The Terror – TV Review
I enjoyed Dan Simmons’ sprawling novel about the doomed Franklin expedition, and this handsome, well-acted adaptation does justice to the haunting story of 19th century Arctic horror and survival.
Late Night with the Devil – Film Review
A slow-burn found-footage horror flick that offers show business satire as well as a refreshing new spin on demonic possession.
Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King – Book Review
I felt like re-visiting this collection of four dark and disturbing novellas of varying quality, all centred around the themes of justice, complicity and retribution.
Knock at the Cabin – Film Review
This apocalyptic thriller is a disappointingly mediocre M. Night Shyamalan offering, a very silly movie that takes itself way too seriously and is neither great nor memorably awful.
Constantine – Film Review
I haven’t seen this superhero/horror flick since I first watched it back in 2005 and thought it was mostly meh. I was pleasantly surprised when I gave it a second chance recently, and discovered that it’s actually much, much better than I remembered.
Old – Film Review
M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller about a nightmare holiday on a beach where you age a year every 30 minutes is as entertainingly preposterous as I was hoping for.
The Exorcist – Film Review
By today’s desensitised standards, this horror classic – often cited as the Scariest Movie of All Time – is kinda dated, kinda slow and not that terribly scary. But its most notorious scenes and moments still have a power to disturb.
Rosemary’s Baby – Film Review
I just recently re-read Ira Levin’s chilling horror classic for the umpteenth time, so I thought I’d also look up the even more famous 1968 film adaptation with Mia Farrow.
The Birds – Film Review
