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‘? One film I didn’t watch last December and I was reminded about this year, is the 90’s classic The … Continue reading

[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. While the 70’s Hammer fully embraced sex, blood and nudity, in … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] In The Mouth Of Madness (1994)
“In The Mouth Of Madness” (1994) ‘In The Mouth of Madness‘ is a film by John Carpenter that has a special place in my heart, not because it was slapped like a red-haired step-child (why that phrase is used confounds me) badly upon it’s release (Why? Because it was intelligent and dared to be different?) … Continue reading
[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

[Bea’s Reviews] The Blair Witch Project (1999)
“The Blair Witch Project” (1999) The Blair Witch Project doesn’t offer anything new that could be considered original, but it’s a personal belief of mine it’s not the idea that truly matters, it’s how the idea is executed. Although this film has been subject to countless parodies by now, what a lot of people don’t quite … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Threads (1984)
“Threads” (1984) (Authors’ note- hey folks, since it is the horror season, I figured I would review several films involving themes that scare me. The following review is not meant to be a wild call to arms or to monger scares from readers, but it affected me so deeply when I first saw it because … Continue reading

[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: The Offspring (1987) and Lisa And The Devil (1973)
I was drawn to Lisa And The Devil because it was a Mario Bava film, and I wanted something a little more unusual of his on my list to check out. Well unusual wasn’t wrong, as this film is down right INSANE! Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Frankenstein Unbound (1990) and Cold Eyes Of Fear (1971)
Mini Review Day 21: Frankenstein Unbound (1990) I find it rather odd that until recently I hadn’t even heard of the film Frankenstein Unbound and it seemed strange to me. A Frankenstein film, directed and written by Roger Corman starring John Hurt, Raul Julia and Bridget Fonda – and I didn’t know of its existence! … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Tourist Trap (1979) and The Victim (2011)
Mini Review Day 19: Tourist Trap (1979) So I admit that the sole reason I decided to put Tourist Trap on my 31 Days Of Horror list was because I loved the one sheet. It was strange, and certainly attention grabbing, it did its job on selling me. I am actually glad to report that … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: The Legacy (1978) and Faceless (1987)
I am not entirely sure where I even heard about this film, but I am pretty sure I added it to the list because it starred Sam Elliot. Continue reading
