Faya Dayi, 2021. Written and directed by Jessica Beshir.

The Umbrella Academy – Season 3 Review
Shaun Munro reviews The Umbrella Academy Season 3… Releasing mere weeks after Netflix’s decent-but-overstuffed fourth volume of Stranger Things, the third season of the streamer’s hit superhero series The Umbrella Academy feels comparatively svelte and breezy, with each of its 10 fast-moving episodes mercifully clocking in at far less than an hour in length.

Video Game Review – The Quarry
Shaun Munro reviews The Quarry… If Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn confirmed the market thirst for horror-themed interactive video games, the developer’s efforts since has largely failed to capitalise on that promise.

Stranger Things Season 4: Volume 1 Review
Shaun Munro reviews Stranger Things season 4 volume 1… The belated fourth season of Netflix’s Stranger Things – arriving almost three years after the third, in part due to extensive COVID-related production delays – is a messy, fascinating beast. It’s a testament to both the expansive, large-scope storytelling and creator self-indulgence made possible when those […]

Shaun Munro reviews season 3 of Love, Death & Robots… Netflix’s acclaimed animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots is back for its third season, and while this collection of nine episodes is likely the weakest of the bunch to date, there’s still much to marvel at both in terms of its provocative storytelling and especially […]
Video Game Review – Evil Dead: The Game
Shaun Munro reviews Evil Dead: The Game… Asymmetric survival horror games Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game may have been rough around the edges – very rough, in the latter’s case – but each nevertheless creatively adapted classic horror movie IP to a medium they’ve traditionally struggled with. And now we have Evil […]
