Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
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 [...]
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 [...]
Disclaimer – the opinions voiced here are the opinion of Johnny Organ and are not the views of the entire AndyErupts team. But his opinion is ultimately the best in the world ever. So says his mum.
“I always suspected he was… uniquely untalented”
A quote from Robert Altman’s brilliant Hollywood satire The Player there and it’s [...]
No exaggeration, I know at least a million people who suffer from Coulrophobia or at the very least, are scared of clowns.
I can understand that. Clowns can be especially creepy. In dark lighting, doing those silent magic tricks with that painted grin on their face, trying desperately to impress and fascinate you. Yeah, I guess [...]
It can be a tad boring here in purgatory, so lets play a wee game, okay? Name the film. See if you get it. Okay? Here goes.
Horror film.
Got it yet?
(Okay. Okay!! Maybe that was asking a bit much of you.)
Set in a teen psychiatric ward…?
Mm? Any ideas yet?
It involves a dream demon that’s all burned [...]
Hello there. (Help me) Did you miss your favourite Organ? If so (Help me), I’m sorry and you’ll be delighted to know that my purgatory in VHS terror still continues. Languishing in the pits of Hi-Fi Stereo, chewed tapes, continuous tracking issues, video covered in snow, ridiculously bad movie trailers and a lot of tits [...]
We’re all Stephen King fans on AndyErupts I reckon, so what better way to start this new section of VCR Reviews than to start with this “classic”? I, and a few other horror fans of my age, seem to remember this film fondly. But “glasses”, “tinted” and “rose” put in the correct order might actually [...]
