    The Hem (2025) Review – Found Footage For The Easily Pleased

    ByRichie Posted on2nd February 20262nd February 2026 Updated on2nd February 2026

    If found footage horror comes in a multitude of different flavours, Tyler Russell’s The Hem (2025) would be vanilla. A by-the-numbers tale of a haunted church and a spooky bride, it’s the kind of movie made for the undemanding horror fan who prefers familiarity over surprises. We take a look.

    Killer Whale (2026) Review – A Green Screen Disaster

    ByRichie Posted on22nd January 202630th January 2026 Updated on30th January 2026

    Killer Whale (2026) continues the January tradition of terrible aquatic horror movies. Despite a committed performance from Virginia Gardner, this seasploitation flick is sunk by abysmal green screen effects, a remedial script, and a surprisingly boring narrative. Read our full review to see why you should stay on dry land.

    Horror in the High Desert 4: Majesty (2025) Review – A Threadbare Sequel

    ByRichie Posted on20th January 202620th January 2026 Updated on20th January 2026

    Horror in the High Desert 4: Majesty attempts to expand the franchise’s lore with a generational mystery, but the result is a tedious exercise in diminishing returns. With “vintage” footage that looks distractingly digital and a runtime padded by endless walking, this fourth entry offers zero scares and even less narrative progression. Read our full review to see why this franchise is running on fumes.

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

    ByRichie Posted on8th January 202614th January 2026 Updated on14th January 2026

    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.

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

    ByRichie Posted on18th December 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    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 Posted on17th December 20252nd January 2026 Updated on2nd January 2026

    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.

    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.
