Barbarian is the only film I have ever watched where I was rooting for a character who was an entitled rich asshole with rape allegations surrounding his name. Not because he was actually a cool, misunderstood guy, but because he was the most perfect kind of coward for a movie as willing to make you... Continue Reading →
Never been much of a Scream fan to be honest, which is odd considering what little I have seen of the franchise I have liked, and the fact that slashers are probably my favourite horror subgenre. Before this I'd seen only the original Scream and the first season of the Netflix TV show. Again, I... Continue Reading →
I originally titled this post 'Spooky Ghost Film!', but kept subconsciously reminding myself that, ghostly as this film may be, it's not very spooky. And when a film about a family being haunted and possessed by a dead mother so she can kill the youngest child of that family isn't scary... You might have made... Continue Reading →
There's no doubting this game is a classic. Based on the SCP website, a user-created community wherein people contribute files on fictional paranormal/supernatural entities being contained by the SCP foundation in a secret facility, SCP Containment Breach puts you inside that facility and lets a whole bunch of those things loose to kill you. Like... Continue Reading →
Halloween isn't over. It's frightful that I must start this epilogue to my review series with a reminder that we're still due a 2022 film called Halloween Ends, which will wrap-up the reboot of the franchise that started with the 2018 film. Rest assured, I'll be back to review that movie when the time comes,... Continue Reading →

After Halloween 2018 gave a solid, if quite derivative, attempt to return the franchise to form by honouring the best of the originals, Halloween Kills undoes that by repeating the mistakes of the original series' worst movies;...

Halloween, not to be confused with Halloween or Halloween, is a sequel to Halloween, but not to Halloween. Neither is it a sequel to Halloween 2 or to Halloween 2. Easy to understand, right? Okay, but seriously, Halloween 2018 does away with all of the sequels before it and instead concerns itself with being a... Continue Reading →
The Lighthouse is a film I was drawn to specifically because Willem Dafoe was in it. I'm not even a huge follower of his work; I know him from Spiderman, Aquaman, Death Note and Mr Bean's Holiday, which are (with the exception of Spiderman) probably some of his lesser roles considering how much he's done....

Unconventional is an understatement. For a franchise that seemed to have been retreading old ground over and over again with it's earlier sequels, you do have to admire just how bizarre and weird Rob Zombie was able to make this film with his new ideas on how the Halloween story should end, regardless of if...
