One of the most curious things I find about the slasher movie is the puritan aspect that is often present. If you have sex, you stand a much better chance of dying than someone […]
Franck Khalfoun’s stunning Maniac remake hit limited cinemas on Friday 15th March, and while the film contains countless pretty freakin awesome death scenes, due to it just being released, I felt it best to pick the […]
Director Adrian Lyne’s Jacob’s Ladder is without question one of the finest horror films ever made. A film to really screw with your head, and one that doesn’t make things clear until the […]
Arguably my favourite monster movie of all time, Tremors (1990) mixes man-eating worms, scares, laughs and great characters to create an adrenaline-pumping, crowd pleaser. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward play the likeable handymen that join […]
I read back over our Top Ten Universal films the other day and a strange feeling came over me, something wasn’t quite right, something was missing. I sat and pondered for a while and sat […]
Being the one on HCF who reviews most of the animated films that come out, it was only a matter of time before I chose a death scene from an animated movie, so here we […]
All the talk of Jose Padilha’s Robocop remake got me in the mood for watching Paul Verhoeven’s classic, just as a reminder that no matter who you put in charge of the remake, you will […]
Edgar Wright’s zombie triumph, Shaun of the Dead (2004) is probably the more fitting of his movies to appear on the HCF website, yet the goriest death takes place in his follow up comedy, Hot Fuzz. The […]
Steven Spielberg has often had a knack of getting his films rated ‘PG’ by the censors despite the fact they contain material that would normally have got the films in question a somewhat higher […]
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n61nZNycfBI[/youtube] The shock death of a main character is something that has been used to massive effect in movies throughout the ages. I remember when I was a young one and gasping in astonishment when […]
After his feature film debut I Stand Alone, a harrowing and frightening portrayal of a man on the edge, Gaspar Noe went even further with his next film, and really made his mark on […]
This is cheating perhaps, because this week’s Death Of The Week features five deaths…though virtually all at once. Now Halloween and perhaps even more, Friday The 13th, inspired a wave of slasher movies during […]
SPOILER WARNING: THIS POST GIVES AWAY THE ENDING OF THE FILM! Even though the early ones were groundbreaking in their use of sex, violence and gore, one doesn’t usually think of Hammer films as being […]
The majority of our Deaths up to now have been at the gruesome end of the scale, so here’s a murder scene that doesn’t spill a drop of blood, yet is a fine example […]
Death Of The Week is a fairly new HCF Feature, but in a way it’s surprising that it has taken this long to present a scene from the Master of kill scenes, the one and […]
Death Trap (1977) Director: Tobe Hopper While I carry on the massive task of viewing and reviewing the entire list of Video Nasties, the latest film to grace my TV screen was Tobe Hooper’s 1977 […]
Imagine you are the sheriff of a small town which is being plagued by a variety of strange and sinister occurences which include bleeding glass, disappearing bodies, visions of a priest who hanged himself and […]
Wild at Heart (1990) David Lynch (Dir) – Death of Bobby Peru Bobby Peru (William Defoe) is still one of my favourite Lynch creations. Perhaps only topped by Dennis Hopper’s Frank in Blue Velvet, Bobby […]
