Blu-ray Review: RED SONJA – Swords, Sorcery & Schwarzenegger

Blu-ray Review: Prano Bailey-Bond’s CENSOR Is Pure Nightmare Poetry

Prano Bailey-Bond’s Censor is one hell of a cinematic calling card. The director’s feature-length debut is an incredibly assured film with a wonderful mastery of tone and vision. It’s been rightfully lauded by critics and genre [...]

Review: Brad Anderson’s Cult Chiller SESSION 9 Gets An Epic Release From Second Sight Films

Slow burning and atmospheric, Brad Anderson‘s Session 9 has aged exceptionally well since it was first released back in 2001. This is because of its strong cast, well-honed characterisation and the atmospheric location work of the [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Ben Affleck’s LIVE BY NIGHT

Blu-ray Review: PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND Starring Nicolas Cage Is As Crazy As It Is Disappointing

Review: Adam Wingard’s THE GUEST Entertains Like A VHS-Era Thriller

A lean and mean thriller, director Adam Wingard‘s 2014 film The Guest is a hugely entertaining affair. Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett keep this retro-style pic simple, delivering a quick set-up in order to craft some tense moments and [...]

Review: Alain Delon Is MR KLEIN In Joseph Losey’s Curious Mystery

Joseph Losey’s French drama, Mr Klein (Monsieur Klein) is a quietly understated WWII thriller which features a powerful-yet-subdued performance from Alain Delon in the title role. The 1976 film draws tension from the mundane and it [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Justin Kurzel’s MACBETH

Director Justin Kurzel’s 2015 screen adaptation of Macbeth is a luscious piece of cinematic grit. It’s a down-and-dirty version of Shakespeare’s tragedy but it’s a hollow film that unfortunately has had it’s heart ripped out through its [...]

Behind The Scenes: Eva Green & Director Noam Murro On The Set Of 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE

Director Noam Murro’s 300: Rise Of An Empire could have been a disaster. The previous film’s style became so iconic and copied that it appeared to be nothing fresh left for Murro’s film to mine. However, 2014’s 300: Rise Of An [...]
