Review by Stephanie Scaife So, The Raid 2 is finally here and Gareth Evans, the unsuspecting Welshman has yet again delivered one of the very best hyper-violent martial arts movies that you’re ever likely to see. First things first; if you were not a fan of The Raid then there is nothing for you here… […]
By Svetlana Fedotov Over the past few years, the name Loki has stayed more times on comic geeks’ lips than the previous several decades combined. Thanks to Marvel’s huge success with the Thor and Avengers franchises, the God of Mischief has found himself basking in the spotlight (with no small contribution by the devilishly handsome […]
Review by Quin Contracted is an amazing film. I have rarely ever been at a loss for words, but it took me over a week after I watched this to start writing down my thoughts. In that time I actually watched it a second time, which is something I never do. There is already a […]
By Ben Bussey See that dazed, weary, numb-with-disbelief look on the faces of those two fine-looking gentlemen in the picture above? How many of us are wearing an almost-identical expression on realising that Shaun of the Dead was released on this date TEN WHOLE YEARS AGO? Okay, let me follow up that question with another […]
Review by Tristan Bishop I was quite excited when Revenge For Jolly first popped onto my radar. Firstly the title caught my eye – not a great, snappy, evocative title by any means, but quirky enough to have my attention and make me ponder as to the nature of the film. Turns out it’s being […]
By Svetlana Fedotov Nothing gets the blood rolling like a solid noir tale. Dark streets boiling with danger, fast-talking swindlers, and the ever present lady in red have flared the imagination of many an author. Now throw some ghosts and monsters into the mix and you’ve got yourself a genre that practically writes itself. After […]
By Keri O’Shea It’s strange to think that, for many people who may be reading the likes of this site today, there has never been an alternative to the internet as a chief means of exposure to all that’s weird and wonderful in the world of cult cinema, or indeed outsider literature, art or music.

By Ben Bussey It might seem like no-budget straight-to-DVD indie horror movies are ten a penny around these parts, and that’s probably true. But it’s no exaggeration when I say that – for your esteemed UK editor, at least – MurderDrome has been one of the most eagerly anticipated new releases of the last two […]
Review by Ben Bussey Regular BAH readers may have seen a recent review of mine descend into a frothing-at-the-mouth rant about the most frustratingly common mistakes made by no-budget indie horror movies. After that, there was nothing I needed more than some firm reassurance that, now and then, indie horror can still do precisely the opposite; […]
By Ben Bussey Enough is enough. I like to think of myself as a fairly easy-going kind of fellow who doesn’t believe we all need to follow stringent rules, least of all where the creative arts are concerned – but the time has come. We need change. We need a strict framework for indie horror […]
By Svetlana Fedotov A quick note before I delve into the sordid history of Chaos! Comics. If you’ve been a fan of Brutal as Hell’s comic coverage, you probably noticed that the usual author Comix has now been replaced by the hard-to-pronounce writer, Svetlana Fedotov. Well fear not, gentle reader, for it is I, Comix, […]
