The Dunwich Horror (Directed by Daniel Haller) Cinema has a difficult relationship with the works of H.P. Lovecraft, with Stuart Gordon only making something of a credible movie impact with his adaptations (“Reanimator”, “From Beyond”). And whilst it’s not entirely successful (mostly due to a lack of budget and not imagination), this ambitious re-telling of the author’s creepy short story deserves some attention. Director Haller had previously made another Lovecraft film in 1

The Haunted House of Horror (Directed by Michael Armstrong) Sometimes called “Horror House” or “The Dark”, this does-what-it-says-on-the-tin film is often overlooked in the annals of psycho and slasher movies.

HERE HE TALKS ABOUT HIS FAVOURITE HORROR OF ALL TIME, DAVID LYNCH'S LOST HIGHWAY. I know that it isn't exactly a horror movie, but, in my opinion, David Lynch's "Lost Highway" has some of the most scary scenes I've seen in cinema history and the best part of it is that these scenes don't in

Escape Room (Dir: Adam Robitel) 4th January Six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Although Director Adam Robitel's 'Insidious 4' was ok, we're hoping he recaptures the magic of The Taking of Deborah Logan in his newest genre feature. Escape Rooms are all the rage too now apparently so it could be a match made in heaven. Happy Death Day 2U (Dir: Christopher Landon) 14th February Tree Gelbman discovers that dy
