REVIEW – Manborg – (DVD)

manborg

There comes a time in your cinematic viewing life where you come across gems that take you right back to your childhood. In almost every detail, right down to the dialogue, textures, special effects, acting and soundtrack. That time is now. That film is Manborg.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that Manborg had [...]

REVIEW – Paranormal Activity 4

paranormal-activity-4-trailer-poster

Sigh…. Disappointing.
You can stop reading now but if you must continue, then know this. I went to the cinema looking forward to the next installment of the spooky found footage franchise and left feeling underwhelmed and deflated. With Paranormal Activity 3 directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman returning to the helm, the film is certainly in [...]

REVIEW – ParaNorman

paranorman

I love a good animated kid’s film, so when I saw the trailer for ParaNorman I immediately added it to my long list of films to see. Coming from animation company LAIKA who teamed up with Focus Features, the company behind the Academy Award-nominated Coraline, I was expecting good things.

ParaNorman is a stop-motion animation, directed [...]

Hoodies, high-rises and gloom on display in latest Citadel poster…

citadelposter2

This is one that has had our very own bookworm John Milton salivating for quite some time.
After receiving glowing reviews at its World Premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival, Ciaran Foy’s gritty housing scheme horror flick, Citadel has a new poster to further promote it’s bleak, urban hellishness.
Part-filmed in my beloved Glasgow, Citadel stars James [...]

We never SAW this news coming… YEAH RIGHT…!

Saw-movie

Well, they lied to us. Pure and simple. Despite Lionsgate and the makers of SAW claiming SAW 3D would be the final part of the gruesome tale, Bloody Disgusting are claiming to have inside sources that say talks are under way about bringing a new film with the SAW name attached to it in the near future.

Are [...]

REVIEW – The Pact

The Pact

 
I’ll admit it’s been a while since I’ve watched a good horror film. It’s been for a combination of reasons. I’ve been catching up with the new DC universe, I got caught up in the Mass Effect universe again playing the final instalment and I do have a passion for European football. I did watch [...]

Book Review- Doll Parts

doll parts

After reading Drop Dead Gorgeous by Wayne Simmons, I was keen to return to the bleak post-apocalyptic Belfast that the author had created and left wide-open for a return at the end of DDG in which, . And so, I eagerly set about reading its sequel, Doll Parts.

The book comes with the following synopsis:
“Roughly 99% [...]

Looking Back at… Silent Hill Homecoming

silent-hill-homecoming

You don’t have to remember too far back to remember Silent Hill: Homecoming, but maybe now after a little time, and after another (justifiably) critically panned sequel, maybe it’s time to give a little credit to the 6th game in the only remaining franchise that deserves it’s “survival horror” tag.
Whilst Resident Evil 5 went all [...]

REVIEW – The Thaw – DVD

the thaw

There’s something about horror films set in sub-zero conditions that just adds another dimension to movies for me: John Carpenter’s The Thing, 30 Days of Night, and  The Shining are all excellent examples of movies that have been greatly enhanced by the characters having to deal not only with their respective antagonists but also to [...]
