Snakes on a Plane

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Ok, I feel I need to speak about this. Seriously, WTF?

Saw 3 - seriously, no

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Bad Lionsgate films! You guys have to stop making Saw sequels. The first one was a good movie. It wasn’t massively ground breaking as people said it was. Don’t get me wrong it was a very good movie but it won’t go down in history alongside Blair Witch Project. But as a stand alone it […]

Don’t miss this when it arrives in cinemas…

Hostel fails to impress

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Hostel is the latest film for those who are into violent horror but anything with this kind of torture theme is destined to get compared to Saw and sadly Hostel fails to meet the grade. Our ace reporter Craig says is was an ok film but far from anything special.

Buffy movie… any time now

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Well it’s been what, three years now since Buffy finished and we’re still no closer to getting any kind of spin-off.

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

All these new-fangled horror movies like Saw and Blair Witch Project are great and all, but you can’t beat a good bit of classic horror. Such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and none of this re-make crap, I’m talking original 1956 version here.
I mean look at it…

You just don’t get effects like that today.

It’s about suspension of disbelief

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

I got watching The X-Files last night on DVD. It rocks, it’s one of the few shows that actually scares me. Why? Because it’s all about suspension of disbelief. Sure if I didn’t allow myself to lapse into that state it would be just as un-freightening as everything else but then it kind of voids […]

Can blonde hair scare?

Friday, December 16th, 2005

Got into a debate a week ago about whether blonde hair could be scary. We were discussing the white witch in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe who is pitifully unscary and Jack was aruging that you cannot done scary with blonde hair. I tend to agree.

However I don’t think it’s totally impossible. My […]
