WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It is interesting to see that the stories for each of the films featured below, excluding Conjuring 1 and 2, were either of James Wan’s own creation or in collaboration with Leigh Whinnell. Additionally, apart from Saw all these films have a hint of the occult about them. Clearly, …
Horror Directors – Rob Zombie
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Truthfully, what you know about Rob Zombie really depends on the type of person you are. If you’re into horror films, you’ll know him as a horror director. If you’re into rock music, you’ll know him as a singer. Zombie, like John Carpenter discussed earlier this month, is a …
Horror Director – John Carpenter
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers One of the main things I want to talk about in these articles will be director trademarks, I’ll also reference ‘easter eggs’ at times. Something to be aware of with John Carpenter is that very often he will compose his own theme tunes. This is mainly the case with …
Hulk AKA Mark Ruffalo
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers OK, so it looks like if I’m going to cover all 3 actors that have played the Hulk then just like Spider-Man I’ll be working backwards starting with the most recent (and in my opinion, possibly the best). I think Ruffalo brought a lot more the role and truthfully …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956 vs 1978
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I promised myself that I was going to stop writing articles about remakes that are based on a novel (yes, I didn’t know this before but this was based on The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney) because they aren’t technically remakes, just different adaptations of the same book. Well, …
Body Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think for most of us, throughout our lives, our body is one of those things we have always found hard to come to terms with. There’s always something we don’t like about it and I think to some extent that it is what can make body horror so …
Cabin Fever 2002 vs 2016
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I originally used to think this was some sort of zombie film, however I was completely wrong and instead Eli Roth had much better idea than that. Such a good idea in fact that Travis Z felt it was worth remaking in the early 2010s. Frame for Frame …
Beast AKA Nicholas Hoult
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I am slightly posting this the wrong way around as technically I should have given you all an article on Kelsey Grammer beforehand as he played Beast first. However, I think it works this way around as well as Hoult played the young Beast. Truthfully, in the cartoons Beast …
Horror Doesn’t Take a Holiday
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, I’ve had this article planned out for a while, mainly inspired by my Unconventional Christmas and Death at the Party articles released around Christmastime. It was pushed to front of my mind when watching Holidays so here’s a little reminder that horror isn’t just for Halloween… …
German Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This article was actually harder to write than I was expecting. A lot of the ‘German’ films I was finding turned out to be either from Switzerland or Austria not Germany. However, after trawling the internet, I was able to pull out some, let’s say obscure, German horror films… …
