WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers The topic covered in these films, to my knowledge, is a very rare storyline of horror films. In 1963, Blood Feast introduced us to Fuad Ramses, the exotic caterer and dedicated follower of the Egyptian goddess Ishtar. He makes a reappearance in 2016 when the film was directly remade, only …
WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers In 1994, Warner Brothers brought the Dark Horse Comics character The Mask to the big screens worldwide – with Jim Carrey in the leading role. Eleven years later and the sequel, Son of the Mask, followed in its footsteps but many wondered, was this the best idea? Lack of Connection …
WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers Whilst in the midst of our very own global pandemic, I thought it would be apt to cover some films based around the same topic. Based on the 1954 novel ‘I am Legend’, I introduce to you The Last Man on Earth (1964) and its three latter iterations; Omega Man …

WARNING: This Article Contains Spoilers Imagine a world where humans are further down the food chain than they are today. A desolate planet, hunted by our simian brothers. Watch Planet of the Apes, and you no longer need to picture it in your mind. Both the 1968 and 2005 films gives different visions of …
Warning: This Review Contains Spoilers Antarctica, 1982. Two teams in the snowy wasteland end up set upon by the same monster in the midst of winter (but I guess it always is in Antarctica right?). I originally looked at these films in order to contest whether it was worth the remake – which ended up …
WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers In 2007, we were introduced to reporter Angela Vidal, a reporter for ‘While You’re Sleeping’, as she shadowed the firemen of Barcelona. The night soon became one that she would never forget. In 2008, the Americans decided to tell her story once again, but in the city of Los Angeles. …
Her foot slipped, she started to fall. Nothing that had happened to her throughout her life could match how terrified she was at this very moment. Whatever scared her before, now paled in comparison.
