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 […]
‘God Told Me To’ is a low-budget horror movie 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 showing the […]
‘Q’ aka ‘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. The film opens with a window cleaner on the side of a New York high-rise […]
‘The Stuff’ is a 1985 Science-Fiction-Horror-Comedy film written, directed, and executively produced by Larry Cohen. If you’ve never seen it, I can only describe ‘The Stuff’ 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 […]
‘Odd Thomas’ is a film based on the book by Dean Koontz about a young psychic named Odd who can see spirits and demons. This hidden realm though invisible to most people, is intrinsically linked with them, and Odd uses his gift to protect the people around him. […]

‘Imperium’ tells the story of an undercover FBI Agent named Nate Foster who infiltrates a far right organisation in order to thwart a dirty bomb plot. Daniel Radcliffe is perfectly cast as Nate; the small, unassuming, bookish, somewhat introverted yet intelligent loner, and he is the main reason […]
A film doesn’t always have to be a high-brow, high-concept, award-winning masterpiece, sometimes a movie just has to be entertaining and nothing else. The 1984 science fiction movie Trancers is exactly that – it’s low-budget, it’s tacky, it’s rough around the edges, but overall it’s watchable and it’s […]
Spotlight is a true story about a small team of journalists working for the Spotlight column in the Boston Globe newspaper who exposed the cover-up of widespread sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. This is a film which was highly praised when it was released and it also […]
Koyaanisqatsi is a great film that’s like nothing else you’ve ever seen, it is usually labelled a documentary for easy categorisation, but it’s anything but. To call it a documentary is a misnomer, the film is free from narration, it’s almost devoid of narrative, and it could even […]
The 80’s were a time of opposites, on one side there was Reganomics, the Crack Epidemic, Thatcher, Yuppies, and Cold War scaremongering, and yet at the same time it was a great decade for kid’s films, computer games, and music. WarGames was a fantastically well-suited convergence of this […]
It is extremely rare for a film with B-Movie aesthetics to be a timeless classic, it’s even more rare when a film which contains corny one-liners is important to cinema and society. John Carpenter’s They Live is just that; an oxymoronic, crude yet brilliant Science Fiction masterpiece, and […]
