Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
Upon my arrival at AndyErupts HQ for my regular “catch up, pizza and assignment” session, I was handed a DVD and asked to toddle off and review it.
As it turns out, it’s a “made for SyFy” film. Uh-oh. It’s Goblin, directed by Jeffery Lando and starring Gill Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption, Flash Forward).
As soon as I saw [...]
Man Alive, I’m tired after that…
I covered a news piece on this back in December 2011 and what we have here, is yet another fine “mockbuster” creature feature movie brought to us by those good people at The Asylum, purveyors of such quality films as Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.
It’s 2-Headed Shark Attack. A shark [...]
Ah. Um. Where do I even begin?
The first thing that struck me is that the primary focus of the film isn’t on the titular Super Shark at all. Oh no. It’s also not the peril of the human characters as they attempt to destroy the prehistoric fish. The focus CLEARLY isn’t on acting or a coherent storyline [...]
So aside from my love for sharks, I also have a love for spiders. Hell, I have a pet tarantula which stands as testament to this.
I first heard mention of Camel Spiders at the end of 2011 but paid it no more heed until today’s news that the film now has a concrete US only [...]
Sigh. This is the path I have chosen. Throwing myself without a seconds thought for good taste (or my own sanity) in front of whatever “nature-gone-wild”, straight to DVD, cinematic turd that Andy might suggest. I am delighted to say that my latest review mission has done nothing to break the trend.
The evolution of the [...]
Here in Glasgow we are currently gripped tightly in Winter’s frosty clutches but me? I am already looking forward to Summer.
Ah Summer. The time for holidays and indeed, the five S’s that define a holiday. Sun, Sand, Sea, Sex and SHARKS! OK so the last one doesn’t often feature in my holidays but as the [...]
BEEP BEEP, goes my phone. It’s a text message from Andy, and a typically abrupt, rude one at that. “Get off your arse and review a film called Creature“. So I reply with a simple, “OK mate“. Polite, approachable.
BEEP BEEP, again, “Stick with it “, it says. Oh God… That’s never good!
Directed by Fred [...]
So, as AndyErupts resident animal lover, I was tasked with the job of reviewing Shark Night 3D, which is absolutely perfect for me as Andy knows how much I love shark movies and sharks in general. I find them to be fascinating creatures unlike JohnMilton who quivers with fear at the mere mention of them. [...]
Once again I found myself tentatively taking receipt of a DVD from a sniggering AndyErupts, his face a picture of mischievous, boyish glee. I looked down at the box and thought “What the fuck?”. The boss is clearly having a laugh here. What is the film, you ask? Well it’s 2004′s The Root of All Evil. [...]
“Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
– William Blake
I like daft movies about animals. Shark Attack, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus etc. So while paying a visit to the nerve centre at AndyErupts HQ, I was surprised to be asked if [...]
