Review: The Head Hunter
Blu-ray: The Head Hunter (2018)Before watching The Head Hunter I read a few reviews of this independent ‘made on a low budget’ shortish film. Clocking in at 70 minutes, a lot of comments by viewers can be condensed into ‘It’s a bit too long’ and ‘it needs to be 30 minutes long’.Hmmm I thought, this does […]
Review: Creed – Rise to Glory
If you think Creed: Rise to Glory is a feel-good movie about a porn star battling his crippling Viagra addiction, then you’d be sadly wrong. I’d also recommend you speak to a sex therapist as you’ve clearly got one thing on your mind! If, however you are keen to find out more about the PSVR […]

Review: Raw
Blu-ray: Raw (2016)What an amazing first feature for director Julia Ducournau. Released in 2016, Raw is one of those films that seem to be sent from movie heaven it’s that good.It’s a coming of age story about Justine (Garance Marillier), a clever and somewhat sullen and spoilt second daughter of a strict vegetarian family.Justine begins to attend the […]
Review: Maneater
As someone who has been playing videogames for over 40 years, it’s fair to say there isn’t much I haven’t done whilst holding a joystick or controller. However, as I write this review, I’ve been wracking my brains and I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where I’ve controlled a shark. I’ve been a […]
Review: Cyber Hero – Mission Runner
“Cyber Hero – Mission Runner” is a roguelike top down vertical shooter in the cyberpunk genre, with more upgrades at your disposal than you can shake the proverbial stick at. Released on Android on March 24th, I’ve been playing this for over a week now before release and have already seen how well supported it […]
Review: The Barcelona Vampiress
The Barcelona Vampiress (2020)The Barcelona Vampiress is based on the amazingly true story of Enriqueta Martí i Ripollés (1868 – 1913) he supposed ‘Spanish child serial killer’ who kidnapped, then prostituted an unknown number of children. The film itself is extremely stylised, the set design is purposely claustrophobic and graphic comic in look and is rather Terry Gilliam-esque in […]
