Reviewing the best (and worst) of horror, sci-fi and fantasy since 2000


The Body Stealers (1969)
Talky and dull sci-fi is one of the worst to come out of Britan in the 1960s.
Aug 29, 2024


Altered (2006)
Little-known gem of a sci-fi horror from the director of The Blair Witch Project.

The Gorgon (1964)
Solid mid-60s effort from Hammer is one of their best standalone horror films.

Night of the Big Heat (1967)
Can an alien invasion be stopped by the legendary pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee?
May 30, 2024


Gamera: The Giant Monster (1965)
Middling attempt to create a rival to Godzilla, which was successful enough to spawn a whole franchise. This is not great however!
Apr 1, 2024


Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966)
Godzilla battles the giant crustacean Ebirah and a terrorist organisation called the Red Bamboo in one of the series' weakest films.

The Flesh & The Fiends (1960)
Fantastically underrated retelling of the Burke and Hare murders with star turns from Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance.
Oct 1, 2023


The Mummy's Shroud (1967)
Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet in Hammer's third mummy movie.
Aug 22, 2023


The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964)
Hammer made virtually a remake of The Mummy, only without any of the things that made one that such a classic.
