Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
Glasgow really does love horror. We host Frightfest’s annual trip north of the border and are lucky enough to have many, many up and coming film-makers working within the genre.
However, the big daddy of Scottish horror is still the Outpost series.
The first Outpost film, released in 2008, was a huge success and it was perhaps [...]
it’s been a rocky ol’ road for Machete Kills, what with the production being plagued with legal troubles that could have crippled the film altogether.
Luckily, Machete won’t be derailed so easily and now, finally, we can catch a glimpse at the first trailer. Not just any trailer mind you. No. It’s a gritty, grainy trailer, [...]
I don’t think I’m speaking out of turn when I say that the two biggest names in paranormal horror movies are Oren Peli and James Wan. While Peli focuses on his upcoming sci-fi horror Area 51, Wan has forged ahead with the ghostly, “things-that-go-bump-in-the-night” stories.
Currently hard at work on Insidious 2, it’s easy to forget [...]
With the announcement that Metrodome distribution will be releasing Franck Khalfoun’s incredible re-imagining of Grindhouse favourite Maniac (review here) on July 1st, 2013 comes two new posters from across the water, courtesy of US distributor, IFC Midnight.
The synopsis is as follows,
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is [...]
It has been a little while since we last mentioned Hatchet III, the latest installment in the slasher-in-the-swamp franchise, however with the recent trailer release and screening details creeping out, it seems like a good time for the minds behind the film to drop us a new poster.
The synopsis is as follows,
HATCHET III continues the [...]
I have to say this now. I simply cannot wait for The World’s End.
Of course, I don’t mean literally but rather referring to the soon-to-be-released horror comedy and third in the trilogy of films from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, that began with Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz.
As if my excitement [...]
It was back in February when we last brought any news on A Grim Becoming, the latest film from Deftone Pictures Studios, the little Buffalo, NY-based studio with big ideas.
Hot on the heels of the recent premiere of their long-gestating sci-fi horror, Ombis: Alien Invasion, comes the first trailer for the film which stars Brandon Williams, [...]
It seems that Ben Wheatley can do no wrong.
Having blown just about everyone, everywhere, away with his hitman horror flick, Kill List back in 2011, and introducing the world to its first ginger serial killer in the hilarious Sightseers, not to mention helming one of the more interesting segments in The ABC’s of Death, it’s fair to [...]
Hey. Remember me?
I know. I know. I’ve been away and it’s been quiet here. I am sorry for that. Truly, I am, but let me explain…
As some of you may well know, almost exactly a year ago, I made my first short “body horror” film, Dysmorphia, which has been met with an amazing response, due [...]
Having relatively recently experienced the tepid, CGI heavy offerings of the remakes of John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Fog, I wasn’t getting my hopes up about the Evil Dead remake which is directed and co-written by Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez. The 1981 original was considered one of the most violent films of its time [...]
