Finding the perfect match is a hellscape in today's modern dating world. Let alone finding the perfect partner and the perfect parent for your future child, which almost feels as though we need to jump through hoops and put ourselves through endless games that, for the most part, lead us to nowhere.

In German Gore Master, Olaf Ittenbach's, Garden of Love (2003), Rebecca (Natacza Boon) is a grown woman with a mysterious past. Something horrible happened in her childhood, and the ghosts of her dead family are pleading with her to solve the mystery. This film drags the viewer on a bloody journey to uncover the secrets of Rebecca’s tragedy.

Sometimes the best horror happens in the space where reality and dreams (or nightmares) mesh. Slipstream, which is a term used more often in literature than in film, describes a story that has this dreamy, surreal quality.

The history of the zombie sub-genre is one of deep thematic potential. Whilst sometimes it’s undoubtedly fun to enjoy a good headshot or effective practical makeup effects, the best zombie movies are the ones that say something.
![[Film Review] A Desert (2024)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1769849903159-4AW0HY78DWOU6JSBCQER/A-Desert.webp)
Following his decades working in film preservation, Joshua Erkman stepped behind the camera in his 2024 directorial debut, A Desert – a viciously bleak exploration of fading optimism in the US, urban paranoia, and decay set in a nightmarish world that is almost too much to look at.
![[Film Review] Primate (2026)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1769671865937-O45HQB0QV31RG2HSQVLJ/PRIMATE.jpg)
There is a special place in many horror fan’s hearts for animal attack films, something that truly digs deep into that evolutionary terror that we are not the apex predator in most situations. Primate (2026) delves into this fear with an enthusiasm that knows no bounds.
![[Film Review] Return to Silent Hill (2026)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1769672582439-C8RQWP3CYUW1JX4ZRNLE/RETURN+TO+SILENT+HILL.jpg)
The life of a Silent Hill fan is a turbulent one. For every Silent Hill 3, there’s a Silent Hill: Homecoming. For every Silent Hill 2 Remake, there’s a Silent Hill: Ascension. For every Silent Hill f, there’s a Return to Silent Hill, and thus, the pendulum continues to swing, this time into frustrating - but expected - disappointment.
![[Film Review] Flights of Reverie (2025)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1769111579457-CTUW03G3J34P6SFRWWEM/flights-of-reverie-filmstill-ornithologist-berlin-li-wallis06.jpg)
What if evolution wasn’t finished with us? That’s the question at the heart of Flights of Reverie (2025), the feature debut of director Li Wallis. The film sees British ornithologist Jack Hastings (John Dooley) travel to Berlin, which has been gripped by paranoia following several mysterious deaths.
![[Film Review] Confessions in Static (2025)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1768397467245-3KOF3LUBRDQVJ8QVDONA/Confessions_Key_Alternate_1920x1080.png)
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)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe76a518d20536a3fbd7246/1768232505839-TS9K7YBLOXNQML8PUWTP/Screenshot+2026-01-12+at+15.17.49.png)
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.
