Skyline (Review)

Hunger (Review)

Day 1. Pitch black. One voice. Desperate. Weak. Confused. Alone. 1 becomes 2. In the darkness *somewhere* another comes to. Also confused. No longer alone. 2 becomes 3. Another is located. All in the same space. No-one knows how or … Continue reading

The Disappearance of Alice Creed (Review)

Alice Creed’s abduction was no rash act of random impulse. A LOT of pre-planning and preparation went into the operation which was performed with precision and seemingly went off without a hitch. But it didn’t end there. Once in “captivity” … Continue reading

The Prophecy 4 (Uprising) & 5 (Forsaken) (Review)

Truth be told The Prophecy was lucky to get one sequel let alone 4 of them. The original was an excellent little unexpected B film that thanks to Christopher Walken and a catchy theological themed plot got a little buzz, … Continue reading
