Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m sure everyone has seen the little monkey statues covering their eyes, mouth and ears. Well, this isn’t about them. Without realising it, in places I have played on the original, Buddhist idea of the proverb, to avoid evil thoughts and deeds whereas some of these characters below lean …
A Christmas Carol Retellings
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s that wonderful time of year again (well, yesterday but Boxing Day still counts as part of the Christmas holiday right?) and how has it taken me 5 years to talk about possibly the most adapted Christmas story? OK, I’ve never actually read Dickens’ A Christmas Carol but I’ve …
One Actor Films
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers For those are avid readers of my articles, you will be fully aware of the fact that I love a film with a small cast. What’s smaller than a film with only one actor? I’ve already covered two films that would fit perfectly in this article, Buried and 127 …

Horror Directors: Dario Argento
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I wonder if people would consider Dario Argento as a “controversial” director as four of his films made the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions) list of so-called “video-nasties” – including Tenebrae and Inferno which featured in Sections 1 and 2 respectively as well as Suspiria and Deep Red, which …
Horror Directors: Wes Craven
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers So, I think to a lot of people Wes Craven would probably be considered as the King of the Franchise when it comes to horror the fact that he was the director of the first 4 Scream films (I for one think that’s where they should have stopped), all …
Music of the Night
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Listen to the children of the night, what beautiful music they make…or whatever Dracula once said. I don’t know if anyone would consider this as sub-genre of horror but you know what, I’m going to and it’s one that is strangely pleasing to know exists. That sub-genre, my friends, …
