Snowpiercer is a science fiction film released in 2013 written and directed by Bong Joon-ho based on a 1982 graphic novel titled Le Transperceneige. The film which stars Chris Evans, is a dystopian look at our future, it’s set in a second ice age where the world’s population […]
Hereditary is a supernatural horror film written and directed by Ari Aster. The film is hard to summarise as the plot involves lots of elements; the death of a family member, an accident and death of another family member, the associated grief, heartbreak, and despondency that comes with […]
There’s no doubt that Guy Ritchie’s films have been hit and miss; there was of course the classics Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch and there was the average-and-overrated Sherlock Holmes but there was also the downright terrible Swept Away and King Arthur. Seemingly abandoning tales […]
John Wick (now retroactively titled John Wick: Chapter 1) is an extremely overrated film. Released in 2014, it answered the question: what would it look like if a stuntman made a movie? Directed by stunt-guy Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad (who was also responsible for mediocre […]
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is a somewhat enjoyable action-thriller but it’s not as rewarding as most reviewers have made it out to be. After reading what all the critics had to say, I was assuming that this, the third in the John Wick film franchise would […]
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 […]

Upgrade is a highly enjoyable yet underexposed movie. It’s often billed as a B-Movie and of course, considering its production company (Blumhouse Tilt) as well as its relatively small budget (between 3 and 5 million dollars) I suppose it is. The label of “B-Movie” however, always sounds like […]

The Changeling is a very underrated horror movie. Starring the late, great George C. Scott, it tells the story of a composer named John Russell who witnesses the death of his wife and child during a winter vacation when a truck ploughs into them. John then moves into […]
Duel is a fantastic thriller, in my opinion it’s one of the best TV movies of all time and it’s arguably Steven Spielberg’s best film, in fact it’s a great movie regardless how you categorise it. If you’ve never seen it, Duel is a very straightforward story of […]
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 […]
