Following a couple of night buses home, I get a few hours of sleep in then head West for Day 2. Fortunately, Saturday has some of the ones I’ve been most looking forward to. A […]
So I love Fright Fest – I mean really love it. I’ve been five times, and intend to keep going ’til long after I seem too old for it. The movies, the atmosphere and the […]
Receiving its world premiere at this weekend’s Fright Fest, Crow tells a dark fantasy tale about man vs nature. To celebrate, Horror Cult Films got in touch with movie maker Wyndham Price to discuss tribal […]
THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR (2016) Directed by James DeMonaco Usually I’m a big believer in star ratings as a shorthand for those that can’t be arsed reading the 700 words before it. But being a part […]
Lights out (2016) Directed by David F. Sandberg Now, I’ve never looked into it, so could be wrong. But I’d bet fear of the dark is among the most common phobias. There’s something inherently scary […]
BACHELOR GAMES Directed by Edward McGown Earlier this year my twin brother got engaged and wisely appointed me as the best man. This means, after they have the hefty cost of a wedding saved up, […]
Circle (2015) Directed by Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione Yep, the horror/ thriller/ sci-fi sections on Netflix are a load of tosh. Sure they’re better than Prime. But they rarely get updated, have fragments of franchises […]
THE SHALLOWS Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra The sun’s out but so are the sharks. Excited? Likely not. You see, the problem facing these movies is similar to that which faces exorcism ones. That’s to say […]
K-SHOP (2016) Directed by Dan Pringle Look, who doesn’t like a kebab at 2 AM? I’m sure you know the feeling – you’re merry, you’ve had a few and you want to soak it up. […]
MACBETH (2016) by Arrows & Traps Theatre Company Directed by Ross McGregor To those that haven’t read, seen or even thought about the bard since high school, Macbeth is the one with the witches. This trio […]
VISIONS (2015) Directed by Kevin Greutert Given the genre’s focus on vulnerable people in danger, it seems a fairly safe bet to do a film about a pregnant women in trouble. Sadly, as per 2014’s […]
TALE OF TALES (2015) Directed by Matteo Garrone Once upon a time there was a Neapolitan poet, named Giambattista Basile, who specialised in fairy tales. But these weren’t like those Disneyfied ones your parents told you […]
THE CONJURING 2 Directed by James Wan I differ from many other members of the Horror Cult Films team in that I hated The Conjuring. Yes, it was slickly made and the door bit was […]
THE DARK ROOM Written and performed by John Robertson “You awake to find yourself in a dark room!” So goes the simple premise for the world’s only live text based adventure game. The show began […]
X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016) Directed by Bryan Singer So here we go again. An ancient evil force has come out of long term slumber and is intent on destroying the world via largely undefined powers for no […]
RESTORATION (2016) Directed by Zack Ward Maybe it’s my horror fandom that makes me so loathe to move out of the current squalor I call home. After all, if this genre’s taught us anything it’s […]
THE BEFORE TIME (2014) Directed by Miguel Müller ‘Some things ought to stay buried’. So goes my attempt to paraphrase every horror movie made on the topic of Native American lore. In these films about nature, […]
FRIEND REQUEST (2016) Directed by Simon Verhoeven Everyone has that one friend on Facebook they don’t like much: the sort of overly needy oddity they keep on their list out of sympathy. Now imagine that […]
