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 […]
There’s nothing too secretive about Secret Cinema. Once a cult thing, it’s since mutated into a full on London institution that’s become prime fodder for social media shares and banter around the office water cooler. The […]
THE UNFOLDING (2016) Directed by Eugene McGing Usually writing reviews is a real source of pleasure. If the movie’s a good one then it’s great fun to tell people why they should see it. And if it’s bad then at […]
GOODNIGHT MOMMY Directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz Maybe a couple of times a year there comes a horror non-horror fans like too (they generally become ‘psychological thrillers with supernatural undertones’). Goodnight Mommy is one […]
DEADPOOL (2016) Directed by Tim Miller Breaking the fourth wall as often as necks, whilst making blowjob jokes aplenty, it’s safe to say Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool) is not Marvel’s most conventional superhero. Think of him as […]

When I’m not writing about movies, my main passion is psychology: a subject I’ve taught professionally for the past few years. As such, I was delighted to get invited to the set for new psych-based […]
THE LAUGHING MASK (2014) Directed by Michael Aguiar Maybe it’s just me – but it’s felt like a long time since I saw a masked killer horror with a new face. This is unfortunate, as […]
BLACK EYED CHILDREN: LET ME IN Directed by Jason Snyder Horror kids come in many forms. Sometimes they’re demonic (The Omen), others they’re psychic (Village Of The Damned) and then there’s those that are just […]
BACKWATER Directed by Christopher Schrack As per planning holidays, if you wish to save money on your horror movie then set it in the woods. Here you’ll find a suitably creepy location, ready-made atmospheric lighting […]
THE STRANGER (2015) Directed by Guillermo Amoedo When an established director slaps their name to somebody else’s movie, via the vague term ‘presents’, it usually seems like a cynical ploy to make people part with money they normally […]
TBK: TOOLBOX MURDERS 2 (2013) Directed by Dean Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENk16Ss1pKI Over five fun-filled days at a recent festival the thing that surprised me most wasn’t any of the movies. Rather it was the sight of […]
To celebrate the launch of their latest exhibition, on the works of UK movie artist Graham Humphreys, Proud Galleries in Camden invited a host of genre geeks for an evening of music, drinking and fandom. A […]
THE NIGHTMARE (2015) Directed by Rodney Ascher There’s nothing more boring than when somebody tells you about a dream they once had. Many times have my eyes glazed over as otherwise interesting people tell me […]
WIND WALKERS (2015) Written and directed by Russell Friedenberg The hunters become the hunted – so goes the synopsis for many a genre piece. However, to make his first foray into horror territories leap out […]
NARCOPOLIS (2014) Directed by Justin Trefgarne In liberal circles a constant argument concerns the morality of drug legislation. Were narcotics regulated then would it lead to better health outcomes, an increasingly dependent population or both? […]
CONTAINMENT (2015) Directed by Neil Mcenery-West [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FKDuayn6U8[/youtube] There’s six people trapped in the apartments of a dank Southampton housing block and the power is out. Yet in this low-budget debut from Neil Mcenery-West, they’re the lucky […]
