    The Beldham (2024) review – A Visually Striking but Narratively Flawed Elevated Horror

    ByRichie 8th January 202614th January 2026 Horror Movie Reviews

    The Beldham is a beautifully shot but narratively messy exploration of generational trauma. While the ending is impactful, predictable horror beats and a weak script hold it back.

    ByRichie 21st December 202525th December 2025 Best Horror Movie Lists & Rankings, Festive Frights & Holiday Horrors

    Sick of the same old festive frights? I scraped the bottom of the streaming barrel to find 12 obscure, so-bad-they’re-good Christmas horror movies you’ve probably never heard of. Featuring budget-less slashers, luchador ghosts, and questionable acting, this is the ultimate countdown of festive trash.

    Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) review: A glossy but generic remake

    ByRichie 18th December 20252nd January 2026 Festive Frights & Holiday Horrors, Horror Movie Reviews

    Mike P. Nelson brings us a modern reimagining of the controversial 80s classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. With a drastically different plot and a polished look, can it capture the grimy magic of the original? We review this slick but ultimately generic festive slasher.

    Christmas Evil (1980) review: a surprising psychological character study

    ByRichie 17th December 20252nd January 2026 Festive Frights & Holiday Horrors, Horror Movie Reviews

    Christmas Evil is often mistaken for a cheap festive slasher, but this 1980 classic offers a visually stunning psychological study of a man’s mental collapse. We revisit this unique holiday horror to see if it stands the test of time.

    ByRichie 14th December 20252nd January 2026 Horror Movie Reviews

    A heist gone wrong turns into a never-ending nightmare in Manor of Darkness (2025). We review this British indie horror that blends a mockumentary setup with a Happy Death Day-style time loop. Does it overcome its sluggish start to deliver a knockout punch? Read our review to find out.

    Keeper (2025) review: Osgood Perkins at his most divisive

    ByRichie Posted on12th December 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Osgood Perkins is back with Keeper, and it is just as divisive as you’d expect. Visually stunning but undeniably “try-hard,” is this 2025 folk horror a dreamlike masterpiece or just a pretentiously boring slog? We break down the twist, the vibes, and the struggle to stay awake.

    Glamping (2025) review: Cold hot tubs & lukewarm thrills

    ByRichie Posted on5th December 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Tubi seems absolutely obsessed with social media influencers, doesn’t it? This week we are checking out Glamping (2025), yet another slasher where people care more about hashtags than survival. But does this one manage to bring anything new to the table, or is it just another hour of waiting for a kill while watching actors pretend to be famous? Let’s take a look.

    Destroy This Tape (2025) review: Authentic aesthetics, ruined potential

    ByRichie Posted on21st November 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Destroy This Tape (2025) kicks off with a unique “filmed on a potato” aesthetic that found footage fans might love, but quickly abandons it for a generic investigation thriller. We review this disappointing bait-and-switch that trades genuine atmosphere for a formulaic plot and an unlikable protagonist.

    ByRichie Posted on19th November 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Bryan Bertino returns with Vicious (2025), a horror film that pairs Dakota Fanning with a mysterious gift box. While the atmosphere is suffocating and the visuals are stunning, is there actually a story here? We review this visually gorgeous but narratively hollow thriller that feels like a short film stretched to its breaking point.
