[Film Review] Lure (2026)

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.

[Film Review] I Know Exactly How You Die (2026)

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.

[Film Review] We Bury the Dead (2025)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.
