DTV Junkyard 72

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… My last Bournemouth-based horror was on the streets of Boscombe following an all-night bender on Absinthe and Tequila as a snot-nosed student on a weekend away.

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… As I’m sure you’re all aware by now, I am indeed a post-millennial creature-feature apologist. It’s not something I’m proud of.

DTV Junkyard 70

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… A shout for New Zealand horror movies among friends usually elicits a fervent cry from the Jackson-ites for Bad Taste and Braindead, though more recently there’s an increasingly loud shout towards Housebound, Deathgasm and What We Do in the… Read More DTV Junkyard 70

DTV Junkyard 67

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… I really love the arrival of films like CLOWN TOWN, with its virginal IMDb page, untouched by spin, blogger or over-expectant horror folk distraught at how they spent thirty minutes downloading it illegally only to switch it off “’cos… Read More DTV Junkyard 67
