A nostalgic throwback to classic 80’s Horror weaving in Kubrick and Clive Barker nods but still maintaining it’s own independent heart, spirit and terror. Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski The Void revolves around a group of people who find themselves under siege in a hospital with an army of white robe wearing cultists surrounding the…
Get Out is a cool, entertaining movie. I had heard a deafening chorus of hype before walking into the theater (99% at Rottentomates; $135 million in 24 days), so my expectations were very high. Writer/director Jordan Peele has crafted a nifty and witty low-budget social satire masquerading as an occasionally violent psychological thriller; comparisons to…
Don’t Knock Twice is a horror film about a mother desperate to reconnect with her troubled daughter who then becomes embroiled in the urban legend of a demonic witch. This Horror film throws you through every single genre and moves a Horror movie can make you experience. Throughout the entire movie you are questioning…
Gore Verbinski’s sumptuously mounted horror-thriller A Cure for Wellness plays like a cross between Shutter Island and The Cell but not nearly as great as those two pieces of work, with various props borrowed from the bunker set on TV’s Lost (I don’t ever want to be reminded of that show again). As I expected,…
ADULT BABIES gets an exclusive reveal at Horror Channel FrightFest Glasgow 2017. The film’s creator, actress / producer Joanne Mitchell, star of BEFORE DAWN & BAIT answers 10 scary questions When did your fascination for horror films begin? I’ve been interested in horror since being a young kid. I liked to be frightened, whether it…
This is a disgustingly brutal and rather amazing film that never backs down or pulls any punches, going to some truly extreme places on a narrative and thematic level, resulting in an overall stunning piece of aesthetically ruthless exploitation cinema. I can still remember the first time I saw The Devil’s Rejects, and how utterly…

Indie horror Bite claimed that sick bags were handed out at the premiere of the film as it was claimed to be incredibly gory. Once the credits rolled at the end of the movie I was still waiting for a hiccup of bile or sick in my mouth, but nope. Nothing. In quite a tame…
I’ve got to say that during an opening of a movie I have never been happier seeing a couple being abducted on screen. I know it’s an indie flick and I know to always gauge my thoughts and opinions on a different scale than studio movies, but my god, what the hell was going on…
Costing just £15,000 to make The Slayers just goes to show that in the right hands, low budget doesn’t mean low quality as this film oozes with comedy, class and great-looking indie special effects that really surprised me and exceeded my expectations. Nigel and Job are both members of a cult who stall on their…
I’m not a horror movie guy. They don’t scare me, I’m always aware of cinematic artifice, and I find most attempts at “scary movies” to be cheap and obvious and boring. The Witch, however, is a cut above the genre competition, despite not really being the film I expected to see and avoiding certain horror…
The Lost Tree revolves around Noah who after a serious traumatic accident, leaves his old life behind and moves to an isolated cabin to start over but soon learns about the sinister past of his new surroundings. Instantly the movie visually looks like a drama piece, and depicts it’s surroundings to match the tone and…
There are very few horror locations able to live up to the unsettling air that surrounds the “little house on the prairie”. The claustrophobic density of trees engulfing a cabin in the woods is one thing but there’s nothing quite like the vast plains reaching out to horizon, impenetrable walls of crops for miles around…
Lake Eerie revolves around a young widow (Kate) who moves into an old house by the lake to escape from her troubles. The lake house has stood abandoned for over 40 years with the previous owner of the house (Harrison) a famous archaeologist who mysteriously vanished whilst on an expedition in Egypt. As Kate spends…
