‘They’ve seen the future…now they have to kill it’… I’ve now got to the age where ‘retro’ releases focus on films I saw first time round, and latest to add to the list is 1992 Rutger Hauer sci-fi/horror/actioner Split Second, which I...

If, like me, you absolutely lapped up Birds of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn on its cinema release, the great news is the digital release has been shunted forwards due to the situation we all suddenly find ourselves in. If you...

OMID: “So, you want us to just sit here and wait to die?” SIOBHAN: “I want us all to stay on the boat until we are sure none of us is infected. It’s not my life, it’s your families – it’s your husbands, your babies. Blame me if you want,...

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 have a masked killer, killings aplenty, clueless...

I might as well put my cards straight on the table – I’m a big fan of Frightfest and all that they do. True, I’m not currently in Glasgow enjoying their March get-together (the simple truth is I cannot afford it) but the August event is one of the...

A love letter to 80s synth pop, the VHS generation and all things retro, Videoman is a real treat – by no means a horror film, but full of horror references and likely to delight fans of the genre. Put together by writer/director Kristian Soderstrom, this...
