Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Scream: The TV Series… As we roll into the final few episodes Scream: The TV Series is gaining some serious momentum. Either putting Willa Fitzgerald through the Scream Queen wringer. Peppering the walls with Kubrick references, or employing strobe effects and pints of fake blood. Elsewhere however homages […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 6 Review – ‘Identity’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of The Strain season 2… Resurrected with an authentic chrome dome Corey Stoll is kicking arse and taking names. Since casting off his synthetic weave Ephraim Goodweather has found some cojones. No more the mild-mannered CDC executive. Now we have a lothario with germ warfare in mind. Having thrown […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Born’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of The Strain season 2… Once again I’m late to the party with fleeting impressions of episode seven. After another blinding forty minutes of television my conclusion is simple. The Strain was worth every penny they paid to adapt these contemporary tomes. Bouncing back and forth between ancient Rome […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘In The Trenches’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Scream: The TV Series… When a twist makes you swear out loud, then someone, somewhere, did something right. Especially if that curveball is proper ‘Heath Robinson’. If I’ve lost you just Google the reference. Name checking The Expendables, Maze Runner and Shawshank in the space of five minutes […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 5 Review – ‘Quick and Painless’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of The Strain season 2… After Season One’s endless exposition, The Strain is finally playing out like a hybrid espionage thriller. Ephraim Goodweather is heading the charge into uncharted territory, with Corey Stoll going full on Agent 47. While his mad as a mongoose missus pursues their son across […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Betrayed’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Amadeus Serafini is an anomaly. Part Christian Slater during his Nicholson phase, with a smidgen of Jason Patric pre Speed 2 and post Lost Boys. Noticeable only for his absence from my reviews, Serafini has floated around on the periphery having little impact for […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 4 Review – ‘Silver Angel’
Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The Strain season 2… My experience of Mexican wrestling movies is limited to Nacho Libre. That ‘comedy’ which proved to me Jack Black should stick to what he does best. By which I mean singing and Kung Fu Panda sequels. That The Strain opens on just such a […]
Scream: The TV Series Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Exposed’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Scream: The TV Series… Webs of deceit are quickly unravelling this week in an episode where no one gets killed. Now I know the premise rests on someone regularly biting the dust, but every now and again it’s good to clean up. There are no film references or […]
The Strain Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Fort Defiance’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of The Strain season 2… After last week’s personal epiphany I am pleased to say things remain unchanged. Despite a lack of flashbacks The Strain retained a certain momentum, which unfortunately highlighted another problem. It became abundantly clear that Ephraim’s son is a royal pain in the arse. Now […]
Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Reckoning’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Wayward Pines… In the penultimate episode of this ‘event drama’ things take a disturbing turn. With feelings running high, expectations weighting heavy upon Matt Dillon’s Ethan Burke and the towns folk out for blood, it was bound to turn nasty. As power starts slipping away from David Pilcher […]
