“Imagine Louis Theroux meets the Manson Family…” Conor Boru With so much blood it’s even gushier than a BAFTA ceremony full of luvvies, serial killer mockumentary When The Screaming Starts has a particularly British sensibility to it, what with its David Brent-like main character, Aidan, who wants to become a mass murderer, the campervan-driving documentary… Writer-director Conor Boru on his murder mockumentary When The Screaming Starts Read More

A wannabe serial killer, a warped filmmaker, and a murderous cult on a blood-soaked rampage. When The Screaming Starts is a darkly comic tale of how far we will go in order to achieve our ambitions. *** My review is now live — plus read my interview with director and co-writer, Conor Boru *** I’ve seen the… Teaser trailer: Comedy horror mockumentary When The Screaming Starts Read More
Risen trailer kneads together my two favourite genres
Something’s healing, but I don’t think it’s nature… It looks like comets and zombies to me, though these are more human shells with some other entirely new lifeforms created in them (or from them?) Still Army Of The Dead had robot zombies so I think these ones count as members of the undead. Every lifeform… Risen trailer kneads together my two favourite genres Read More
Werewolves Within: order of deaths!
Who is the Beaverfield werewolf? Is miserable Emerson Flint a misanthrope lycanthrope? What about postperson Cecily, the mythical seventh child? Or Trisha the crazy maple syrup lady (though that would mean she ate her own dog)? Could it actually be ranger Finn, the affable incomer? Only two people and one dog are actually killed by… Werewolves Within: order of deaths! Read More

And if that sounds like hyperbole, can I point out that hyperbole is probably one of the few words I have been pronouncing correctly (hi-PERR-bol-ee, bol-eev it or not). “We are so much more than our names,” purrs Gerard Butler’s lusty count sexily in Dracula 2000. I mention him because, well, I always do if… The horror! Something else I’ve been mispronouncing for literally my whole life Read More
M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” trailer drops, slowly like me getting out of a chair
A group of adults and children head to a gorgeous, secluded beach for the day, only to discover they appear to be ageing super-quickly before their eyes, a bit like me when my child tried to explain Roblox. Pre-teens are suddenly adults, the body of a young woman decomposes in record time. The day before… M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” trailer drops, slowly like me getting out of a chair Read More
Louder for the people at the back: new trailer for A Quiet Place Part 2
I literally forgot all about A Quiet Place 2 after we went into Lockdown in March 2020 — maybe my subconscious at work once we were sheltering from a new foe outside, or maybe Bond 25 and TENET were filling up all the “release date leapfrogging” space — though this trailer has brought it all… Louder for the people at the back: new trailer for A Quiet Place Part 2 Read More

The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though?
Very spoilery, so read on to find out about the film’s meaning, the ending, what I like to think happens next, and also what the Deirdre / Mike / Ken love triangle from Coronation Street has to do with all this. (You can read my 3.5/5 review here.) “Thirty years of been dutiful, obedient, supportive… The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though? Read More
The last resort they’ll ever visit? Trailer for vacation horror The Resort

The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland
Very spoilery, if you don’t already know that children’s parties tend to end in mayhem. (My review of the film is here.) “He’s not trapped in here with them – they’re trapped in here with him!” If you after the kind of lockdown palate cleanser that burns off the whole inside of your mouth then… The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland Read More
The film club watches Dog Soldiers – winalot or pedigree dumb? 5 stars
After re-watching Dog Soldiers it took me five days to venture back into the woods to walk the dog, and I made sure Film Club Liz came with me. I’ll not be hiking through the Scottish Highlands any time soon though, which joins the Yorkshire Moors and deserted late-night London Underground stations on my werewolf… The film club watches Dog Soldiers – winalot or pedigree dumb?
