Fear Street: Prom Queen – Sheer Disapointment [Film Review]

Following the hit Fear Street trilogy on Netflix in 2021—hailed by Bloody Disgusting’s Meagan Navarro as “the summer horror event of 2021”—you’d be forgiven for expecting a strong return with the fourth instalment, Fear Street: Prom Queen. However, this movie acts as the antithesis of Leigh Janek’s rip-roaring triumph. As a fan of the franchise, you’ll try your utmost to like this movie. But the onslaught of tedious mean-girl characters, bland narrative, and the garish ’80s references hamfisted into the paltry corsage that is this movie, will leave you regretting going to this party. This review aims to let you...

100% Match: Why Goodreads’ 3/5 Overall Score is BS [Review]

I will set the scene for you. I lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling. The air felt heavy, claustrophobic. The wind howled, buffeting against the outside walls of the house, throttling the eucalyptus tree in the garden with a violent grip. It was a cold and miserable night… and yes, I’m aware I sound like I’m listing every horror movie trope in the book! My perception may have been coloured somewhat because this was the first night in years that I had slept (or at least tried to sleep) alone. My fiancée—my 100% Match—was in hospital, awaiting an...

The Blair Rabbit Project (1999 / 2021) Review

Pickings for Easter-themed horror from the ’90s is pretty slim. During our research for the blog, we came across The Blair Rabbit Project (2021) on Amazon Prime that was truly intriguing. A film originally recorded during the same year of the film it parodies back in 1999, but restored for 2021, available to watch over 20 years later! The Blair Witch Project (1999) was a classic, but not without it’s flaws that deserve, playfully, to be poked at. Blair Rabbit‘s premise is pretty much the same as that of Blair Witch. Looking for the Blare Rabbit, a legendary mutant-rabbit monster,...
