Uncovering Curiosities: Fred Dekker’s NIGHT OF THE CREEPS

Fred Dekker’s 1986 directorial debut, Night Of The Creeps is a gloriously bonkers horror-comedy which blends 1950s B-movie/sci-fi with 1980s frat-boy comedy. You’d think the whole thing would buckle under the silliness of it all, but Dekker [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: Brian Yuzna’s SOCIETY

Brian Yuzna’s Society plays like a warped episode of Beverly Hills 90210 directed by David Cronenberg. It’s a paranoid body-horror filled with black comedy and gruesome practical effects. It’s icky, creepy and funny yet it lacks any real [...]

Blu-ray Review: Second Sight Films Delivers A Brilliant Package For Cyber Thriller UPGRADE

Upgrade seemed to come and go on its cinematic release in 2018 before hitting the home entertainment realm with little fanfare. It sure passed me by and I would like to think that the film’s new re-release from Second Sight Films will see the it [...]

DVD Review: Slimy Horror Flick BITE Starts Off Shaky But Finds Its Feet

Bite starts with a group of women on holiday in Costa Rica – and I almost automatically gave up on it. It was filmed in a hand-held, ‘found footage’ style and I’ve seen more than enough of those types of films to last me a lifetime. [...]
