With a budget rumoured in the region of $20 million and a box office return of $1 million, you can see the reasons why Dylan Dog has taken three years to make it across the Atlantic. Box office failure however does not necessarily mean bad film – take Blade Runner or The Shawshank Redemption for… Read More Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2010)

“It’s alright for you middle-class cineastes to see this film, but what would happen if a factory worker from Manchester happened to see it?” (James Ferman) After the critically acclaimed success of their documentary Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide, which brilliantly managed to encapsulate the moral panic that was created during the Video Nasty shenanigans… Read More Video Nasties: Draconian Days (2014)
