Child’s Play (2019) Review

November 2, 2019 Ben

Child’s Play was a franchise in need of a reboot. The franchise had become a straight-to-home release staple and had completely lost its way compared to the fantastic original. From the opening sequence involving a disgruntled worker in the Buddi … Continue reading Child’s Play (2019) Review

Cult of Chucky (2017) Review

November 2, 2019 Ben

After Curse of Chucky brought the series back to the series slasher franchise it was originally, Cult of Chucky decides to take the series in a random, bold and very different direction that if handled well, could be full of … Continue reading Cult of Chucky (2017) Review

Curse of Chucky (2013) Review

October 23, 2019 Ben

It is a bold move to take a character which has been so over-exposed that it is no longer scary and rather than reboot and start again, change the tone of the film entirely and rebuild, keeping what has gone … Continue reading Curse of Chucky (2013) Review

Child’s Play 3 (1991) Review

October 23, 2019 Ben

A trilogy, of any franchise, is a good place to start branching out. The characters are familiar, the central idea of the franchise is established and it means that audiences should be more appreciative of a change or twist which will … Continue reading Child’s Play 3 (1991) Review

Child’s Play 2 (1990) Review

October 13, 2019October 13, 2019 Ben

Horror movies have been around for so long now that it is difficult to look past the obvious cliches. The Child’s Play sequel hits almost all of the classic sequel cliches but as long as you expect this and understand that … Continue reading Child’s Play 2 (1990) 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: The Faculty (1998) Review

October 3, 2018October 1, 2018 Ben

There is something perfectly 90s about The Faculty. Made at a time when slasher movies were back in vogue (due in to small part to Wes Craven’s Scream), The Faculty captures popular culture with a high-concept premise, young 90s newcomer cast … Continue reading Horror Month: The Faculty (1998) 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
