*many spoilers* Pet Sematary (2019) Dir: Kevin Kolsch, Dennis Widmyer Everyone's really pissed about this remake. And under usual circumstances, I would be too. I'm normally a bit of a purist, and utterly detest remakes based on their sheer futility. Does the world even need 10 versions of "A star is born"? No-one knows the … Continue reading Sometimes remakes are better

Cannibals and Keanu Reeves
The Bad Batch (2016) Dir: Ana Lily Amirpour Let's start with the positives. I'm feeling lots of love and harmony lately, and I've decided that I'm gonna try REALLY REALLY hard to see the good in things. Ironically I had this epiphany just before i watched this film so......sucks for me. So pros.... This film … Continue reading Cannibals and Keanu Reeves
CAMPING; part two
The Ritual 2017 Dir: David Bruckner Perhaps i'm a little biased, but Brits are definitely making the best horror movies at the minute. Maybe not the best ever, (after extensive scientific research I've concluded that Koreans make the best ever), but we are getting considerably better. More importantly directors have stopped using stupid british stereotypes and taking the … Continue reading CAMPING; part two
Camping
The idea of a sequel pains me. With the exception of The Godfather and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, I really don't have an overwhelming desire to watch a sequel. Ever. Look at what happened to Paranormal Activities. What started as an incredible film (a film, 1 film, singular), turned into a barrage of annoying … Continue reading Camping
The darkest shade of neon
The Neon Demon (2016) Dir: Nicholas Refn If you were to see this on Netflix, without knowing anything about it, and toyed with the idea of watching it because the visual was cool, and the bloke who did Drive directed it, then don't watch it. Really, don't. I'm not even really sure if Netflix is the … Continue reading The darkest shade of neon
Midnight Massacre
The Invitation 2016 Dir: Karyn Kusama *SPOILERS AHEAD* We've all been there. That awkward scenario when an ex invites you to a dinner party; you don't wanna go because that's the house you used to live in, also because you think your former spouse is now in a cult, and you have a sneeking suspicion … Continue reading Midnight Massacre
Vice Docs gone wrong
The Sacrament (2013) Dir: Ti West Three flannel wearing, New York hipsters who work for Vice (stay with me), go to the middle of nowhere to find some dude's sister ("Patrick" being dude in question). In short she joined a cult dressed up as a rehab center, found God, and sent her brother a letter … Continue reading Vice Docs gone wrong
Revisited: Orphan
Well...what can I say. Round of applause to the guy that made this. YOU sir, deserve a drink. like...where do I even begin? I've spend the past hour shouting profanities at my laptop and wanting a 9 year old dead so badly (even though she's really 33...we'll get there), that my brain is actually overwhelmed … Continue reading Revisited: Orphan
The Visit….sure
Every now and again comes a director so mind-blowingly overrated you almost feel compelled to hate them just to level out the playing field a bit. Even though not all of them are as evil and self obsessed as say, Christopher Nolan (just picking names out a hat here guys), you've decided by default that … Continue reading The Visit….sure
Deliver us from tired scripts
Sometimes I go and watch horror movies and I'm all like "meh". The usual haunted house/scary Japanese chick with long hair/young possessed catholic girl/ hillbillies who eat people situation. As a horror fan you get so used to these formulas then eventually you're just like immune...and often jaded...and that's fine I guess, just a bit … Continue reading Deliver us from tired scripts
