Uncovering Curiosities: Joe Begos’ BLISS

  Bliss is a wonderfully crazy gonzo 2019 horror film from cult director Joe Begos. It’s a gritty piece of punk rock cinema, a hallucinogenic vampire film which isn’t afraid to go to weird places (very weird places). It’s dark, nasty and it [...]

Notebook Reviews: END OF DAYS

Peter Hyams – 1999 End Of Days is a gloriously old-fashioned action movie from director Peter Hyams. This end of the century thriller plays like The Omen meets Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Arnold Schwarzenegger is great as the ex-cop battling [...]

Roman Polanski – 1999 Roman Polanski‘s The Ninth Gate is an entertaining (if superficial) horror–thriller. The film sports a great turn from Johnny Depp as a rare book seller who goes in search of a devilish tome. It’s a good [...]

Uncovering Curiosities: M. Night Shyamalan’s THE VISIT

M.Night Shyamalan’s The Visit was a film which saw the director beginning to refind his groove. It doesn’t deliver on the mastery he showed with The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and The Village. That was a fantastic run of features and [...]

Trailer & Poster: Neill Blomkamp’s Sci-Fi/Horror DEMONIC

Writer/director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) seems to be switching things up a bit and taking his unique brand of sci-fi and merging it with the horror genre. It’s not a totally unexpected change of events, as Demonic certainly fits [...]
