Fantastic Fest 2010: RED HILL Review

Red Hill is a straightforward modern revenge western that provides plenty of slick thrills and pacey action, with racial undertones and perhaps the most startling animal appearance of the year...if that's even a category. Police officer Shane Cooper (True... More »

Have we finally got a remake of SINGLE WHITE FEMALE?! A trailer for THE ROOMMATE.

Ok, so it's not actually a remake of that yuppie-in-peril classic from 1992, but it may as well be.Schlocky, brain-off fun with some pretty girls?Or painfully generic horror/thriller with souless, charisma vacuum leads? From the trailer, I know what it... More »

MOTHER UK Blu-ray Review

Bong Joon-ho's follow up to Host (2006) is an enthralling, tragic, mystery thriller which owes much to Hitchcock but ploughs its own distinct route to your emotions, as it explores just how powerful the bond between mother and son is.... More »
  

[REC]2 DVD Review

[Rec]2 follows the time-honoured tradition of sequels, by on paper offering us much more whilst actually delivering a far lesser experience. The original 2007 mock-doc horror thrived on its simple premise and pared down execution, with a single camera... More »
  

THE GRADUATE Blu-ray Review

What a superb film The Graduate (1967) is. No matter how many times I watch it, every line of dialogue, every scene, every song is spot on. It's a meticulously constructed, funny, truthful and uplifting coming-of age tale that's surely... More »

LAST NIGHT DVD Review

When you think 'end of the world' film, it's probably some special effects-filled multiplex extravaganza that pops into your head, no doubt with a certain guy named Roland involved somewhere along the way. Or maybe a pre-drunken ranting Mel... More »
  

Frightfest 2010: F Review

Johannes Roberts' F is a masterful, fresh take on the sub-genre of 'hoodie horror', featuring be-hooded kids laying siege to a school after hours. It's not the first British film to demonise today's youth, with the likes of Eden Lake... More »
  

Frightfest 2010: HATCHET 2 Review

Dario Argento's INFERNO Blu-ray Review

The second in Dario Argento's Three Mothers Trilogy, following Suspiria in 1977 and belatedly concluded with Mother of Tears in 2007, Inferno is an oft overlooked work from the director's glory days. Whilst Argento's trademark extended death sequences never quite... More »

CENTURION Review

After the overblown homage of Doomsday, there's really only one question at stake here - has Neil Marshall got his genre movie mojo back? The not so simple answer is "sort of". Once the brightest star of British horror, with... More »

PANDORA AND THE FLYING DUTCHMAN on DVD and Blu-ray

"The measure of love is what one is willing to give up for it" archeologist Geoffrey Fielding (Harold Warrender) ponderously recalls. So goes the crux of Albert Lewin's lush technicolour fantasy from 1951, now available on DVD and Blu-ray... More »
  

LE REFUGE Review

Like so many of François Ozon's films, Le Refuge (The Refuge) is a deceptively simple tale, slowly paced with subtle, unshowy direction. Mousse (Isabelle Carré) and Louis (Melvin Poupaud) are a wealthy couple, in love, but addicted to heroin. When... More »
