Movie Reviews

The House On Haunted Hill (1959)

Campy family spookfest

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)

Fourth in Hammer's Frankenstein series is an interesting but misguided effort.

Vaada (2005)

Synopsis: Potentially gripping thriller goes horribly awry (again!)

The Vanishing (Spoorloos) (1988)

Superlative, gripping and ultimately shocking psychological shocker. DON'T WATCH THE U.S. REMAKE !!

Jaws IV - The Revenge (1987)

A quite amazingly stupid film... hilariously awful

Qayamat (2003)

Bollywood does the Bruckheimer thing - loud, mindless, orgy of violence

Khushi (2003)

Dreadful ham-fisted attempt at "charming comedy" - is anything but charming!

Madhoshi (2004)

A deliriously absurd but fun roller coaster ride full of amazing plot twists

Ilsa Wicked Warden (1977)

a fake rip-off serenading as an Ilsa due to Dyanne Thorne's presence

Goldmember (2002)

Third instalment of 60's 70's spoof has long run out of gas and charm

Targets (1968)

Superb thriller - All-American blue-eyed boy "snaps" with murderous results

Pulse (Kairo) (2001)

A mysterious website and a wave of suicides... creepy and effective chiller

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)

Finally, a Hollywood horror film that puts the "H' back into Horror! Top Draw

My Bloody Valentine (2009)

Classic slasher film given the 3D makeover treatment, but the results are resoundingly flat.

Rear WIndow (1954)

Hitchcock's biggest commercial bonanza

Sorority Girl (1957)

Bad girl Sabra lies, cheats, blackmails, extorts and drives folks to suicide!

Son Of Frankenstein (1939)

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964)

Superlative macabre shocker from Brazil's master of Cult....stunning!

Awakening Of The Beast (1970)

The ultimate descent into Mojica Marins’s unique vision of hell! incredible.

Willard (2003)

Bates-like outcaste finds unlikely friends and allies in murderous vengeance

Caligula (1980)

Shambolic rendition of Roman History served up by Penthouse in their inimitable style

Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Delicioius, totally deranged and sexually twisted plot of kiddie serial killers..Insane!

The Wolf Man (1941)

Another of Universal's classic horror films

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

Four sequels later, the Ape saga finally turns full circle.....dullsiville

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

A brilliant and intense horror classic... unmissable

Psycho (1998)

Needless, pointless, wasteful remake

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

unwelcome remake turns out to be a pleasantly gruelling experience!

Thunderbirds Are Go! (1966)

Lady Penelope, Parker and the Tracys save another doomed situation in the nick of time.

White Zombie (1932)

Bela Lugosi turns in a great performance in this classic horror film

The Antichrist (El Anticristo)  (1974)

Puke-spewing Italian rip off of The Exorcist is a groan-a-minute yawn

Urban Legend (1998)

Trashy horror near-classic is derivative of the Williamson flicks, but fun

Boom (2003)

Horrendous attempt at doing a Tarantino - easily the worst film of 2003!

Yaadein (2001)

all misguided, empty flair and pomp from the self-proclaimed showman

Yaadon ki Baaraat (1973)

Typical Formula melodrama elevated by music and "chemistry"

The Exorcist (1973)

Hugely controversial film, highly acclaimed Box Office record buster is largely viewed as one of the great movies of all time and the greatest horror film ever made.

Theatre of Blood (1972)

Delightful Campy horror with Vincent Price in top form
