of […]
