After making his first appearance in the hit classic ’80s supernatural slasher horror film CHILD’S PLAY, Chucky (voiced … Continue reading

[Review] Poltergeist (2015)

[Review] Poltergeist (2015)

The horror genre is just riddled with remakes and reboots, and while we do get some fairly good films out of it, the majority just do not work. They really seem to be quick cash grabs with no imagination or respect for the source material. The original POLTERGEIST is a much loved film of the … Continue reading

[Review] Point Break (2015) by Bede Jermyn

Ah, remakes. If there is one word that makes any film geek’s blood boil, it’s definitely that one. Which is totally understandable since Hollywood has been pretty remaking nearly every film in existence over the pass 10 years or so. Instead of having the knee-jerk negative reaction that most film fans usually do every time … Continue reading

Fright Night (2011)

Now I know what you are thinking ‘oh no not another remake of a classic horror film’, well to be honest I thought that too originally. However the film isn’t simply another pointless horrible remake, it is actually good and despite some similarities it is quite a different film than Tom Hollands original. Vampires always … Continue reading

The Crazies (2010)

3/5 Another horror remake, which is the trend in this day and age, however The Crazies is actually pretty decent. I have not seen Romero’s original film, so I cannot compare the two films. I was really looking forward to this film, the trailers were solid and the reviews were a mixed bag. I love … Continue reading

The Karate Kid 2010 aka Kung Fu Kid

3/5 Okay first off, this really should be called The Kung Fu Kid, considering Karate is not featured at all and they do Kung Fu in this film. The only reason it kept the Karate Kid title was for marketing, apparently people are stupid and wouldn’t notice there is no Karate in the film. That … Continue reading
