Honeymoon (2014) 76% 2.5/5 “Taps into one of the most basic universal fears with some success, but never explores any particularly surprising territory.” – SFX Magazine Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Blackwood (2014) 36% 3/5 “When so many horrors never stray from the usual route, it's laudable that Blackwood takes a detour somewhere unexpected.” – SFX Magazine Aug 7, 2014 Full Review World War Z (2013) 67% 3/5 “Despite all appearances, World War Z isn't really a zombie movie. It's a disaster movie, one in which the agent of apocalypse just happens to be walking (and running) human corpses, rather than glaciers or a meteor strike.” – SFX Magazine Oct 18, 2013 Full Review Devil Girl From Mars (1954) 2.5/5 “Sadly, the PVC-clad Nyah is a crashing bore.” – SFX Magazine Jun 7, 2013 Full Review Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) 84% 4/5 “Into Darkness is in large part designed to make Trek fans nudge one another in the ribs and emit excited fanboy yelps of recognition. How much you enjoy the film will depend on your appetite for homage.” – SFX Magazine May 8, 2013 Full Review The Innkeepers (2011) 81% 2/5 “A gruelling trial of audience patience.” – SFX Magazine Jun 11, 2012 Full Review Tourist Trap (1979) 57% 4.5/5 “Weds an older tradition of the uncanny with the more brutalist '70s mode, combining the unheimlich with the psychopathic. The results are seriously creepy.” – SFX Magazine May 16, 2012 Full Review In Time (2011) 36% 3/5 “Andrew Niccol's dystopia never really feels like anything other than a depthless, stylish sleek surface.” – SFX Magazine Feb 27, 2012 Full Review Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) 67% 4.5/5 “As before, this third entry in the franchise brushes aside such fripperies as a complex, involving narrative and drills straight down into our most primal fears. The results are as nerve-jangling as ever.” – SFX Magazine Oct 23, 2011 Full Review Save the Green Planet! (2003) 90% “Clearly designed to win a cult following, its "chuck everything, including the kitchen sink in" approach to weirdery treads a fine line between "endearingly bat's-arse" and "trying a bit too hard".” – SFX Magazine Apr 19, 2011 Full Review House (1977) 91% “If you crashed a teenage girls' pyjama party after necking some bad acid, this is probably what it'd feel like.” – SFX Magazine Apr 4, 2011 Full Review The Blob (1958) 67% “The Blob is one of those B-movies that will always inhabit a warm little nook in the affections of SF fans but, truth be told, it's never quite as fun as it should be.” – SFX Magazine Mar 28, 2011 Full Review The Crawling Eye (1958) 67% “Although hampered by a low budget and some laughable model work, The Trollenberg Terror certainly has its moments.” – SFX Magazine Mar 21, 2011 Full Review Zu, Warriors From the Magic Mountain (1983) 100% “The narrative moves at such break-neck speed and hits you with such a rapid succession of gags that you're soon too dizzy to fuss over the details.” – SFX Magazine Mar 7, 2011 Full Review The Sentinel (1977) 43% “The cast is certainly impressive, but in every other respect this horror in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist is a second-rate piece of tut.” – SFX Magazine Feb 28, 2011 Full Review I Bury the Living (1958) 64% “Sure, this is basically just like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone, but that's no bad thing, since it's like a good episode.” – SFX Magazine Feb 21, 2011 Full Review The Night of the Hunted (1980) “This Alzheimer's nightmare has an uncanny, downbeat atmosphere that can't be dissipated, even by the comical regularity with which Rollin's stars disrobe, or some crude scissors-in-eyes gore.” – SFX Magazine Jan 31, 2011 Full Review Versus (2000) 75% “Being dumb is cool, dude, and Versus is as knowingly dumb as a three-chord thrash by The Ramones.” – SFX Magazine Jan 25, 2011 Full Review Orpheus (1950) 97% “If you're the kind of amateur existentialist who admires the ring of a sentence like "look a lifetime in a mirror and you will see Death at work", then this beautiful film is for you.” – SFX Magazine Jan 10, 2011 Full Review Blacula (1972) 46% “William Marshall brings considerable nobility to the lead role - no mean feat when you've got patches of hair glued all over your face and keep turning into a giant bat.” – SFX Magazine Dec 20, 2010 Full Review Q (1982) 72% “Q works because Larry Cohen plays it pretty straight. Guerrilla filming on the streets of NYC helps create a sense of verisimilitude, and the characterisation is both unusual and strong.” – SFX Magazine Dec 14, 2010 Full Review The Asphyx (1972) 67% “What stops the film from sliding into irredeemable silliness is the performance of Robert Stephens, one of those dependable British thesps you can always rely upon to pull out the stops.” – SFX Magazine Dec 14, 2010 Full Review Le Dernier Combat (1983) 71% “Moments of wry whimsy maintain interest, as do frequent flashes of Besson's knack for a striking image.” – SFX Magazine Nov 30, 2010 Full Review Let Me In (2010) 88% 3.5/5 “it's impossible to deny that the subtlety has been dialled down by a good 5-10%... still, as Hollywood remakes go, a mere 5-10% is a good result.” – SFX Magazine Nov 16, 2010 Full Review Bed Sitting Room (1969) 64% “This example of post-apocalyptic absurdism sits midway between The Goons and Threads.” – SFX Magazine Nov 16, 2010 Full Review
