Thoroughly enjoyed that. Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls is created with the hallmark of someone with a deep love for the horror-comedy classics of the late 80s. You can see influences of Beetlejuice, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and Evil Dead 2, to name just the obvious. Full of practical effects and…
Gorefest action film. Sisu is the kind of movie The Gang from Always Sunny would love, in the classic traditions of Thunder Gun. Unrepentant, unreformed, unstoppable, ultramacho thriller. A film which refuses to let the laws of physics or what is medically possible get in the way of a good movie. A grizzled old gold…
“10 out of 10” said the guy next to me at the end, and have to say I agree. Absolutely hilarious, so much fun, a total delight. Smoking Causes Coughing is a bit of an anthology of little vignettes in a wrap-around story. It is about Tobacco Force, a kinda cross between the Power Rangers…
It’s creepy kids in a haunted house season, and our latest installment is The Cellar. Family moves to this big spooky gothic manor house with weird symbols all over it, and don’t think ‘let’s fucking leave immediately’. The daughter is the only one with sense, so she has to missing pretty quick. This leaves the…
I think this movie won Frightfest. In an Italy of 1943, a travelling circus delights people with its wonder and mystery. A magician, a dog-faced man, an electric girl and a man who commands the insects and wee beasties display their talents to a mesmerised crowd. Theirs is an age of innocence and wonder. And…
Monstrous is about a woman who left her abusive husband and is hiding out in a new town with her young son. Trying to make the best of a bad situation, her efforts are undermined when they begin to get visitations from a figure from the lake. This is kinda standard creepy kid in a…
Fucking hilarious! Went to see this with my diehard vegan sister and we both laughed all the way through. It’s about a couple who run a butcher shop, who take to killing and selling the flesh of vegans. I think what made this work so well was the core characters and their relationship. The plot…
As bad as theatre. Short horror film, it seems to be about a young woman regrowing her placenta from her back, which then generates into a new body for her. Or it could have been something else entirely, it was not clear.
Speaking of cartoon villains. Four escapees from an 80s frat movie are going mountain climbing when they run into two lassies. The lassies have heavy Women Laughing With Salad energy, and after a fireside swapping of homophobic jokes, the lead frat boy tries to rape one of the lassies. When he fails, he punches her…
That was bloody great! Witch tale from Ireland. Mary Laidlaw, known as Bloody Mary, is released on parole from her sentence for killing her husband. Her parole officer, Cathy, doesn’t want the media hype about her devil worship and human sacrifice to colour her view of her new charge. But Mary is super fucking creepy.…
