WOW! Yes, it's in capitals, it isn't a mistake. I was completely blown away by this film; The Conjuring universe never disappoints. I have talked in my blogs about the key to a great horror film being the right mix of terror (the build up) and horror (the release) and this movie has nailed it, … Continue reading Film (Re)View – The Nun

It's taken me a while to post this review as I've been trying to work this film out and, to be honest, have come to the conclusion that there's nothing to work out. Slender Man is quite simply the product of nightmares and scare stories. Quite frankly, I think this is great. Isn't this, after … Continue reading Film (Re)View – Slender Man
I have a confession to make, I haven't seen the first one, but I have been reliably informed that you don't need to AND that the first one is better...Why? Because it is supernatural, whereas this one isn't. That raises an interesting question with regards to what scares people the most. If the young lad … Continue reading Film (Re)View – Unfriended: Dark Web
This is a question I often ask myself when I go to see a film which is touted as a horror, but as I sit there zoning out within about twenty minutes, I realise I’ve been duped, yet again, as it is clearly science fiction…or is it? This debate raised its head again, not too … Continue reading Is it Sci-Fi or is it Horror? More to the Point, How do You Tell?
Well, Scream Unseen certainly pulled out all the stops with this beautifully haunting tale about a family, driven into exile by a murderous and abusive father.

Of course, there are many women deserving of mention, but being a horror themed show, I … Continue reading Horrifically Inspirational…Women of Horror
