Blu-ray: V/H/S 85 (2023)After recently reviewing (and enjoying) 2021’s V/H/S 94, I was very much looking forward to watching the latest instalment in the series; V/H/S 85.Much like its predecessor, this is another horror anthology that throws all sorts of weird and wonderful stories at you in fairly quick succession.

4K UHD & Blu-ray: Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981)It’s a funny old world. Back in the 1980s I had to make a 360 mile round trip down to London to purchase a 3rd generation VHS copy of Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (and other ‘nasties’ of the time), yet here I am today with […]
DVD & Blu-ray: Roobarb…and Custard: Complete Collection Mention Roobard…and Custard to people of a certain age (myself included) and immediately Johnny Hawksworth’s unforgettable theme music will be playing in their head and a big smile will appear on their face.Bob Godfrey’s wobbly animation and Richard Briers’ voice-over are also seared into peoples memories from a show […]
