Cinema: Crimson Peak (2015) Guillermo del Toro is a name that movie fans and more so, horror fans, will know very well as the goblin king of gothic horror. I’ve been a huge fan of his work since Cronos changed the vampire mythos back in 1993 and ever since then he has made some stunning fantasy […]

Blu-ray: Crazy Six (1997) I like Rob Lowe, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles and Burt Reynolds so I was quite looking forward to watching Crazy Six. My thoughts after watching the movie are where did it all go wrong? Rob Lowe and his crew steal a bunch of money from gangster Ice-T. Mario Van Peebles plays […]

Blu-ray: Zardoz (1974) I sat down to watch infamous 70’s sci fi Zardoz for the first time ever and….. hang on… I’m 40 minutes in and I feel like I need to start over…. Right. I’ve now seen Zardoz. It really is crazier than a shithouse rat. I could well leave my review there. You […]

Blu-ray: Space 1999 – The Complete Series 2 (1976) I will give full disclosure at the start of this review and state that I have been a fan of Space 1999 since it first aired on UK television back in 1975. As a 10 year old boy I had already discovered Star Trek, Dr Who, […]

Blu-ray: Madman (1982) Arrow Films presentation of notorious video nasty ‘Madman’ is finally here on Blu-ray. As a horror film buff I must admit I was never really a big lover of this film (apologies to any fans). It is, however one of the most loved and most fun of the early 80’s slasher films. The ‘Cropsy’ […]

Streaming: Turbo Kid (2015) Turbo Kid appears to be one of those independent films that actually had a LOT of people working on it (scratches head), however, that’s not the point, the POINT is; what’s it like? I can’t put it any more succinctly than IMDB – “In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a comic book fan […]

Blu-ray: Mississippi Burning (1988) Agent Alan Ward (Willem Dafoe) and ex-sheriff and now agent Rupert Anderson (Gene Hackman) investigate the disappearance and possible murder of 3 civil rights workers in 1960’s Mississippi.
