10 Best (Modern) Horror Comedies

10 Best (Modern) Horror Comedies

It has often been debated as to whether comedy can exist without tragedy. After all we all try to make light of our darkest times, and biggest fears; and many of the greats in theatre and literature, rely on these two sides of the same coin, to create a true masterpiece. The same of course, can be said for film. This human need for dark humour, is probably why horror comedy is one of the most…

Top 10 Best Jumpscares In Horror Movie History

Top 10 Best Jumpscares In Horror Movie History

Anyone who knows me well, or who has read enough of my reviews; would be able to tell you, that I have a real disdain for jumpscares. I find that, unfortunately, jumpscares are one often of the more divisive elements of horror cinema, and, more often than not, they are used as cheap decoy, in place of ‘real’ scares, without furthering the plot in any notable way. However, despite the many, many…

Top 10 Most Gruesome Horror Movie Deaths

Top 10 Most Gruesome Horror Movie Deaths

While not all Horror flicks use gore to convey a sense of dread in there viewers, it is certainly a well known (and loved) feature of horror cinema, and in some cases, a particularly gruesome death can have such an impact on audiences, that it elevates its film in to horror infamy, leaving a real mark on the genres legacy. So with that in mind, I decided to take a look at some of the most…

Top 10 Stupidest Decisions in Horror Movie History

NEW: 'Top 10 Stupidest Decisions in Horror Movie History' #horror #horrorhistory #HorrorFilms #Top10

I think its fair to say that Horror films, do contain more than their fair share of face palm inducing moments of poor decisions making. And I’m sure we’d all like to think that we would do better in that given situation. While some of these not-so-smart decisions can be put down to desperation, or sheer panic, some are just mindbogglingly stupid. Like why would you run towards the scary noise in…

Top 10 Zombie Movies

Top 10 Zombie Movies (Of All Time?)

For many people, the Zombie sub-genre of horror, is one that is now met with eye rolls, as soon as it is mentioned, because, lets be honest, Zombies have indeed been done to death (pun intended). However, despite a slue of sub par offerings, there are Zombie movies out there, that in fact defined an era in horror history; and others that were just so good, that they still stand strong, as…

LATEST ARTICLE: Top 10- Best Halloween TV Specials #Halloween #HalloweenTV #Top10

As we all know; Octobers are the best time of the year. The chilly autumn weather; cosy jumpers, and pumpkin spiced lattes. And of course, the best day of the year- October 31st: HALLOWEEN!

Ready Or Not? (2019)

'Ready Or Not?' Here is my review of the twistedly brilliant new horror!

After being very intrigued by this film after watching its trailer a few months back, I took my (rather reluctant) partner to see it at our local cinema. After being disappointed by so many recent, mainstream horror releases, we both went in with very little expectation. However, this film turned out, to in fact be, one of those unexpected little horror gems. The kind that seems to come out of…

IT: Chapter Two- A REVIEW #horror #horrorreview #IT #ChapterTwo #New

This is probably going to be a reasonably short and sweet review, as I went to see IT Chapter Two last night, and felt immediately compelled to share my thoughts with fellow horror fans. I went into the cinema, with my excitement at an all time high. I could barely contain myself during the previews, as I was just so desperate to FINALLY see this film I had been so feverishly looking forward to.…

Us- (2019) A FILM REVIEW #horror #horrorfam #horrorreview

After the immense success, both critically and with horror audiences, of Jordan Peele’s directorial debut; ‘Get Out’ (2017), there were certainly going to be high expectations, when it came to his next horror project. And, my oh my, did ‘Us’ live up to them. As well as managing to create a genuinely creepy, and extremely interesting story, Peele also managed to, yet again, create something, which…

The Babysitter (2017)

LATEST REVIEW: The Babysitter (2017) 2.5 STARS #horror #horror-comedy #Netflix #Review

Faced with the overwhelming number of horror titles available on Netflix today, it’s often hard to decide what is going to be worth your time. Mostly, because there is so much lack lustre content out there and you really have to know where to look, if you are going to find something half decent. However, I can say now, that ‘The Babysitter’ is as good a place as any to start. With its relatively…

The Dead Don't Die (2019)

LATEST REVIEW: The Dead Don't Die (2019)

After what seemed like a very short theatrical run in the UK, this film, ~(which considering its highly reputable cast, I had heard virtually nothing about), as of yesterday had its final showing at our local art-house cinema, the only place that seemed to be showing the film at all. The idea of going to see a zombie movie, with elements of comedy and satire, really appealed to me, and despite…

NEW HORROR LIST! Top 10- Most Shocking Horror Movie Death Scenes

Now, of course we have all come to expect that, in horror movies, there’s going to be gore, and there’s going to be death. For the most part, we except this as part of the package when we settle in to watch a scary film. But sometimes, we can still be taken by surprise.

Top 10- Best 'Horror' TV Show's, for Kids

Another list today! Want to have a bit of a nostalgia trip? Cjeck out my: Top 10- Best 'Horror' TV Show's, for Kids #horror #animated #nostalgic

If you were anything like me as a kid, there was nothing quite like the shiver down your spine, as you and your friends shared ghost stories around a campfire; or the rush of Adrenaline, as you secretly read an ‘R.L. Stein’ novel under the covers, past bedtime; the inevitable nightmares that would follow, be damned.

It was during a conversation with my little sister recently, that I realised,…
