Review by Stephanie Scaife Caution: moderate spoilers and NSFW pictures of Mathilda May ahead. Tobe Hooper has had a mixed and oftentimes disappointing career as a filmmaker; the highs of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, widely regarded as one of the best horror films ever made, and the lows of, well, just about everything else […]
Review by Ben Bussey Caution: the following review of this thoroughly naughty movie contains thoroughly naughty images from some thoroughly naughty scenes, which are almost certainly NSFW depending on how lenient your employers are (assuming Brutal As Hell isn’t already barred by their safe-search settings and whatnot). Still with us? Awesome… This charming little family-friendly […]
Editor’s note: this is a detailed discussion of the film and, as such, it contains spoilers. By Keri O’Shea Sometimes, the luck of the draw can be a bitch. Emerging onto the horror movie scene in close proximity during the late Eighties came two, in some ways very similar, sets of demonic entities; in each […]
By Keri O’Shea Families. They’re funny things. Think about it: with no say on your part, you may find yourself tied, for the duration of your mortal existence, to a rag-tag assembly of people with whom you have very little in common, if anything at all. And yet, for all that – they still matter […]
Review by Tristan Bishop Nosferatu is now 92 years old, ladies and gentlemen – only 8 years until it gets a telegram from the Queen, in fact, so it seems odd that it should be getting a big re-release right now, but Eureka’s Masters Of Cinema label is putting out what promises to be the […]
Review by Stephanie Scaife If Machete felt like they were flogging a dead horse then Machete Kills is very much flogging a rotten, decomposed dead horse, which is as sad and depressing as you might imagine. Much like everyone else, I was fairly taken with Robert Rodriguez’s fake trailer for Machete that accompanied his and […]
By Comix Oh, it’s another one of these. It’s that comic that you’ve read a million times, the one with the group of secretly funded ghost hunters who travel the globe stomping out monsters. We saw it in BPRD, we saw it in Atomic Robo, and in Hoax Hunters, The Intrepids, Justice League Dark, the […]
Review by Ben Bussey Quoth the Bard, “what’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.” But then, old Bill never hit upon this cracker, did he? Yup, as memorable monikers go, Ernesto Diaz Espinoza’s film definitely has a bit of an edge from the get-go. […]
Review by Ben Bussey On those rare occasions that someone might feel inclined to defend the flood of horror remakes that we’ve seen over the past ten years, one precedent we might easily measure it against is that of Hammer Horror. For the most part we tend to class them simply as time honoured classics now; the silver […]
By Guest Contributor Nathan Sturm Editor’s note: can we improve the state of modern cinema with a few, handy, easy-to-follow rules? Our guest writer Nathan thinks that you can, and I’d bet my last banknote that a lot of Brutal As Hell readers will agree on a few of these. Check them out here… 1) […]
Review by Quin There was a time when low budget films were either great or awful. A low budget used to mean that the entire production and the look of the picture often suffered. These days, I’m seeing a lot of films that look like hardly any money went into making it, but technically and […]
