DEDICATED TO THE HORROR GENRE
FILM REVIEWS
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
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
