All the Boys Love Mandy Lane - Review

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane opens with one of the best deaths in slasher film history, a bold statement, I know, but it is incredibly mature in its execution and perfectly sets the tone of the film, making us realise this film is bravely made, and will not back away from the director’s vision.

Alien - Review

WARNING: Contains spoilers throughout.

This is the possibly most influential science fiction movie of all time. It was the first film to blend horror and science fiction and the first ‘realistic’ view of the spacecrafts as grubby, clunky machines that don’t always work. At the time of release, Alien was the first dark science fiction film to reach a wide audience. With the recent success of Star Wars and Star Trek, Alien’s tagline ‘In space, no one can hear you scream’ promised a very different experience.

Antichrist - Review

When I watched Antichrist, I cleared my mind of all things Lars Von Trier, I tried to get rid of all my prejudices for the films creator, but despite my best efforts the film was still a dog. I thought I’d either love it or hate it, but oddly it’s a film I’m fairly indifferent to.

Pulse - Review

Pulse is a really strange horror film for many reasons and as such is the first film in months (the last one being American Psycho) to leave me wondering quite what I'm meant to think - leaving me with both a huge deal of admiration and a pinch of dislike.

Killer Condom - Review

Killer Condom, the rubber that rubs you out, is a 1996 German horror-comedy starring Udo Samel, it’s one liners, it’s sleazy, it’s the most accurate DVD cover ever. Martin Walz probably directs straight from the comic page of Ralph Konig’s German originals. Udo plays gay, 13 inched detective Luigi Mackeroni is one of many sex-driven’s hard balled by a living, biting killer condom causing genital-al through Hotel Quickie in New York.

Begotten - Review

Warning: Mild Spoilers

Begotten can easily be described as "A Tale of druid human pain and suffering". It is in all breathing essence an atheism promoting film, even though it disguised itself as a rather religious film which is then disguised again as an art house slasher surrealist piece of cinema.
