Book Review – Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood
Rachel Bellwoar reviews Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood… Seconds isn’t the first film to create suspense around the appearance of a person whose face is covered in bandages. The Invisible Man did it. So did Eyes Without a Face and Dark Passage. Never are these films content to let the bandages stay on, […]

Video Game Review – The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
Shaun Munro reviews The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes… It’s not unkind to say that The Dark Pictures Anthology – Supermassive Games’ attempt to spin interactive horror game Until Dawn into a wider “universe” of stories – has proven itself a deflating enterprise so far. Neither Man of Medan nor Little Hope got close to capturing their […]

Apple TV+ Review – Invasion
Martin Carr reviews Invasion on Apple TV+… The word Invasion feels implicitly threatening. It suggests solid characters in crisis, an impending threat of global significance and most importantly conflict. Marauding alien lifeforms, threats to life and limb and earthly upheaval should all be on the cards. Some light vivisection and flashes of operating table mayhem might also […]

Video Review – Dune: The Unadaptable Story Fails Again
EJ Moreno with a video review of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune… Denis Villeneuve returns with another adaptation of a cult classic ’80s project, and it’s just as hollow as his previous film. Dune is quite stunning to look at but offers barely anything under the surface level. Is it a problem from the source material, or […]
