Harbouring a taste for British horror, I was introduced to Drew Cullingham when I watched his ambitious vampire film with a western lilt – Umbrage: The First Vampire. Though not perfect, it exhibited enough originality for it to be of some interest to a horror dweeb such as myself, and coupled with the informative extras… Read More The Devil’s Bargain (2014)
A customer of mine came to see me in work last night to check out this week’s horror releases. I happened to mention that Demon Legacy was out today but I hadn’t seen it yet, although when I do there will be a review going up on The Schlock Pit. He said “Don’t sweat it… Read More Demon Legacy (2014)
The first video I rented from Blockbuster was a rather questionable DTV horror film called Devil’s Child (1997) with Matthew Lillard and Kim Delaney. A pointless snippet of trivia if ever there was one, but whenever a supernaturally orientated pregnancy film shows up I tend to think back to the long line of similarly themed… Read More Delivery (2013)
Manipulation. I guess everyone manipulates something to differing degrees, whether its exaggerating man-flu to gain a few days off work, or cajoling your mate to buy the first pint as you “don’t have any money”.

In the UK he’s best known for… Read More Dead Sushi (2012)

The slight difference being that in the last year or so Chiller have taken the bold step into making their own features. The first was the disappointingly average Remains, based on the comic… Read More Dead Souls (2012)
A home-grown horror to start the week and its one that comes from Wales, directed by Wrexham born filmmaker S.J Evans. Wales has had a wealth of horror directed in its parts in recent years thanks in part to North Bank Entertainment and Andrew Jones, who has of course shot much maligned fare as Amityville… Read More Dead of the Nite (2013)
Whenever you put I film on, there’s always a number of reassurances that provide me with an element of comfort that I won’t be wasting my time. Admittedly this concept was tested somewhat with ‘Dead Mine’. First up, it’s a movie by Steven Sheil. Have you seen ‘Mum & Dad’ ? If not, stop reading… Read More Dead Mine (2012)
