Review: George Romero – Between Night and Dawn
Blu-ray & DVD: George Romero – Between Night and Dawn George Romero; a name synonymous with slow moving zombies and his classic ‘Dead Trilogy’ (there were of course more, but it is the first 3, especially for me, which always warrant repeat viewings every now and again). There was much more to George Romero though […]

Review: The Villainess
Blu-ray: The Villainess (2017) Hailing from South Korea, The Villainess has one of the most violently frenetic openings I’ve ever seen in an Asian thriller…or ANY movie.
