[Film Review] Confessions in Static (2025)

Confessions in Static is an exploration of the True Crime genre, and its ethics and effects on society, but it fails to deliver that message in a satisfying or novel way.

[Film Review] Stalker (2025)

Overall, Stalker is a pretty solid short film with some very tense moments and an excellent performance from its lead actress. It’s not perfect, and some of the deeper stuff went over my head, but I’m glad I watched it. I think it’ll stick with me for a while, even if I’m still not sure what it all meant.

[Film Review] Bone Lake (2025)

There is something paradoxical about the idea of a weekend getaway, searching for comfort by taking ourselves out of our comfort zones. Perhaps the change of scenery, a disruption in routine, an escape from the pressures of our daily lives, will reveal to us a path towards solitude.

[Film Review] 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

The Bone Temple is the sequel to 28 Years Later that we deserve. Director Nia DaCosta took the beauty and spectacle that Danny Boyle gave us with 28 Years Later and turned it up to eleven. It’s darker, more disturbing and more… camp? Deliciously, delightfully camp.

[Film Review] Pelverata (2025)

The atmosphere seeping from every pore of this film is certainly its biggest strength; however, the narrative and structure fall quite short of the intended impact.

[Film Review] A study of the human ability to endure self-inflicted pain in XXXDarknet: Red Lips

According to the opening credits of the film, the Darknet is a place feverishly depraved to the point of questioning if humanity even exists, with a slathering of heinous crimes committed all for the purchase and pleasure of the sick individuals that find themselves beholden to their inner most sadistic wants.

[Editorial] Soho Horror Film Festival: Interview with Aimee Kuge on Cannibal Mukbang

Films that blend horror with romance always fascinate me; add a niche contemporary setting that I’ve never heard of before and I’m hooked. Cannibal Mukbang was made by Aimee Kuge, a young woman from New York, and I was privileged to spend a little time talking with her over Zoom…

[Event Review] Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody (2023)

For any horror fan, a musical parody of the Saw franchise would be a treat. But a very campy, very queer musical reimagining of the plot? Now that's a little piece of heaven.

[Book Review] The Book of Queer Saints Volume II (2023)

[Mother of Fears] Mothering in Silence in A Quiet Place (2018)

A Quiet Place (2018) opens 89 days after a race of extremely sound-sensitive creatures show up on Earth, perhaps from an exterritorial source. If you make any noise, even the slightest sound, you’re likely to be pounced upon by these extremely strong and staggeringly fast creatures and suffer a brutal death.

[Film Review] Sympathy for the Devil (2023)

If you know me at all, you know that I love, as many people do, the work of Nic Cage. Live by the Cage, die by the Cage. So, when the opportunity to review this came up, I jumped at it.

[Event Review] Highlights from Mayhem Film Festival 2023

Have I told you about Mayhem Film Festival before? It’s a favourite event of mine, so I’ve blurted about it in anticipation to many people I know. The event has just passed, so now is the time to gush its praises to those I don’t know.

[Film Review] V/H/S/85 (2023)

When V/H/S first hit our screens in 2012, nobody could have foreseen that 11 years later we’d be on our sixth instalment (excluding the two spinoffs) of the series.

[Editorial] Mayhem Festival: Interview with Thomas Sainsbury on Loop Track (2023)

Loop Track, Thomas Sainsbury’s directorial debut, has such a sparse description that it’s really difficult to know what you’re stepping into when it starts. It’s about Ian (played by the director), who is taking a trek through the New Zealand bush….

[Film Review] Kill Your Lover (2023)

When someone is in a toxic relationship, it can affect more than just their heart and mind. Their bodies can weaken or change due to the continued stress and unhappiness that comes from the toxicity.

[Editorial] Keeping Odd Hours: A Retrospective on Near Dark (1987)

For a movie that doesn’t even mention the word “vampire” once throughout the length of the film, Near Dark (1987) is a unique entry in the vampire film genre.

[Editorial] “I control my life, not you!”: Living with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and the catharsis of the Final Destination franchise

I can sometimes go months without having a panic attack. Unfortunately, this means that when they do happen, they often feel like they come out of nowhere. They can come on so fast and hard it’s like being hit by a bus, my breath escapes my body, and I can’t get it back.
