Hungry Wives (aka Season of the Witch, aka Jack's Wife)

Absentia

Copying Beethoven

Stars: 9 / 10 WHOA! Disturbing , chilling, controversial, stays-with-you film. Brilliant direction and superb acting (particularly for c...

Apartment 143 (Emergo)

Citadel

Stars: 4 / 10 Babysnatcher zombie-demon-kids vs impoverished agoraphobe widower, crazy priest and a blind boy. The moral of this story ...

Ravenous

Stars:  2 / 10 Weird and gross cannibal/vampire mashup. Sometimes funny (though perhaps unintentionally). One certainly expects better ...

Donnie Darko

Stars: 8 / 10 Science + dark humour, David Lynch-esque, twisted, cerebral, surreal. "Different" doesn't even begin to des...

Primer

Stars: 6 / 10 Slow start, but snowballs into something interesting. Good, but often confusing; definitely needs multiple viewings. Pers...

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Stars: 9 / 10 An absoulte MUST SEE for any sci-fi fan! This film helped to define the genre, with inovation in special effects and costu...

The Haunting

Stars: 7 / 10 60's cheesiness and painfully bad sound aside, its seriously CREEPY, with lots of atmosphere, as promised! Personal...

Chained

Stars: 7 / 10  Indie horror brilliance. Exceptionally disturbing and scary! Not for the faint of heart. Vincent D'Onofrio is terrify...

The Uninvited

Stars: 3/ 10 Meh. A really uninspired and lacklustre film. Not distinctive, slow paced, with only a few (dull) boo-scares. An ok ending...
