film review: You’re Next (2013)

August 30, 2013 // No Comment

Horror’s a difficult genre. You’ve got two main types of horror fans. Well ok, there’s all sorts of sub genres and all sorts of types but I’m breaking it down to two. Go with it.

film review: Underworld: Awakening (2012)

January 22, 2012 // No Comment

Kate Beckinsale is back in her PVC catsuit, corset and leather jacket for the fourth installment of the Underworld series, Underworld: Awakening. Actually, I didn’t know she had gone, I checked out of this franchise after the first film. Not that I’d hated it or anything. As far as I recall. I think it was […]

Have you ever watched a film and thought; I’ve seen this all before? Have you ever watched a film which tells you; You’ve seen this all before? Have you ever watched a film which tells you; You’ve seen this all before, in the films that came before this one in the series? Does that sound […]

film review: The Crazies (2010)

April 11, 2011 // No Comment

As you may or may not have noticed, I have been injected with a spurt of effort for the website lately. The new Clips and trailers section of the website seems to be taking shape and I’ve even managed to write some reviews lately. Unfortunately the “Releasing this week” segment has fallen by the wayside […]

March 31, 2011 // No Comment

If you haven’t heard of A Serbian Film by now then… you probably don’t want to. Just, you know, go and look at another review. Might I suggest this one perhaps? Ok, ok, I’ll tell you what it is. A Serbian Film is probably the most notorious film you’ve never heard of. Well actually, you […]

film review: The Reef (2010)

January 24, 2011 // No Comment

I’d heard about The Reef… vaguely. I’d heard it was a low budget Australian film about some people who get caught out at sea. It featured in the Horrorthon in the IFI in 2010. However, having not been a big fan of Open Water and being limited by funds, I skipped it… … Then I […]

film review: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

November 20, 2010 // 1 Comment

You may wonder why, after how little I thought of Paranormal Activity, I decided to see Paranormal Activity 2… Let’s just accept that I did and get on with the review. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Dublin when I pegged it down from The Barge to Movies@Dundrum to catch a half empty screening […]

feature: Horrorthon 2010 (IFI Dublin)

October 12, 2010 // 1 Comment

I have to admit, I’d never actually heard of the Horrorthon before this year. Considering it’s now in it’s 13th year, I really don’t know how that happened. The only explanation I can come up with for my ignorance is that, they don’t seem to promote themselves very much (apparently they don’t have to) and […]

film review: The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)

October 10, 2010 // 3 Comments

So the other day I mentioned on my own facebook that I was going to take a stab at watching The Human Centipede. Or to give it its full title, The Human Centipede (First Sequence)… apparently the writer/director, Tom Six has plans for a follow up. Anyway, a couple of people asked me to let […]
