About Ross Hughes
Since my mother sat me down at the age of five years of age and watched a little called Halloween, I have been hooked on horror. There is no other genre that gets me excited and takes me to the edge of entertainment. I watch everything from old, new, to cheap and blockbusters, but I promise all my readers that I will always give an honest opinion, and I hope whoever reads this review section, will find a film that they too can love as much as I do! Have fun reading, and please DO HAVE NIGHTMARES!!!!!!

The French Arachnophobia…. For years, sharks have been the big thing that has delighted horror fans, what with the vicious bite of The Reef franchise, to the B-Movie love for the ridiculous Sharkanado franchise and countless other titles that […]

Founders Day

This is no Thanksgiving….. While Eli Roth’s popular recent box-office smash had a vicious streak of dark humour running though its horror veins, this slasher flick from the Bloomquist Brothers, while drawing comparisons, is a more straight to […]

  A bogeyman in the shape of a smart house offers the gore in this “Demon Seed” variant for the modern generation….. Horror combined with modern technology has been a stable within the genre for […]

A family on a make or break holiday retreat gets some unwelcome visitors in Blumhouse’s latest home invasion horror that offers up some ludicrous twists…. OK so I admit, I probably enjoyed A House on the […]

PET SEMATARY: Bloodlines

  Stephen King’s classic story gets a prequel movie, that suggests the franchise, much like the dead on show….should have stayed buried….. Some horror movies, should never really become a franchise. When you have man […]

  The Australian slasher from 2000 that die-hard genre fans will remember had Kylie Minogue in the Drew Barrymore role…. Much like Halloween before it, the success of SCREAM in 1996 caused a mini Slasher boom, not quite on […]

Mindcage

A B-movie 90’s style serial killer flick which sees a decent cast try their own Silence of the Lambs story- the results are questionable! Not long after Se7en came out to a resounding success, the thriller genre […]

Black Friday

Bruce Campbell is back among the dead in this low budget caper that harks back to a golden age of horror daftness…. For every serious horror release in which we use Hereditary as an example, there is the […]

Careful at what hatches…. Hanna Bergholm’s neat debut feature shows that even a simple story can bring the much needed terror in a tale that has won much critical acclaim not just in its own home […]
