Blu-ray Review: Tobe Hooper’s Killer Crocodile Horror EATEN ALIVE Is A Death Trap

Review: THE INHABITANTS Delivers Creepy And Atmospheric Chills

Pretty Cool Mondo Poster For Tod Browning’s DRACULA

Movies In Focus really doesn’t cover Mondo posters. More than enough sites already do that and I don’t necessarily believe we need these posters (the name Mondo also grates). I’ll give this poster for Tod Browning’s Dracula a pass though. [...]

Blu-ray Review: Terence Fisher’s THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH With Christopher Lee

The Man Who Could Cheat Death is an all but forgotten Hammer film from 1959. Terence Fisher’s horror may not be Hammer at its best but it does have enough intriguing elements (and Christopher Lee) to make it watchable. Anton Diffring is Georges [...]

Review: Werewolf Movie HOWL Has Enough Fun, Scares And Gore To Keep Horror Fans Howling For More

Watch M.Night Shyamalan Talk About THE VISIT

Movies In Focus isn’t a big fan of ‘found footage’ horror movies – but M.Night Shyamalan’s The Visit looks pretty good. It also could be a serious return to form for the director of The Sixth Sense (a movie that still holds-up today [...]

DVD Review: Thomas Jane And Billy Bob Thornton Face JAWS In The Woods With INTO THE GRIZZLY MAZE

Into The Grizzly Maze is a rollicking B-movie fun. The film sees Thomas Jane, James Marsden and Billy Bob Thornton face-off against one mean Grizzly Bear. Yes it’s Jaws in the woods – but how can that not make you want to watch it? Thomas [...]

Lily James And Sam Riley Have Undying Love In These PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES Images

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is a monster mash-up between Jane Austen’s classic novel and the horror genre’s monster of the moment. The fact that Seth Grahame-Smith managed to get the book published is one thing, but that a movie is on the [...]
