Ghosts of the Ozarks is a 2021 horror western that will be available to stream from 23rd May. With a plot that promised a period horror, the end result is sadly lacking in mystery and is instead a long, drawn-out affair that only really picks up right at the end. The film follows Doctor James […]

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is the latest adaptation of the Resident Evil games, taking the mantel from the previous series of 6 films starring Milla Jovovich. With a trailer that promised a much more faithful adaptation than the original film series, which had a passing resemblance to the games at best, hopes were

Chucky is the latest incarnation of the red-headed murderous doll, this time in the form of an 8 episode TV series. Unlike the previous ill-advised Child’s Play reboot from 2019, this version sticks a lot more closely to the original films and aesthetics (the look of the Doll from the 2019 film is laughably bad)
Coming to Netflix from November 28, Elves is a six-part Danish series from the creators and executive producers behind The Rain. It’s a Christmas tale, but with a little touch of horror thrown in for good measure. Perfect. A family of four are travelling by ferry to a remote Danish island for a Christmas break
Originally scheduled for an April 2020 release, supernatural horror Antlers has finally hit our screens 18 months later. With Guillermo Del Toro acting as producer and a trailer that looked quirky and, frankly, a little terrifying, expectations were high. And for once I wasn’t disappointed. The film is set in a small town in Oregon
What We Do in the Shadows has returned for a third season, something I never thought I’d see. Based on the 2014 mockumentary film of the same name, the show has surpassed all expectations with two incredibly brilliant seasons.

Malignant is the new film from James Wan, the man behind Saw, The Conjuring and Insidious. With such popular horror films in his resume and a trailer that looked utterly terrifying, I’d expected big things from Wan’s latest release. However, the end result is far too ridiculous to be taken seriously and most worryingly of

A Classic Horror Story is an Italian take on, well, the classic lost in the woods horror story. Despite the clichéd plot, this is a surprisingly well-executed and atmospheric film with a twist that turns this into something incredibly enjoyable. The film is set in Italy and features Matilda Lutz as Elisa, a young woman
