Bride Of Frankenstein (1935) Review

Bride Of Frankenstein (1935) Review

The Bride Of Frankenstein deserves to live forever Initially reluctant to do a sequel to the smash hit “Frankenstein”, director James Whale finally relented when Universal agreed to give him full creative control. With the studio out of his way, the only thing standing between Whale and his ultimate vision was Joseph Breen and the ..

If you went down to the woods today, you’ll have been in for a big surprise as the dead have risen in Hampshire for “Day 66”. Surely it can’t be the apocalypse? Now?

If you went down to the woods today, you’ll have been in for a big surprise as the dead have risen in Hampshire for “Day 66”. Surely it can’t be the apocalypse? Now?

With the popularity of the zombie genre simply – heh – refusing to die, when thecraggus.com heard about “Day 66”, a new independent horror movie filming practically in our own backyard (or, more accurately, literally in the backyard of a friend of the family), we weren’t going to sleep through the end of the world. ..

Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review

Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review

Welcome to the hellmouth, we’ve got double games If Hammer House Of Horror had produced “Spaced”, the result could have been a lot like “Slaughterhouse Rulez”. A common room home brew of British Boarding School classics like “If….” and “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (the 1969 version specifically) mixed with “Ghostbusters” and dash of “Harry Potter”, this ..

Fantasy Island (2020) Review

Fantasy Island (2020) Review

Boss! Boss! De lame, it’s de lame! A frothy, fantasy series from the late seventies/ early eighties may seem like an odd choice for a 2020 horror revival but when has that ever stopped Blumhouse, the McDonalds Of Horror™, from hoovering up an IP and then figuring it out afterwards. The result is a disappointingly ..

Werewolf By Night (2022) Review

Werewolf By Night (2022) Review

Werewolf By Night sees the MCU sharpen the claws of its horror credentials. Ditching the tights and flights fare of the MCU to date, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT sees the comic book titan embrace its pantheon of horror characters and bring some real darkness into their sprawling cinematic universe. It’s also a welcome change of tone ..

The Nun II (2023) Review

The Nun II (2023) Review

Horror’s answer to Where’s Wally is back in The Nun II Although I’ve had something of a love/ hate relationship with the horror genre over the years, one thing that’s always remained consistent is that horror based on Catholic iconography and catechism is like catnip to me, so it’s little wonder that THE NUN quickly ..

The Nun (2018) Review

The Nun (2018) Review

The Nun shows exactly how you go about kicking off a dark cinematic universe. I seem to be getting into the habit of watching horror movies at the cinema, so when the fifth instalment of arguably the 21st century’s second most successful cinematic universe gave me an opportunity to start the story in chronological order ..

Nope (2022) Review

Nope (2022) Review

Nope is a sci-fi horror with its head in the clouds Imagine if Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling teamed up to create a film set in the vast openness of rural California, or maybe late seventies Spielberg collaborating with M Night Shyamalan to bring a creeping sense of dread and terror to the seemingly empty ..
