I went on a bit of a run of Werewolf movies at the start of the year after my disappointment with “The Wolf Man” (2025). After watching six of them I felt I’d cleaned the bad taste out of my mouth, but I had several left over. Naturally, I set some aside for my October …
Time for this years first trip into the world of Italian horror. This is a movie from Gialo legend Mario Bava. If you’ve been following my reviews, you may recall me waxing lyrical about “Blood and Black Lace” (1964). After that I always planned to watch more of his work. I’ve actually only seen three …
Tonight’s horror review is “Puppet Master” from 1989. Shockingly I’ve never gotten on board with this particular horror franchise. I’ve seen enough clips to be aware of the individual puppets and the general concept, but never watched a movie. That gives me a lot to catch up on because there are fifteen of them (Including …
For tonight’s movie we’re heading to recent years and checking out 2021’s “Anters”. This is a horror movie from director Scott Cooper, who has given us a number of high quality movies including the excellent neo-noir “Out of the Furnace” (2013). Other movies of his include “Crazy Heart” (2009), Hostiles (2017) and more recently “The …
I was introduced to Hammer’s Dracula around about age ten. So for me Christopher Lee will always be my Dracula. So on the surface it may seem odd that I’ve never seen this sequel to 1958’s “Dracula” (“Horror of Dracula” to my US readers). But when you realize this is a sequel that features neither …
I watched and reviewed the first Wyrmwood movie for a previous October Challenge. If you read that review, you will know that I liked the film and gave it a recommendation. It was surprisingly innovative and very impressive for the shoestring budget. I found out about the sequel right away, but I held off watching …
Horror is booming. The entire genre has become a licence to print money and shows no sign of slowing down. That’s not to say every film has been a success, but the general rule of low costs and easy returns has made it most profitable. Horror and Anime are the only safe bets these days, …
A horror movie that got a bit of hype this year (Though not as much as “Weapons”) was Michael Shanks feature film directorial debut “Together”. Written and directed by Shanks (Not the Stargate actor btw), but designed as a vehicle for husband and wife actors Dave Franco and Alison Brie. This is a loud and …
I am only doing this for completeness. This episode was equal parts stupid, disappointing and predictable. This was about as bad as it could possibly have been. There were perhaps three bits that may chart a path to a marginal redemption, but if it does it will be too little, too late. The main thing …

Well, I wasn’t going to do single episode reviews for this show, but here we are. This one is going to be a bit of a rant because this show just jumped the shark. To be fair, it jumped the shark in episode two but I was willing to give it another chance. Now it’s …
