Alix Turner

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Alix discovered both David Lynch and Hardware in 1990, and has been seeking out weird and nasty films ever since (though their tastes have become broader and more cosmopolitan). A few years ago, Alix discovered a fondness for genre festivals and a knack for writing about films, and now cannot seem to stop. They especially appreciate wit and representation on screen, and introducing old favourites to their adolescent son.

They Live in the Grey (2022) 62% “I’m sorry if the film sounds too miserable. The content is heavy—right from the start—for sure, but it is rewarding, undoubtedly impressive...” – Horror Obsessive Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Isolation (2021) 67% 3/5 “Like the film equivalent of a support group: it could be draining or it could be cathartic, depending on the individual.” – Ghouls Magazine Feb 20, 2022 Full Review Night Drive (2021) 100% 3.5/5 “I enjoyed it just as much the second time, preparing for this review; watching the interplay between Russell and Charlotte, the close-ups, the neon lights, the claustrophobic tension and the daft Christmas animals.” – Ghouls Magazine Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Forgiveness (2021) 3/5 “Forgiveness kept me intrigued throughout, but it was not an easy film to enjoy.” – Horror Obsessive Dec 21, 2021 Full Review The Free Fall (2021) 53% 3.5/5 “The style seems to combine early noir (even with a character obviously modeled on Mrs. Danvers) with seventies giallo: polished sophistication with sudden brutality.” – Horror Obsessive Dec 21, 2021 Full Review The Deep House (2021) 72% 3.5/5 “Lots of gruesome fun” – Horror Obsessive Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Shepherd (2021) 70% 3/5 “Recommend it to lovers of serious horror films who are in sound mental health and less sensitive to sound than myself.” – Horror Obsessive Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Sharon's Baby (1975) 3/5 “Fun and over-the-top story masquerading as drama.” – Horror Obsessive Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Dead & Beautiful (2021) 42% 3/5 “Dead & Beautiful is worth watching for a very original perspective on the vampire model, commenting on and then dismissing tropes while also following a rarely observed demographic trying to figure out how and whether to adjust.” – Horror Obsessive Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Hate Crime (2013) 2.5/5 “There are some great performances and some sound production in Hate Crime, although some poor writing, and I am of the opinion that the wrong approach was made for this film's agenda.” – Ghouls Magazine Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Titane (2021) 90% 4/5 “What really makes the film rich is the exploration of some deeply intimate themes - family, trauma, gender, identity - and the lovely use of fire to draw one in or to wipe out the obsolete.” – Ghouls Magazine Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Dashcam (2021) 100% 4/5 “Dashcam is an enjoyable and thought-provoking thriller, and I'm looking forward to finding out what Nilsson has in store next.” – Ghouls Magazine Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Happy Times (2019) 73% 3.5/5 “Very entertaining, with insult-laden dialogue and plenty of creative violence and tension.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review The Pizzagate Massacre (2020) 100% 3.5/5 “It's very entertaining and full of surprises, full of situations that appear ludicrous at first, and then when you realise, "Yeah, this could happen," you stop laughing.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Slapface (2021) 91% 4/5 “The two young actors are remarkable in their contrasting roles, with all the nuance required in showing how tough it is to handle guilt, bereavement, and those who remain.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Faceless (2021) 3.5/5 “If you are prepared for some intense surgical special effects and are happy to be caught up in some poor schmuck's nightmares, this one could be for you.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Midnight (2021) 100% 3.5/5 “The direction is terrific, giving us an introduction to Kyung Mi's world first, then showing just how easy it is to be taken in by a smooth stranger.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review The Beta Test (2021) 92% 3/5 “The Beta Test is set in the brash, fast-talking world of Hollywood agents, and is a vehicle for commentary about pretense, paranoia, and corporate dick-measuring.” – Horror Obsessive Oct 11, 2021 Full Review Sacrilege (2020) 10% 2/5 “I might forgive the writing or the tone if the film featured any actual sacrilege.” – Ghouls Magazine Oct 4, 2021 Full Review Thunderbird (2019) 4/5 “A smooth blend of an intelligent thriller with supernatural drama, set against a backdrop of not-quite-blended cultures.” – Ready Steady Cut Sep 9, 2021 Full Review King Knight (2021) 75% 2.5/5 “The dialogue and character writing are sharp and witty all around, with sincere rather than sarcastic delivery from all; and almost everyone is adorable. Yet somehow, King Knight felt just a little too pretentious to me.” – Horror Obsessive Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Killer Concept (2021) 83% 3/5 “The writing is especially tight, though I do wish we got to find out a little more about the killer's motivations. That said, it is both engaging and entertaining; and when you consider the minuscule budget, it's all around an impressive result.” – Horror Obsessive Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes (2021) 100% 3.5/5 “One of the shortest films of this year's FrightFest, but also one of the richest; in terms of content, visual style, and meaning.” – Horror Obsessive Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Bloodthirsty (2020) 80% 3.5/5 “Bloodthirsty isn't so much about its plot: it's about finding one's self, about music; it's about its gothic style and its women. It's all smoothly and impressively done.” – Horror Obsessive Sep 8, 2021 Full Review The Retaliators (2021) 86% 3/5 “The result I would expect if I put a bunch of horror and metal fans in a room and told them to pool all their favorite things into a brand new film. And why not?” – Horror Obsessive Sep 8, 2021 Full Review
