    ByRichie Posted on29th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    The zombie genre has been back from the dead for a while, but how many of us have checked out the chaotic J-Horror gem I Am a Hero? For Day 28 of our 31 Days of Halloween, we review this 2015 Japanese zom-com. It’s gory, zany, and packed with incredible practical effects, but does it get lost in the horde of other zombie flicks?

    Halloween II (1981) review: The sequel that started the splatter rot

    ByRichie Posted on27th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Today, we’re tackling the sequel John Carpenter famously wrote on a six-pack of beer: Halloween 2. This is the film that gave us the infamous ‘sister twist’ and turned a ’70s thriller into an ’80s splatter-fest. But is it still a fun watch? We dive into the film’s ‘war with itself.

    A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985) review – The franchise’s confusing black sheep

    ByRichie Posted on26th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    We’re diving into the oddball sequel sandwiched between two all-time classics: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.
    Born from a frantic, ‘anxiety-inducing’ production schedule, this is the film that famously threw out the dream-world rules (and gave us a killer parakeet). But is it just a rushed mess, or is there more to its legendary cult classic status?

    Saw 3 (2006) review – Brutal traps but messy writing

    ByRichie Posted on25th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Welcome to Day 25 of our Halloween review-a-day! We’re tackling Saw 3, the film that tried to be the end of the line. The traps get way nastier (gorno fans rejoice!), but does the story collapse under the weight of its own comically over-the-top flashbacks? Let’s dive into the ‘accidental’ trilogy.

    The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) review: A pointless, tension-free remake

    ByRichie Posted on24th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Hulu’s remake of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle lands with a thud. It’s about as vanilla of a thriller as you can get, feeling “far more like a middle of the afternoon style lifetime movie” than a big Huluween feature. We break down the terrible writing, the muddled characters, and the pointless side-parts.

    Triangle (2009) review – A mind-bending puzzle on the high seas

    ByRichie Posted on23rd October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Day 23 of our Halloween feature! Ever finished a film and needed to re-watch it immediately? That’s Triangle. It starts as a simple ghost ship story but transforms into a bleak, mind-bending puzzle that will leave you floored. This is one you really need to stick with.

    Scream (1996) review – The movie that saved the horror genre

    ByRichie Posted on22nd October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    Scream was the meta-slasher that saved horror in the 90s. But 30 years on, does it still feel clever, or has it become a victim of its own success? For Day 22 of our Halloween marathon, we’re looking back at the classic that changed the rules. Read our full review to see if it’s essential viewing or just a bit… 90s.

    The Strangers (2008) review – A chilling masterclass in home invasion horror

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

    Full disclosure: I wasn’t a fan of The Strangers when I first saw it years ago. But for our Halloween marathon, I gave the 2008 original another go… and it completely changed my mind. Join us as we revisit the film that made a simple knock at the door terrifying, and I break down what I missed the first time around in this slow-burn home invasion classic.

    Death of a Unicorn (2025) review – Killer concept, weak execution

    ByRichie Posted on20th October 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    A killer unicorn movie starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega sounds like a guaranteed b-movie blast. We went into Death of a Unicorn ready for carnage but found a tonally confused film that can’t decide if it’s a family drama, a satire, or a creature feature. Does the horror ever get a chance to shine through? Find out if this one delivers on its killer premise in our full review.

    Bring Her Back (2025) review – A gruesome, emotional successor to Talk to Me

    ByRichie Posted on19th October 20253rd January 2026 Updated on3rd January 2026

    From the creators of Talk to Me comes Bring Her Back, an ambitious and emotional horror film with some of the nastiest body-horror we’ve ever seen. While a bit muddled, it shows tremendous growth for the directors and stands as one of 2025’s best horror films. Read our full spoiler-free review
