We review Takashi Miike’s The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001). A singing, dancing, claymation-filled J-horror cult classic that makes Audition look tame. Is it a masterpiece of weird cinema or just a massive headache? Find out in our full review.
We review Caddo Lake (2024). Produced by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Dylan O’Brien, this swampy mystery features a massive central twist. Is it a masterclass in puzzle-box storytelling or just a messy pile of thriller tropes? Find out in our full review.
We are checking out a brand new body horror today and boy is it a slow one. We take a look at Control Freak.
We review Shin’ichirô Ueda’s One Cut of the Dead (2017). This low-budget Japanese zombie flick became a global sensation, but is it actually one of the greatest zombie movies of all time? Find out why you need to go in blind in our full review.
Confused by the ending of Outpost (2022)? You aren’t alone. We break down Kate’s descent into psychosis, reveal which characters were hallucinations (was Bertha real?), and confirm exactly who Kate killed in her paranoia-fuelled rampage. We also discuss the controversial depiction of CPTSD and the grim reality behind the “rabbit” scene.
We review The Bayou (2025), also known as Gator Creek. A group of students crash land in a swamp full of methed-up alligators, but is it a high-octane creature feature or just a dull trudge through the mud with terrible accents? Find out in our full review.
We review Outpost (2023). Directed by Joe Lo Truglio, this fire-watch isolation horror features Beth Dover and Dallas Roberts. Does it deliver on the lonely chills of its remote location, or is it just a messy trudge through predictable trauma tropes? Find out in our full review.
We review A24’s Heretic (2024). Hugh Grant delivers a sinister, career-best performance in this high-concept theological horror. Is it a masterclass in psychological suspense, or does a formulaic final act ruin the faith? Find out in our full review.
We review Into The Deep (2025). Scout Taylor-Compton and Richard Dreyfuss star in this low-budget shark thriller about modern-day pirates and sunken treasure. Is it a fun creature feature or just an incredibly boring trudge through shark-infested waters? Find out in our full review.
We review Drained (2025). This British vampire rom-com arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day, but does it offer a bloody good time or just a “lager lout” trudge through uninspired tropes? Find out in our full review.
We review #Manhole (2023). A Japanese thriller about a man who falls into an uncovered manhole on the night before his wedding and turns to social media for help. Is it a tense masterclass in single-location horror or just a farcical trudge through logic-defying plot holes? Find out in our full review.
Japan was, at one point, putting out some of the best horror movies the genre has ever seen. In 2025, that feels like a distant memory. But what happened? What happened to J-Horror?
