Overlord Review

Overlord follows a group of WWII soldiers on a mission to bring down a radio tower in a remote French town. It opens with our team of soldiers traveling by plane, one of a large number of aircraft and warships all heading towards enemy territory during the dead of night. As they near their destination, […]

The Predator

The Predator Review

So, another week, another disappointment at the cinema. This week, it’s the turn of The Predator. For the first 40 minutes or so though, I actually really enjoyed this latest installment of a franchise that has always struggled to match the original. Some interesting ideas and characters are introduced and there’s a healthy dose of

The Nun

The Nun Review

I’m a big fan of The Conjuring movies. The original is one of my favourite scary movies, and while I enjoyed the sequel, for me it just didn’t live up to the very high bar set by the first. Creepy doll Annabelle from the first movie landed her own disappointing outing, followed by a surprisingly

The Meg

The Meg Review

If you’ve seen any of the posters or trailers for The Meg, you know exactly what you’re in for. It’s basically Jason Statham versus a big ass prehistoric shark, and that’s pretty much all you need to know. If you’re expecting a decent script, without any clichés, or any kind of decent acting for that

Hereditary

Hereditary Review

I’ve just left the cinema having seen the highly anticipated movie Hereditary and I’m in shock. Not because it’s scary, or unsettling, or any of the other things that so many other glowing reviews have mentioned. No, I’m in shock because I don’t think I’ve ever been in a cinema where so many people have

Ghost Stories

Ghost Stories

Sadly I missed out on seeing Ghost Stories on stage when it played in London’s West End a few years ago. By all accounts, it was a hugely enjoyable and genuinely scary experience, which I would have loved! The movie version is written by the same guys responsible for the stage show. Jeremy Dyson (co-creator

A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place

We’re on day 79 of what we assume is some kind of apocalyptic event. A general store is deserted, without power, and in a complete mess. A man and his wife (John Krasinski and off screen wife Emily Blunt), along with their 3 children, are quietly scavenging for drugs for one of the children who

Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day

It’s not that scary, and there’s no real blood or gore for die hard horror fans to enjoy, but Happy Death Day – the latest offering from Blumhouse Productions – still manages to deliver a wildly entertaining mashup of Groundhog Day and Scream. College girl Tree Gelbman wakes up in the dorm of a boy

IT (2017)

If you’re of a certain age you’ll probably remember the ‘It’ TV mini series of 1990, based on Stephen Kings classic novel. And you’ll also have lasting memories of Tim Curry as Pennywise, the demonic clown who terrorises the town of Derry, Maine. His was the definitive evil clown, the benchmark for all scary movie
