Horror Movie Reviews

Killing Ground is a visceral, mean-spirited entry into the Australian survival-horror genre. A bleak and brutal experience that prioritises shock over substance.

Read our review of 14 Cameras (2018). Gerald the slumlord returns in this voyeuristic sequel that trades the original’s tension for messy slasher cliches.

13 Cameras taps into the very real fear of hidden surveillance. While Neville Archambault is terrifyingly creepy, the film eventually sinks under farcical logic.

Jamie Patterson’s Fractured is a game of two halves. While hampered by a cringeworthy script and dark lighting, its mid-movie twist breathes new life into a rote thriller.

Actor and Director Clayton Thompson gets lost in the woods and, unfortunately, someone found the footage. We review an incredibly dull survival horror – The Nothing (2018).

Michael O’Shea’s The Transfiguration is a bleak, urban reimagining of the vampire myth. A slow-burn drama that balances grit with a disturbing coming-of-age story.

Read our review of Uninhabited (2010). A beautifully located Aussie horror that fails to deliver suspense, tension, or believable lead chemistry.

Annabelle Comes Home is the cinematic equivalent of a haunted house attraction. A shallow but highly entertaining jump-scare fest that revisits the Warrens.

Ari Aster’s Midsommar is a staggering visual achievement. A sun-drenched, visceral relationship drama masquerading as folk-horror that explores the agony of grief.

Tate Taylor’s Ma is a frustrating exercise in wasted potential. Despite a standout performance from Octavia Spencer, the film is hampered by a terrible script.

“What if Superman was evil? That’s the question James Gunn’s Brightburn attempts to answer. It’s a gory, mean-spirited subversion of the superhero genre that delivers on the kills but stumbles on the plot. Is it a super-powered slasher worth your time, or just a messy disappointment? Let’s take a look.”

The Curse of La Llorona is a disappointing entry in the Conjuring Universe. A formulaic jump-scare horror that prioritises heavy exposition over genuine dread.
