Fright Fest (2018): Best to worst
The bottom line – a cheat sheet for anyone who doesn’t want to wade through five days of diaries (here, here, here, here and here) to separate the metaphorical wheat from the chaff. In terms […]

This is the end, beautiful friends, the end. Following five days of films, filter coffees and plenty of kills, Fright Fest is over once again. It’s been another successful year, with a mostly stellar line-up. […]
Last night I dreamt I was in a horror movie situation. I was in a scary house somewhere, surrounded by things not dissimilar to the Xenomorphs – only they seemed to be made of leather. […]
Day three. At the start it feels like there’s so much left, then at the end it’s almost over. I wake from a short sleep then head downstairs for breakfast then skim a paper, to […]
Traditionally first nights are a mixed bag, with less impressive showings like Cherry Tree, Cell and Death Note being among the early showings for the last few years. Still, as per the fried food and […]
Sing it with me! It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, it’s August bank holiday weekend, and HorrorCultFilms are visiting London, which can only mean one thing –the Arrow Video sponsored Fright Fest […]
UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB Directed by Stephen Susco Horror’s rarely taken well to technology. From Frankenstein to The Ring, Poltergeist or even Lawnmower Man you got to be darn brave in this new world. In recent […]
You opened the page, so I came. Regular readers may recall I recently ranked the Halloween series and the Friday the 13ths, then judged the Jurassic Parks. Lately I’ve gotten to know a Hellraiser fan […]
CAM-GIRL (2016) Directed by Curt Wiser The internet’s a scary place. Whether its a cyber-haven for malevolent ghosts, as in Pulse, spooky teen melodrama, as in Unfriended/ Friend Request, sexual predators, as in Megan is […]
MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT Directed by Christopher Ray The horror calendar is full up of decent days, with Halloween, Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valentine, Happy Birthday To Me, Graduation Day, Black Christmas and even April […]
THE FIRST PURGE (2018) Directed by Gerard McMurray The Purge has a great premise. What one night of lawlessness might provoke in individuals usually held in check by society is a great conversation starter for horror […]
WHO’S WATCHING OLIVER Directed by Richie Moore Dysfunctional relationships between mother and son are something of a genre staple – be it the empathetic portrayal in Babadook, the destructive one in Friday the 13th , […]
HEREDITARY (2018) Directed by Ari Aster It’s that once or twice a year when mainstream critics embrace our beloved genre again. As such, expect prefixes like ‘intelligent’ or ‘psychological’ to feature heavily to disguise it’s […]
JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM Directed by J.A. Bayona So as a word of warning, this may not be my clearest-headed review, as it was written in the wake of a midnight screening. Still, for the […]
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Directed by Ron Howard I expect many reading this played at Star Wars when they were younger – whether it was running around with toy light sabres, blasters or spaceships. […]
So yeah, Infinity War was great, Black Panther was ace, Ant Man 2 looks grand and I’m glad Solo’s got good reviews (thus far). But I’ve been way more excited about seeing dinosaurs on the […]
TROLL INC. (2017) Directed by George Russell I remember first time I got trolled. I was visiting a Yahoo chatroom, back when people still did that, and saw a poster tell the room about the […]
Hello campers! Having recently ranked the Halloween and Saw franchises, I thought I’d turn my attention to the best series of them all: Friday the 13th. Starting as a shameless clone of Halloween moved to […]
