John Carpenter’s Halloween is a horror classic. Sometimes incorrectly credited as the first slasher movie (Black Christmas beats it by 4 years) Halloween is still genre-defining. Its popularity directly lead to all the Friday The 13‘s and various other “killer versus teenagers” flicks popular in the 1980’s and […]
Before Beavis & Butthead, Wayne & Garth, Bud & Doyle, Romy & Michele, and Jay & Silent Bob, there was Bill & Ted, a pair of teenage underachievers with Californian surfer-slash-stoner accents. The duo aimlessly (and innocently) navigated life whilst obsessing over heavy metal music. Bill and Ted […]
The Shining is a classic movie regardless of the genre it falls into. The film which is based on the Stephen King book of the same name, is usually described as a horror, sometimes as a horror-drama, but there’s also some thriller elements in there too. Stanley Kubrick […]
Critics have become the print equivalent of the boy who cried wolf; the amount of times they’ve declared a movie a “classic”, we the public have no idea if we should believe them or not. As usual, there’s been lots of hype leading up to the release of […]
The Rebel (also known as Call Me Genius) is a 1961 film starring the late, great Tony Hancock. Written by duo Galton & Simpson, the film is a comedy that brilliantly satirises modern art as well as “arty” types and even office workers. I was reminded of this […]

SPOILERS AHEAD God Told Me To is a low-budget horror thriller from 1976, written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen. The film opens with the sound of a choir and the Gregorian vocals along with an organ makes for a dark and ominous mood. There’s low camera angles […]
Q (also known as Q: The Winged Serpent) is a very underrated and underexposed horror movie. Written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen, the film is an entertaining blend of action, thrills, and old-school horror. This is a “Creature Feature” with a lot more bite. SPOILERS AHEAD The […]
The Stuff is a 1985 science-fiction-horror-comedy written, directed, and executively produced by Larry Cohen. If you’ve never seen this film, I can only describe it as an 80s update of a 50s sci-fi B-Movie. It’s a mixture of The Blob and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers and although […]
“12 Angry Men” is one of the greatest movies ever made and in my opinion it comes close to being a perfect film. The story centres around the twelve jurors of a murder case as they deliberate over the guilt or innocence of an eighteen year old boy […]
