Blu-ray Review: BRAIN DEAD Is A Quirky Cult Horror Classic From Director Adam Simon

Director Adam Simon‘s Brain Dead is a gloriously mind-bending delight. A brain-scratcher of a psychological horror, the 1990 film is gory, funny and weirdly complex – especially considering it comes from legendary schlockmeister Roger [...]

Remembering The Cinematic Atrocity That Is MOVIE 43

Movie 43 totally beefed-it at the box office during its theatrical release in 2013 but its $6 million budget mean that it tuned a profit after grossing $8.8 million at the US box office and $32.4 million globally. This comes despite a top tier [...]

The BASTERDS Have Landed

Movies In Focus revisited Quentin Tarantino‘s 2009 film Inglorious Bastards for the first time in maybe eight or nine years. I remembered the two big stand-out scenes – the opening sequence and the tavern stand-off and they both hold-up [...]

DVD Review: The Lack Of Humour In MOVIE 43 Is No Joke

Movie 43 arrives on DVD with low expectations. The anthology comedy received disastrous reviews and it totally beefed-it at the box office during its theatrical release. This ravaging comes despite a top tier cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Kate [...]

DVD Review: THE DEVIL’S BUSINESS Plays Like An Episode Of The Twilight Zone Or Tales of the Unexpected

The Devil’s Business is a short and sweet British chiller, which delivers on all fronts. Writer/director Sean Hogan shows great promise, with this creeping old-fashioned Satanic drama, which at just 69 minutes, plays like a first rate episode of [...]

DVD Review: Mark Hamill Takes To The Skies In AIRBORNE

Airborne is a British comedy/horror film that is totally preposterous, but it has enough charm to make it worthwhile. It also has a screen appearance from Star Wars star Mark Hamill – and that makes it unmissable. I’ve always liked Hamill’s [...]
