DEDICATED TO THE HORROR GENRE
FILM REVIEWS
Hallow Road
Anvari's best feature since 'Under the Shadow'
Final Destination: Bloodlines
A reinvigoration rather than a revolution
The Surfer
Absolutely mad but weirdly watchable
Frewaka
An unsettling and confronting Irish folk horror
Dead Mail
An intriguing & grungy 80s crime thriller
Until Dawn
A popcorn'n'gore offering
Sinners
A surreal trip to the Deep South worth taking
Up Close / Blood Waters
Short film reviews
Drop
A stylish homage to the Hitchcockian thriller
825 Forest Road
An uninspired attempt at conventional horror storytelling
The Rule of Jenny Pen
An intriguing blend of black comedy and psychological horror
Death of a Unicorn
Surprisingly lightweight and sappy for an A24 production
The Woman in the Yard
Yet another divisive piece of elevated horror from a studio source
Bloody Axe Wound
A bit of a bloody mess
In the Lost Lands
Only for people missing the days of cheap Conan or Mad Max rip-offs.
Opus
Somewhat pretentious, slightly mad and missing a point
The Monkey
Another superior genre offering from Perkins
Elevation
A familiar but effective apocalyptic sci-fi actioner
Companion
Switched-on social commentary with a full battery and a sick sense of humour
Presence
A heartfelt and poignant take on the classic haunted house tale
Wolf Man
A sadly underwhelming and slightly mawkish take on the classic tale
Werewolves
A satisfying addition to the werewolf movie canon
Nosferatu
A rich and satisfying slice of gothic ham
The Damned
An atmospheric Icelandic folk horror
Out Come the Wolves
Decent but nothing to howl about
