Review by Stephanie Scaife Alfred Sole has in more recent years carved out a career for himself as a production designer on US television. Although having just four feature film credits to his name as a director (including hardcore porn and a bizarre slasher film about a mounty), he certainly made a mark with Alice, […]
Review by Comix When historians hundreds of years from now look back on the 20th century, they will say that it was one of the most pivotal times in civilization. In a hundred years, we have driven faster, flown higher, and connected to each other more intensely than ever thought possible. We have also committed […]
Review by Quin There’s a movie from 1977 called The Van. If you’re interested, it’s available on youtube in its entirety. It isn’t a horror movie. It’s just a silly movie about teenage guys cruising around in a van looking for chicks. It’s truly awful, but even under the cloud of 70s cheese, you know […]
Review by Ben Bussey There’s a great moment maybe twenty minutes into Hatchet 3. Paramedics have come to Victor Crowley’s swamp, done the obligatory gaping in shock and awe at the number of hideously mangled corpses here there and everywhere, and as clean-up operations commence, they bring Crowley’s ‘corpse’ onto their boat. At last! They’re […]
Review by Tristan Bishop You hear that sound? That’s the remake klaxon sounding. But no need to man the barricades and head for the hills just yet, as this isn’t (for once) a remake of a 70’s/80’s classic designed purely to cash in on a name – this is a remake of a recent foreign-language […]
Review by Nia Edwards-Behi Sometimes different things you love come together with a promise of something great. When I read the words ‘Tom Hiddleston’ and ‘vampires’ I very much knew that Only Lovers Left Alive was going to be *my* film. Throw in the names Jim Jarmusch, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, and heck even Mia […]
Review by Ben Bussey Alright! Back to the 90s! Roboteers, stand by – here comes enthusiastic commentary from Craig Charles, post-battle interviews with Philippa Forrester fraught with sexual tension, and… oh, wait, it’s not Robot Wars the TV show, beloved of all British tech-nerds for playing host to death matches between homemade, remote-controlled miniature killing […]
By Keri O’Shea Now here’s a new one… Here at the site, we’re in the habit, if we’ve reviewed a film, of embedding the film’s trailer at the end of the piece. We do this so that if we’ve piqued reader interest, then they can straight away take a look at what the film may […]
Review by Quin For the longest time, I was convinced that the posters I was seeing for Nurse 3D were just some art project for some fake horror movie. There seemed to be many variations of these photos featuring a combination of model/actress Paz de la Huerta in a bondage style nurses uniform, no uniform, […]
By Keri O’Shea Well, it’s fair to say we’ve been offered found footage movies which cover a multitude of themes and genres over the past few years at Brutal as Hell, but a porno found footage movie? Yep, this is indeed the frame for Lucky Bastard, and when we got an offer to review it, […]
Review by Nia Edwards-Behi It just keeps happening. Jurassic Park turned twenty last year, as did The Nightmare Before Christmas. The year before that, Aladdin. Next year – whisper it – Toy Story. One of my most beloved films of childhood and, frankly, adulthood, The Lion King turns twenty this year. Those of us born […]
