Elisabeth Shue and Terence Stamp headline this simian shocker

I'll level with you - Full Moon rolling out Corona Zombies is far too close to the knuckle for me - distasteful even. On the other hand I'm not one for censorship, so I'm printing the press release which...

Zach Galligan (Gremlins) won't be getting much sleep this May when Evil Little Things hit town!From director Matt Green, and starring Hannah Fierman, Courtney Lakin and Jonathan Horne, comes a...

I think it's a pretty safe assumption to say that Pamela Franklin is hardly a name that would trip off the tongue of most horror fans - certainly the younger ones at least. In fact, post some 1970s British...

Having been reared on slasher movies in the 80s and 90s – and still being partial to them to this day – I approached Trick with something close to a sense of excitement. A real throwback effort, we...

Here at Movie Ramblings towers, we took a look back at 'entertaining enough' sci-fi flick Screamers, starring Peter Weller, some time ago - https://bit.ly/2wB7h3J Granted, we were not the biggest fans of...

Fresh off its premiere at the Monaco International Film Festival a new teaser has arrived for Twilight Zone-esque short film Dear Guest. Here's the very simple synopsis: A couple checks into a vacation...
