Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
Just when you thought it was safe to put the DVD player back on, along comes DeadTime, a direct-to-DVD release that should have come with a government health warning. This one somehow found its way into the AndyErupts mailbox and was passed on to me – the rest of the team can now breathe a [...]
As if it is not bad enough seeing all the cherished movies from our youth being remade, with atrocious results (see: The Fog, Friday the 13th, Fright Night etc.), we are now subjected to remakes of movies that weren’t even all that good in the first place .
In this case, it is Meir Zarchi’s controversial [...]
Another day, another remake. This time, the title seemingly drawn from the hat is Tom Holland’s 1985 vampire flick, Fright Night.
Everyone, I am sure, will have their own memories of this particular movie, but for me it was seeing the VHS box – with that awesome cover, lying around at home and being bold enough to [...]
It is not often that I am approached to review a specific movie, rather, I am usually left to my own devices. Yet, when I received this, my first review disc for the site, I felt an enormous sense of personal pride that Andy felt that I should be the man to watch this feature [...]
Regular readers of AndyErupts will be aware that Apollo 18 has already been mentioned on the site.
It featured in Andy’s Review of 2011 – in the “Worst of” section. The good thing about this site however, is that we are allowed to disagree with each other; all opinions and discussion are welcome. Sadly though, Apollo [...]
Ah, here we are again, back in the familiar territory of horror remakes. Receiving the remake treatment this time is Sean S Cunningham’s 1980 slasher flick Friday the 13th.
The first question would have to be “why?” – it was a good slasher flick for its day but was not really crying out to be remade. [...]
It is always an interesting experience watching the movie version of a treasured novel, although the end results are often not what we expect or hope for. The ideal scenario is that the director and producers have selected the right people for the characters we know so well, as well as capturing the same mood [...]
Prom Night is one of those movies that gives the horror genre a bad name. I am told it is a “re-imagining” rather than a remake. This only makes the experience worse because what that tells me is that those involved think they can do a better job than the people who brought us the [...]
Oh dear. What have we all done to deserve movies like this?
Clearly it is a form of punishment for us movie lovers. The only thing that is horror in Boogeyman is the fact that it got made and some poor people out there paid good money to go and see it. I, at least, have [...]
It is fair to say that movies based on video games have not provided too many classics. I can remember many years ago going to see Super Mario Bros and being absolutely disgusted with it; I was 9 years old and I was absolutely disgusted! Not forgetting of course some of the more recent efforts [...]
