Girls With Balls (2018) – mini-review
Another piece of nonsense that I enjoyed watching. This French comedy-horror isn’t anything groundbreaking, and there appears to have been a bit of the story left on the cutting room floor but it hits the right spots – there are … Continue reading
Galaxy Of Terror (1981) – mini-review
I rather enjoyed this Roger Corman piece of nonsense – some great gooey deaths and fantastic over-acting made this a treat. 7 S-Points. Galaxy Of Terror is available on Prime Video
Forbidden World (1982) – mini-review
I usually like low-budget horror / sci-fi nonsense, but I found this a bit tedious. A lowly 4 on the Skelpometer for this Roger Corman Alien rip-off. Forbidden World is available on Prime Video
The Bar (2017) – mini-review
This Spanish dark comedy is a highly enjoyable and prescient look at what happens when a bunch of strangers are locked-down in a confined area. Let’s just say that the best of humanity isn’t to the fore! 8 S-Points. The … Continue reading
Bone Tomahawk (2015) – mini-review
A superb horror-western that runs at 132 minutes but never feels like it, even with the slow and steady pacing that it employs. Kurt Russell is magnificent and there are some truly shocking moments, even for the hardened horror fan. … Continue reading
The Vast Of Night (2019) – mini-review
Highly unusual take on the 50s ‘alien panic’ trope. Some impressive film techniques throughout but this movie didn’t connect with me. Maybe I need to revisit it with different expectations. 6 S-Points. The Vast Of Night is on Amazon Prime
Save The Green Planet (2003) – mini-review
A mental mash-up of genres that keeps you guessing throughout. Whilst there are some great scenes the multiple movie styles never seem to fully gel. Worth seeking out on DVD if you like Asian oddities. 7 on the Skelpometer. IMDB … Continue reading
Blood Machines (2019) review
Blood Machines is billed as ‘A Shudder Series’ which I guess it is, but that is a series of 3 episodes, with a total runtime of around 50 minutes. Whilst it is visually and stylistically arresting with an interesting central … Continue reading
Demons (1986) – mini-review
Superior grade mid-80s gonzo/schlock italo horror. Not for the uninitiated! Makes very little sense but there is a ‘horror movies don’t make people horrific’ subtext. Perhaps. 8 S-points. Available on Shudder
Pieces (1982) – mini-review
The cover of this tells you almost everything you need to know about this movie. Infamous in horror circles, this is a badly made movie that has some really gruesome and effective gore. It’s difficult to rate, as objectively it’s … Continue reading
