The Blair Witch Project (1999): A Review

People are still asking Google if The Blair Witch Project was real. The answer is no. It did not happen. No campers were declared missing after a camp-out in the woods. But this is not what the marketing at the time would have you believe. Potentially due to the Mandela effect…

Evil Toons: A busty B movie made on an itsy-bitsy budget!

In Evil Toons, four young women are hired to do deep cleaning of a house. Of course, it isn’t just any house – it’s an old, abandoned house with a sordid past! And at the risk of sounding like a Marks and Spencer advert, the four women aren’t just any four women either – they’re four very attractive and very seductive sorority sisters!

Arachnophobia: An Arachnophobe’s Review

As an arachnophobe myself, I must admit that it’s taken me a while to finally muster up the courage to watch Arachnophobia! The thought of seeing the creepy, furry, leggy spiders – especially en masse – jumping out at me from the TV screen?! No thank you!

Braindead (aka Dead Alive): Dead Good

Peter Jackson’s Splatterpunk horror-comedy masterpiece Braindead is truly a sight to behold. Evil Dead-esque zombies, an unhealthy mother-son dynamic, a Kung Fu priest, a stop-motion monkey-rat hybrid, a Klownzilla final boss, unmatched gore and brutality, and a killer sense of humour – this film has everything, but uncommonly does everything well!

The Frighteners: The Ghostly Gainsaying Amusement Ride

Peter Jackson’s 1996 film The Frighteners is very much a typical ghost train at an amusement park. There are plenty of twists and turns, enough of which to disorientate you. Whilst not frightening (and not being expected to be frightened as you queue up), it may still be enthralling for any fan of the macabre. It’s fun for sure, but does it make sense?
