[Review Rewind] Christmas Classics: Home Alone (1990)

[Review Rewind] Christmas Classics: Home Alone (1990)

I love this time of year, and as someone who does celebrate the wonderful commercialism of Christmas, I always grab the Holiday/Christmas movies and watch them during December. So why not talk about some ‘Christmas Classics‘ and starting with one of my favourites Home Alone. This is perhaps the first Christmas film I really remember … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Horror Of Dracula (1958)

“Horror Of Dracula” (1958) While Lugosi’s Count of Counts was generally a one-off affair, Dracula was resurrected again by Hammer Films in the formidable shape of Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee which turned out to become a long-running franchise full of hits and misses.

[Bea’s Reviews] Hellraiser (1987)

“Hellraiser” (1987) The 80’s was perhaps the best time to be a boogeyman. No matter how paper thin your plot was, people came to see blood and cheese and expected nothing but mindless entertainment from you and your hapless, screaming horny teens. However, an unexpected dark horse arrived on the scene: ‘Hellraiser‘. Nobody quite knows … Continue reading
