Who’d have thought that in the same week I’d dislike a James Wan movie and like a Gerard Butler film? I’m no supporter of ol’ Gerry, but Copshop is an enjoyable B-movie action-comedy whoever you’re a fan (or not a fan) of. The plot of this picture goes […]
Judging by the audience at my local cinema, most of them were expecting The Night House to be a bog-standard horror, in the vein of other typically hollow haunted house flicks. Once people realised this was something different, I think quite a few of them were disappointed, but […]
Whilst recently watching Don’t Breathe 2 and re-watching Don’t Breathe, I was reminded of an old-school film called See No Evil, another thriller featuring a blind character, but this time, they’re genuine victims. Belonging to an unofficial subgenre of blind-thrillers such as Wait Until Dark (1967), Afraid Of […]
SPOILERS AHEAD I was rather disappointed after watching the remake of Evil Dead. In my opinion, Fede Alvarez stripped all that was fun and enjoyable from Sam Raimi’s 1981 original, and aside from the over-the-top, gore-filled finale, his attempted reboot was largely a lacklustre and overrated film. It […]
Wes Craven’s The People Under The Stairs is a fantastic horror-thriller, and arguably one of the director’s best movies. Also written by Craven, the story involves Poindexter, a black boy growing up in a poor neighbourhood in Los Angeles. His mother is dying of cancer and his family […]
Greta is an underrated psychological thriller directed by Neil Jordan. The film which stars Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Maika Monroe, received lots of overly-critical reviews when it was released but I found it to be highly entertaining. In case you don’t know, Greta is about a […]
Tailgate (also known as Bumperkleef) is an underrated Dutch thriller directed by Lodewijk Crijns and starring Jeroen Spitzenberger, Anniek Pheifer, Roosmarijn van der Hoek, Liz Vergeer, and Willem de Wolf. These names may mean nothing to you if you’re in, let’s say the U.K. or U.S. (for all […]
The Cell is an underrated science fiction horror-thiller directed by Tarsem Singh (or simply “Tarsem” as he was known back then). Originally a director of adverts, this was his directorial debut. The Cell is about a psychologist called Catherine Deane (played by Jennifer Lopez) who can enter the […]
Bug is a film that’s very underrated and even underexposed. Directed by William Friedkin, this isn’t one of his most famous movies, despite being one of Friedkin’s most original and memorable offerings. This is a film about paranoia, and how existing in an echo-chamber is detrimental to someone’s […]
Dario Argento has been responsible for some great horror-thrillers. His early films are not necessarily flawless but they’re classics nevertheless; they might not be heaving with edge-of-your-seat thrills but the constant sense of intrigue coupled with the dazzling visuals is a superb mix for the audience. With an […]
Quibi’s Most Dangerous Game is a very underrated TV or web series. I say “series” but it’s not really; each episode is under 10 minutes making the total runtime approximately two hours (127 minutes and 24 seconds to be exact). If this series was edited to remove the […]
Quibi’s The Stranger is another decent “web series” that’s been neglected by the public, in part because of the failed platform it appears on, but also because of the Netflix series bearing the same name. Quibi’s The Stranger stars Maika Monroe as Clare, a budding writer and “Orbit” […]
Although it may have formed part of this film’s pitch and it might be one of the main reasons for putting this version into production, the latest iteration of The Invisible Man is not a so-called “Me Too” movie. Unimaginative producers and bandwagonist critics may think any flick […]
