DEDICATED TO THE HORROR GENRE
FILM REVIEWS
Shelby Oaks
An undemanding slice of American horror pie
Black Phone 2
A worthy sequel
Vicious
A mixed (but gory) bag
The Man in the White Van
A suspense filled (but somewhat tame) game of cat and mouse
Good Boy
A surprisingly creepy treat
The Drowned
A very watchable phantasmagorical horror
Him
Flawed...but sort of bold and ingenious
The Strangers: Chapter 2
Slightly more bearable than the first
The Holy Boy
A restrained, atmospheric meditation on grief and suffering
The Long Walk
A couldn’t-be-better adaptation of its source material
The Conjuring: Last Rites
The horror equivalent of a cosy crime story
Strange Frequencies
An inferior but not wholly ineffective remake
The Toxic Avenger
A little bit more than just a pile of radiated sludge
Together
An obvious love story with the usual tropes
Weapons
Another innovative crowd-pleaser from Zach Cregger
Jurassic World: Rebirth
Enjoyable but they didn't knock it out of the park
Bring Her Back
A brutal sophomore feature from the Philippous
M3gan 2.0
A brash and kitschy sequel that’s an absolute mess and loses its horror heritage
28 Years Later
An impressive continuation of the 28' franchise
Clown in a Cornfield
Fun but slightly uneven
Dangerous Animals
A thrilling serial killer/creature feature mashup
The Ritual
A watch-it-and-forget-it affair that has a Conjuring-Lite flavour
Fear Street: Prom Queen
An uninspiring return to Shadyside
Hallow Road
Anvari's best feature since 'Under the Shadow'
Final Destination: Bloodlines
A reinvigoration rather than a revolution
