Doomsday (2008) Movie Review
The end of the world has been a popular topic in Science Fiction and Fantasy films for as long as we can remember. But while the topic is well worn, the subject has been kept relatively fresh as the causes of our demise have evolved with popular politics – nuclear holocaust, alien invaders/Communists, wayward [...]

Danny Pang returns with “In Love With the Dead”, his latest solo effort away from brother Oxide, and a film which sees him trying something slightly different from the usual ghostly shenanigans for which he is so well known. Of late, the Pangs’ supernatural films, whether working together or separately, have been rather patchy in [...]

‘Cultographies’ is a new series of books, devoted (as you might guess) to ”the weird and wonderful world of cult cinema”. In format and approach they are very much reminiscent of the acclaimed British Film Institute’s series ‘BFI’s Modern Classics’. Small in size and not longer than 130 pages, ‘Cultographies’ books manage to compress unbelievable [...]

The DVD re-release of “Blue Jean Monster” has been long awaited by cult film fans, having earned itself quite a reputation over the years as a bizarre bad taste mixture of police thriller, gory horror, slapstick comedy and domestic drama. Thankfully the film, which was presumably titled to tie in with the 1988 Hollywood police [...]

Most teen slasher films need just three elements to make them interesting. First, create an intriguing and frightening back story that will allow viewers to understand why the bad guy kills. Second find a good looking cast and convince several of the women to take off their tops and scream… a lot. [...]

The Sci-Fi original movie Lake Placid 2 has several things in common with the original Lake Placid. It has the same characters, with new names, at the same location trying to kill the same giant reptile. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as the similarities go. Lake Placid was written by television writer [...]

Shrouded in secrecy and a pervasive viral marketing campaign, prolific television producer J.J. Abrams’ (‘Alias,’ ‘Lost’) latest film, “Cloverfield,” lands in US theaters at a rather curious time. Mid-January is typically when movie studios flush the crap out of their dumpsters and into the cineplexes, so I was surprised that a film with an [...]

Against all the odds, with the genre having long been lingering in the cinematic doldrums, 2007 turned out to be a bumper year for Korean horror, largely thanks to the willingness of directors to innovate and to try something a little different than the usual simple tales of vengeful long haired spirits stalking schoolgirls. This [...]

“Red Eye” sees the return of Korean director Kim Dong Bin after a considerable absence following his popular “Ringu” knock off “The Ring Virus” back in 1999. Although his latest effort is not another actual remake, for all practical purposes it may as well be, being a resolutely generic work which follows steadfastly in the [...]
