WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This is probably going to sound like something out of the Ministry of the Obvious, but a lot of horror films simply base themselves on the common fears of humanity. This is something I have decided to look into further and write more articles about – starting with one …

Singer to Actress: Barbra Streisand
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers For a long time I wasn’t aware if Barbra was a singer or an actress first. In a way, if you look past ‘on-screen’, she was technically both at the same time. She recorded her first album, The Barbra Streisand Album, in 1963 – well at the same time …
Celtic Horror
WARNING: This Article Contains Spoilers This originally started out as a British Horror article but it was gradually becoming English-heavy. So, I have decided to separate the English from their Celtic neighbours and present you with both a beloved film of mine and those that are completely new to me – but that’s what this …
Spider-Man AKA Tom Holland
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers A little fact that you may or may not know in terms of Tom Holland as Spider-Man, specifically when it comes to Avengers: Infinity War, is that the line ‘I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go, Mr. Stark…’ was completely improvised. Now, that scene makes me …

WARNING: This Article Contains Spoilers Now, I know what you’re all going to think when you reach the end of this article is “how can she talk about North American horror and not cover films from the USA?” Well, put it this way – the majority of the horror films we sit and enjoy at …

Captain Marv-El AKA Brie Larsson
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers For me, Brie Larsson – much like her character of Captain Marv-El – was an unknown quantity. This isn’t a negative though, as I think sometimes if I know the actor before they take on a specific hero role I can be quick to judge how good or bad …
Singer to Actor: Ice Cube
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ve never truly been the kind of person that’s into rap music. Yeah, I listen to a bit of Eminem every now and then but honestly, Ice Cube has never made it on to one of my playlists. If it wasn’t for the film Straight Outta Compton, where a …
Death of the Token Minority
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ve used the term ‘lost trope’ because, for all intents and purposes, it is rare to find a film nowadays where the non-white character is killed off first. Obviously you have the outliers like Scream 2 (and a couple of recent films mentioned below) but I think in a …
Rear Window vs Disturbia
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I’m going to start this by being completely open with you all. I know I usually keep the personally opinion until the end but I went in to this already believing that Disturbia was never going to be as good as Rear Window and I wasn’t disappointed. No, this …
