31 Days of Horror: ‘Dracula Untold’ Can Barely Bite Through Your Skin

by Alex DiGiovanna

Universal is one of those studios that refuses to give up on its old properties, specifically their monsters. They keep trying really hard to make the Universal Monsters relevant and popular but continue to fail with each passing film....

Movie Review: ‘Automata’ - Banderas Gets Broody In This Bleak Look Into The Future

by Tom Hunt

The year is 2044, and after solar flares have left Earth’s natural defences weak and susceptible to radiation, the human population had dropped to a mere 21 million. To combat this we started an automata programme where intelligent robots...

31 Days of Horror: ‘Smiley’ Review

by Tom Hunt

Strap in for an uninspired, lack-lust horror gone wrong in an example to filmmakers everywhere of how not to do it. From the opening five minutes of Smiley you can tell this is going to be a bit tongue-in-cheek....

31 Days of Horror: ‘Eden Lake’ Review

by Tom Hunt

Oh my. I can’t remember the last horror I watched that left sickening butterflies in my stomach. One that left me wondering about it for hours, even the following day. One that made my brain spin in all sorts...

31 Days of Horror: ‘Treehouse’ Review

by Tom Hunt

31 Days of Horror: ‘Nurse 3D’ Review

by Tom Hunt
