For my first major movie review of 2024 I give you David Ayer’s “The Beekeeper”, staring perennial action hero Jason Statham and with notable support from Jeremy Irons, Emmy Raver-Lampman and Josh Hutcherson. This is the only major release in January, but that isn’t entirely unusual since January is a notoriously bad month for the …
Welcome to the January 2024 review round up. This is a new feature where I put together multiple, shorter reviews of recent releases on one page. I will still do full reviewers for larger releases, so these will mostly be smaller movies you probably haven’t even heard of, but may come across on streaming and …
Yes, you read the title correctly. It’s time to dive into the world of modern B-Movie horror with this ridiculous horror comedy from Full Moon Features. If you know the name, you will know this is Charles Band’s company, so this is a studio (In one form or other) that have been making low budget …
For today’s review I’m stepping away from horror and film noir and checking out the recently released “The Equalizer 3”. This sees star Denzel Washington reunite with his favourite director Antoine Fuqua for the third installment in his race swapped Equalizer reboot series. I never really figured out why they decided to make the first …
Back in the 1980’s, every teenager and young adult in the UK knew the term “Video Nasty”. We were into a period of boom for the horror industry and specifically for low budget direct to video horror. Producers like Charles Band would be pumping out two horrors a year (One for theatres and one direct …
Just because October is over, doesn’t mean I’ve stopped watching and reviewing horror movies. This particular one I originally planned as part of my October Challenge, but I swapped it out for “Five Nights At Freddy’s” at the last minute. So this is somewhat late review of “Smile” from 2022. Newcomer Parker Finn writes and …
For the penultimate review of my 2023 October Challenge I’m checking out the long anticipated and recently released “Five Nights At Freddy’s”. This is of course based on the hugely successful survival horror video game series from 2014 onwards. So disclaimer up front: Although I own the first few games, I never got around to …
Tonight’s October Challenge Review is the recently released independent horror film “Nefarious”. Directed by the combo of Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon and based on the novel “A Nefarious Plot” by Steve Deace. This isn’t a combo I would usually expect to entertain me as they’ve mostly done religious movies in the past, but I’d …
For tonight’s October Challenge Horror review I’m checking out the Black Comedy Horror “12 Hour Shift” from Brea Grant. This stars long time Horror pro Angela Bettis, who I’ve been a fan of ever since watching Lucky McGhee’s “May” (2002). A talented actress that seems to struggle to find quality films to be in but …
Last October I was introduced to Brandon Cronenberg, son of David Cronenberg through his movie “Infinity Pool” (2022). While it wasn’t one of my top films of the year, I was impressed by Brandon’s style and interested by both the similarities and differences with his father. So for this years Halloween Challenge I had a …
