Arrow video continue their recent impressive form with another Mario Bava re-release, the latest in a succession of Bava titles to be released on Blu-ray and DVD. This time, it’s Baron Blood.
Originally released in 1972, Baron Blood was one of Bava´s most successful releases, however, failing to reach the same levels of critical acclaim as many [...]
Trying to describe 1981′s Knightriders in any kind of sensible fashion is very difficult when the concept of the film is based on a travelling circus of Medieval Jousters riding modern-day Motorcycles. However, as its directed by George A Romero, I figured I’d give it a go.
Knightriders centers around Billy ( Ed Harris ), the leader of a [...]
So the boss hands me From Beyond. Shamefully, I’d never even heard of it but as always I take what’s given and watch it with no preconceptions and boy… was I in for a treat.
Originally released in 1986, I have no idea why I have not seen this film until now. I am angered and slightly [...]
As a huge fan of Italian cinema, one of my personal highlights of this year’s Frightfest was, without a shadow of a doubt, Peter Strickland’s stunning psychological giallo-inspired thriller, Berberian Sound Studio.
Clearly, the world agrees as the film has received rave reviews and scooped awards for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor at Frightfest, [...]

Colour me giddy with excitement. I have known about this for quite some time but I think it is only fair that I share the full wealth of the goodies on offer with you, our faithful readers.
On December 3rd. Arrow Video will re-release my favourite zombie film of all time, Lucio Fulci’s wonderful Zombie Flesh Eaters, [...]
In these days of lightning fast broadband and digital tomfoolery, the short film has become a powerful tool for the budding film-maker. The ability to shoot a film on
digital, for little to no money and instantly submit it to festivals globally via the internet means that your film can, very quickly, get out to festivals [...]
I have resisted the temptation to use this site to push my own agenda, however, I would be remiss if I didn’t talk a little bit about my own love of body horror in this review. As some of you might know, I have a vested interest in “body horror”, given that my first short film, [...]
The Resident Evil franchise is past it’s prime. Seven years ago it was at peak condition. The Resident Evil 4 video game being a formidable, word class, award winning show man. The most bankable player on the market. Unfortunately it was a tough act to follow and the franchise has lost it’s way ever since, [...]
