Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
Ti West has been busy recently; after 2011’s The Innkeepers the writer-director provided shorts for V/H/S and The ABC’s of Death, and is now working on his new film The Sacrament.
Produced by the Bear Jew himself, Eli Roth, the film stars AJ Bowen, Joe Swanberg, Kentucker Audley (what a name!) and Amy Seimetz. Bowen and [...]
This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with V/H/S at the Wellington International Film Festival. The showing also included a Q&A with one of the key contributing directors, David Bruckner (The Signal).
If you’ve not done your homework then all you need to know is that it’s a curious hybridisation of the staple horror anthology [...]
I miss my old VHS player. The shoebox-sized tapes, the tracking issues and degraded picture. The garbled sound and the ever-present fear that your aging machine’s tape-heads will chew your beloved tapes in to an unwatchable mess of unravelled black, glossy tape.
I no longer have a VHS player. All I am left with is a [...]
Our friends in Manchester continue to impress with each new month throwing up an embarrassment of visual riches in the form of their monthly screening events.
Past events included double bills of Four Flies On Grey Velvet/Dellamorte Dellamore and of Demons/Demons 2 and each fresh announcement leads me to contemplate making the 400 mile round trip.

Just when you thought that Ti West may just have done all that could be done with “slow-burn” horror film-making in 2009′s The House Of The Devil, he decides to come back with yet another delicate, yet distinctly different, creep-fest in the form of The Innkeepers.
However, where House Of The Devil was a dark, brooding affair, The [...]
Ti West has sprung to the forefront of independent US horror film-making in the past few years, marking his place as an important new talent with such fayre as the wonderful The House Of The Devil and his most recent offering, The Innkeepers.
Now, Deadline are reporting that the services of West have been secured in [...]
So, yeah, this was a huge interview. So I split it into two.
The first part, saw AJ talk openly about his experiences on House Of The Devil, on his friendship with director Ti West and about A Horrible Way To Die.
So, in this, the second part, we move on to discussing other projects including Rites [...]
Back in 2009, I checked out a film on a recommendation. I was told, “Get this watched NOW. It’s right up your street”. That film, as it turned out, was Ti West’s The House Of The Devil, a fantastic, slow-burning homage to 80′s genre pics.
One of the most memorable scenes involves a young woman having [...]
When director Ti West released his homage to classic horror, House Of The Devil, in 2009, I was struck by how good a job he did of building up tension. Very little happens until the final scenes but it still had me very much on edge.
Well, now he’s back with his latest offering, the “haunted [...]
