Fulci was an Italian master who never really quite received the acclaim that here deserved during his life. He himself felt his work was always in the shadow of someone like Dario Argento, a man who Fulci occasionally aimed the odd side-swipe at. As far as I was concerned though he easily matched Argento and… Read More Contraband (1980)

What causes healthy, fit people to die in their sleep ? That is the question posed by this supernatural thriller that effectively blends ‘archival footage’ with dramatic recreation. Charlie Crowe (Dallas Roberts) is a late night radio host desperate for a shot at the big time, but seemingly destined to rot in the graveyard shift… Read More Shadow People (2013)

Valeri Milev’s debut feature Re-Kill (2012) was all set for a UK release as part of the After Dark label, but for some reason got pulled at the last minute. It’s a shame as it was quite a lauded little picture that featured genre icon Bruce Payne. Nevertheless Milev’s second feature HAS been released on… Read More Code Red (2013)

The concept of a movie with feral children is a fairly uncommon one, ‘uncommon’ being a word that you rarely associate with the genre of horror. This year of course we were treated to the film Mama which used the idea and in years gone by there’s been pictures like Shiver (2008) from Spain which… Read More Citadel (2012)

Gordon Hessler, the German born film director who died earlier this year was perhaps best known for a threesome of horror movies made with Vincent Price for AIP in The Oblong Box (1969), Cry of the Banshee (1970) and Scream and Scream Again (1970). Prior to these he was placed under contract to Alfred Hitchcock… Read More Catacombs (1965)

If someone was to strap me to a chair with my freedom determined by the horrifying demand that I had to name my ten favourite horror films right then and there, Cat People would definitely feature. It may seem an unusual title to throw out on UKHS amongst the buzz of the latest genre titles,… Read More Cat People (1942)

In the past few years Final Cut Entertainment have been quietly going about their own business releasing some iconic Hammer films into the UK market. Beginning with The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) before moving on to a nifty dual format release of The Brides of Dracula (1960) and then The Evil of Frankenstein (1964),… Read More Captain Clegg (1962)

Harrison Smith’s previous scripts included the quite woeful Corey Feldman starring 6 Degrees of Hell and also The Fields which was slightly better and featured Tara Reid. For his directorial debut he goes a little more old school with many of this features roots fixed back in the 1980s with notable nods in particular to… Read More Camp Dread (2014)

The Legend Of Sorrow Creek has become The Cabin Of Sorrow Creek during its much delayed journey across the Atlantic. This low budget (£6,200) Canadian horror betrays it roots though, with the characters escaping their busy lives in New York for the seclusion of rural New England. It is of course shot completely within the… Read More The Cabin at Sorrow Creek (2007)
