Midnight Meat Train takes no passengers

CLIVE Barker hasn’t enjoyed a hell of a lot of success in recent times when it comes to how his stories have been adapted for the screen. The horror author’s works provided the basis for a string of feature film hits in the late 1980s and early ’90s – Hellraiser(1987), which was based on the [...]

An American Werewolf in Remake … Sadly

REMAKE is becoming a real dirty word. Just about every time I hear it these days I shudder. What next? I think to myself. What movie next will those unimaginative, unoriginal producers of Hollywood get their mitts on.

Uwe’s Seed spawns Boll full of disgust

It just gets worse. I’ve seen three Uwe Boll films now. Three too many. I actually rented Alone in the Dark (2005), starring the washed-up Christian Slater and sagging Tara Reid, a few years back, and then stumbled across House of the Dead (2003) last year on late-night television. You’d think I would’ve learnt after [...]

RABBITS are supposed to be lovable cuddly little critters like the ones in that appeared in Alice in Wonderland, Bambi … and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? But, no, not these below.

13 Films Featuring the Lamest Robots

ROBOTS have been appearing in cinema almost since the birth of cinema itself.

Even if you haven’t seen the legendary silent-era [...]

Quarantine locks in chills, keeps out frills

FOR a movie I really only grabbed off the DVD shelf ’cause there was absolutely nothing else worth picking up, Quarantine was a surprisingly good scare flick. I had heard very little about the film so certainly wasn’t getting my hopes as far as a finished product goes. But the film, from director John Erick Dowdle, [...]

9 Movies Featuring The Creepiest Clowns

WHAT is it with clowns? They are supposed to be amusing characters who bring joy and laughter to people’s lives. But for some they do anything but. In fact there will be some people who will not even want to look at this post — and not just because it’s been compiled by yours truly [...]

Just one moment for clown Amusement

Can one scene make a movie? Not usually, and it certainly didn’t make low-budget straight-to-DVD horror Amusement. But there is one moment in this run-of-the-mill scare flick that could be classified as a genuine spine-chiller. Especially if you have an aversion to those things that dress-up in shiny colorful outfits, wear ridiculous make-up, sport crazy-ass [...]

Freddy to wake from Nightmare slumber

Everything old is new again in Hollywood – especially when it comes to horrors. Cult ’70s and ’80s slasher flicks being rebooted is becoming the norm. First it was the daddy of them all, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2005), then came Halloween (2007), then the recently released Friday the 13th and My Bloody Valentine, and [...]
