Dir.: Guillermo del Toro Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddelston, Doug Jones and Charlie Hunnam Wow. I didn’t think it would take me this long to review a movie I was chomping at the bit like a horse from the Abyss to see, but here we go. Crimson Peak isn’t del Toro’s finest hour as … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Mimic [1997] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Josh Brolin, Charles Dutton and F. Murray Abraham A trial by fire was Del Toro’s very first Western science fiction thriller that while valiant at the core failed due to studio insistence that Western audiences were a bunch of gurgling, mentally-defective trilobites thereby giving us what … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Pacific Rim [2013] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Hunam, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman and Ron Perlman We get near-apocalyptic in Del Toro’s affectionate love letter to battle mechs and ornery kaiju in one of 2013’s big blockbuster films that shows you that bigger can sometimes be better, in fact it is encouraged. If … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Hellboy II: The Golden Army [2008] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Luke Goss, Anna Walton, Jeffrey Tambor and Doug Jones Another fine example of the “Not ALL sequels…” argument which sees Big Red and the crew go up against the fiercely determined Elven Prince Nuada who is hellbent on awakening the Golden Army to do his bidding … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Hellboy [2004] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, John Hurt, Doug Jones and David Hyde Pierce Here to protect, here to rock the boat, “Hellboy” is unlike many of the superhero ilk out there right now. Having had no prior intel of the character or creator Mike Mignola, I remember “Hellboy” being one of the most … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Pan’s Labyrinth [2006] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Ivana Banquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú, Adriana Gil and Doug Jones A film incredibly close to my heart, “Pan’s Labyrinth” is without a doubt one of my favourite films ever made, if I had a list, I would hazard to say this would be in the Top 10. As I describe it in … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Blade II [2002] by Bea Harper
Dir. Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Luke Goss, Lenore Varela, Ron Pearlman, Norman Reedus and Thomas Kretschmann What a damn KICK-BUTT sequel! Blade II remains my favourite of Marvels’ Blade films. While the first one started it, “Blade II” all but truly ends it on a high note (to say nothing of … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] The Devil’s Backbone [2001] by Bea Harper
Dir. Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Federico Luppi, Marisa Paredes, Irene Vesedo, Eduardo Noriega and Fernando Tielve A beautiful ghost story, a tightly-wound chiller and an intelligent contemplation of what separates the living from the dead, Del Toro’s “The Devil’s Backbone” is certainly a strong contender for one of the greatest ghost movies ever made, perhaps up there … Continue reading

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
The original Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, which was broadcast on ABC television in 1973, is generally looked upon as a very sub-par film. However, it was scary enough to have made an impression on a youngster named Guillermo Del Torro. So much of an impression, in fact, that he used it as inspiration … Continue reading
