Pulse (2001) mini-review

I’m usually a big fan of J-Horror and techphobic dystopia , so this looked perfect for me. It was so disappointing – started creepy with a great premise, but got so messy and confused I got bored. Shame. A lowly 4 S-points.

Videoman (2018) mini-review

One for fans of weird 70s Italo horror and stark realist dramas. So perfect for me then! Loved it. Rated 8 on the Skelpometer. Might be a 9 after I think about it for a while.

A Dark Song (2016) mini-review

A slow-burning, intriguing watch. A truly ‘occultist’ movie, no jump scares or torture-porn here. I liked it. I think!

A score of 8 on the Skelpometer.

Phase IV (1974) mini-review

Weird but compelling 70s Sci-Fi. I seem to remember seeing this when I was a teenager and it making me afraid of ants.

A Skelpometer rating of 7.

The Purge (2013) mini-review

Meh. Interesting idea that just degenerates into a standard home invasion film. Not sure how it made so much money and spawned the follow-ups.

5 Skelpometer points out of 10.
