If, like me, you are a subscriber to LOVEFiLM then you may be left scratching your head in bewilderment at the movies which appear in your “Recommendations” section. This particular DVD rental service has a bizarre way of working out the titles that you may be interested in from what you have viewed previously. For [...]
When you have taken something of a sabbatical from watching movies there is a decision to be made on what you should watch first. You could watch something with emotional depth that will leave you thinking differently about the world long after the final credits. Or you could watch something that allows you to zone [...]
There’s an old adage about not judging a book by its cover, however more and more I am finding this saying equally applicable to movies. A perfect example of that argument is Dream House.
A quick scan of the DVD cover captures my interest with a rather creepy image supporting an already intriguing title. Not only [...]
Anyone who has read the works of the AndyErupts team or even had the good fortune to meet any of us personally will know that we are anything but movie snobs. You name it, we will watch it.
From killer sheep to sharks that live on land, we are up for just about any horror movie [...]
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 [...]

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.
