Hocus Pocus (1993) Review

November 9, 2021November 7, 2021 Ben

As you watch Hocus Pocus you get the distinct feeling that they just don’t make films like this anymore. It treads a fine but very commendable line between horror and family fun which makes it very entertaining and a perfect … Continue reading Hocus Pocus (1993) Review

Halloween Kills (2021) Review

November 3, 2021November 2, 2021 Ben

When David Gordon Green directed the 2018 Halloween sequel to the 1978 classic, he actually managed what many would believe impossible, updating and staying true to what made makes John Carpenter’s original movie so iconic. It is with trepidation that … Continue reading Halloween Kills (2021) Review

Horror Month: Halloween (2018) Review

October 31, 2018October 30, 2018 Ben

Halloween takes a bold but successful move. For a well established and beloved franchise, it is a brave move to undo and wipe-away all of the movies that followed the 1978 original and treat this film as the only true sequel. … Continue reading Horror Month: Halloween (2018) Review

Horror Month: Halloween II (1981) Review

October 31, 2018October 30, 2018 Ben

There is a great idea at the centre of Halloween II that doesn’t quite work. Unlike many other sequels, especially ones with a gap as large between movies as this one, Halloween begins almost immediately after the last film. The Halloween … Continue reading Horror Month: Halloween II (1981) Review

Horror Month: Village of the Damned (1995) Review

October 17, 2018October 16, 2018 Ben

Kids will always be creepy. Be it their angelic voices saying twisted things or their ability to be places they shouldn’t be: they will always strike fear if they are involved in horror. Creating a village full of creepy, psychotic children … Continue reading Horror Month: Village of the Damned (1995) Review

Horror Month: Poltergeist (1982) Review

October 16, 2018October 15, 2018 Ben

Most horror movies want the audience to feel a familiarity with the events on-screen. The best way to get people feeling scared is if they can empathise with what is happening. This is why the first part of Poltergeist is spent … Continue reading Horror Month: Poltergeist (1982) Review

Horror and Zombies Month: Night of the Living Dead (1968) Review

October 15, 2018October 14, 2018 Ben

In the pantheon of zombie movies, Night of the Living Dead rightfully holds it’s place as the founding father. That doesn’t necessarily make it a good movie though. In fact, although the ingredients and founding principles for many a zombie movie … Continue reading Horror and Zombies Month: Night of the Living Dead (1968) Review

Horror Month: Halloween (1978) Review

October 1, 2018September 30, 2018 Ben

There is a reason that Halloween is such an iconic horror movie. The moment that theme starts, before any actual images appear on-screen, the chills begin to creep-up your spine. It sets the tone for the cold, unique opening as we … Continue reading Horror Month: Halloween (1978) Review
