Attack of the Bat Monsters
A glorious revelling in the creature feature B-movie.
The Wanderers: The Quest of the Demon Hunter
A film about a vampire-hunter with an unintelligible Elvis drawl hunts a vampire chick in Transylvania. Running time was twice as long as it needed to be, maybe more.
Kissing Candice
An Irish film about a lassie whose epilepsy may or may not be giving her psychic visions, and a local gang of drooges who are responsible for the disappearance of a young boy. That being said, it feels like the film’s about nothing. I got bored very early in (although it felt long enough for…
Ghost Stories
Just walked home in the dark in knee-deep snow after pure shiting it at a horror movie at the GFT. That’s hardcore filmcore. Although not as hardcore as the GFF staff, some of whom slept overnight in the cinema so they could open – bravo! The director was supposed to be there since it was…
Vampire Clay
Just out of Vampire Clay, which does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a Japanese movie about man-eating clay, and that’s all you really need to know.

Beast From The East
The snow defeated the cinemas, but it didn’t defeat me! Home safe and sound after helping a woman push her car up a hill and stepping in a snow bank right up to my knee.
My Friend Dahmer
A dramatised biopic of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s teenage years. I’d say it’s probably best to come to this movie with no idea about who Jeffrey Dahmer is, and just see it as a character study of a disturbed young man missing opportunities to reach out for help. Otherwise, it is a bit unsettling watching…
The Charmer
An engaging film about an Iranian guy who tries to get his green card in Denmark but seducing women in the hopes of marrying them. It’s an interesting look at race and gender and power. For him, these white women hold his life in their hands, they can decide if he stays and prospers here…
How Victor “The Garlic” Took Alexey “The Stud” to the Nursing Home
A Russian comedy (not often you get to say that). Viktor is a supreme dobber who discovers that the father he assumed died in prison is in fact living with a spinal cord injury in a flat across town. His father is an even bigger dobber than him, so Viktor decides to pap him off…
