Supervixens (1975) 49% 3/5 “It errs on the side of the truly vicious... but the far-fetched finale – which involves fizzing sticks of dynamite – is truly wild.” – Empire Magazine Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3/5 “It’s the kind of hokum which falls apart if you think too hard, but keeps all its plates spinning. ” – SciFiNow Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 3/5 “The protagonist vows not to be the monster to his daughter his father was to him, even when he’s turning into a literal monster. It’s a solid underpinning for a basic one-eventful-night-in-the-woods movie.” – SciFiNow Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 2/5 “It’s not an outright disaster, but it doesn’t exactly make you hope Sony will fast-track a Beetle, Molten Man or Gibbon movie.” – SciFiNow Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/5 “Overloaded with cartoonish CGI action scenes and non-stop patter, this is never less than entertaining – though it’s also pretty disposable. ” – SciFiNow Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% 3/5 “Managing to go further over-the-top and pushing more offence buttons than you think possible, this is recommended only for the strong of stomach and hard of heart. ” – Empire Magazine Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 3/5 “After the pompous stodge of Prometheus and Alien Covenant, Alien Romulus is at least exciting, atmospheric, inventive and committed to making audiences jump or gasp.” – SciFiNow Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 4/5 “A risk is that there are so many borrowings that Folie à Deux is more a collage than a film, but Phillips’ bizarre, admirable ambition scotches any chances of a Joker franchise by following through to a logical conclusion.” – SciFiNow Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% “It's not Speak No Evil (2022)— because what would be the point of that? — but Speak No Evil (2024) is a quality horror-suspense picture. ” – Empire Magazine Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% “It's a shame that this effort -- though far more coherent, entertaining and exciting than Alien 3 -- should be the first film in the series to be almost anonymous. ” – Sight & Sound Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023) 65% 3/5 “Here, at last, we can see McDowell was genuinely trying for nuance, and even a bit of tragedy.” – Empire Magazine Aug 5, 2024 Full Review The Outwaters (2022) 75% “If the job of a horror film is to terrify, then The Outwaters is refreshingly direct and astonishingly successful even as it is, in certain ways, wilfully obscure.” – Sight & Sound Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% “Kill delivers non-stop spectacular carnage in an undeniably crowd-pleasing manner with Lakshya presenting as an iconic superstar (bare-chested but wounded) as he breaks, batters and stabs all comers.” – Sight & Sound Jul 4, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 4/5 “Mia Goth's Maxine is what you'd get if the Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster of Taxi Driver were fused in the telepod from The Fly. ” – Empire Magazine Jun 27, 2024 Full Review The Exorcism (2024) 27% 3/5 “There's a wobble about how committed this is to being a scary movie rather than an inside Hollywood drama, but -- like Exorcist III -- it springs one great lunge-out-of-an-unexpected-corner-of-the-frame jump scare. ” – Empire Magazine Jun 20, 2024 Full Review The Watchers (2024) 33% 3/5 “Fanning brings her A-game and there’s enough mystery about the monsters in the woods to string audiences along until the satisfyingly weird finish. As mid-list horror goes, perfectly fine.” – Empire Magazine Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% 4/5 “Tossing a malicious vampire kid among squabbling, not-exactly-un-dangerous humans is a recipe for a wickedly enjoyable thrill ride. One of the messiest vampire movies ever made, and winningly so.” – Empire Magazine Apr 22, 2024 Full Review The Searchers (1956) 87% 5/5 “Rarely taken seriously as an actor, Wayne proved here, and in other films for Ford and Howard Hawks, that his often-ridiculed mannerisms of speech and walk could serve an unforgettable performance.” – Empire Magazine Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 71% “Immaculate has the look of something as lightly spooky as the Nun films, but is prepared to go a lot further — abetted by a committed lead performance — than your average haunted convent picture.” – Empire Magazine Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Late Night with the Devil (2023) 97% 4/5 “Given the confined-to-a-studio setup, the film goes a lot further into special effects fireworks than you initially expect. It’s a wild ride.” – SciFiNow Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Destroy All Neighbors (2024) 71% 3/5 “The only film you’ll see this year with a limbless torso playing drums with animated entrails, this wickedly witty take on the seamy side of creative ambition is well worth a spin.” – Empire Magazine Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Little Big Man (1970) 91% 3/5 “There's an amusing turn from Chief Dan George as the mystic who explains things to the dumb hero, Faye Dunaway as a preachers-wife-turned-prostitute, and an impressive recreation of Custer's Last Stand.” – Empire Magazine Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Doctor Jekyll (2023) 41% 3/5 “Jekyll and Hyde is about id unleashed, as well as evil, and Doctor Jekyll could do with more primal rampage to go with its sense of creeping coercion. Nevertheless, Izzard is great value.” – Empire Magazine Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) 32% 2/5 “One problem is that the title imposes a stop-and-start structure which keeps killing the momentum. One scary night would work better than five with time-outs for daytime plot about the evil auntie or a deep backstory.” – SciFiNow Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 3/5 “[Saw X] finds Bell back on form as a psycho who is here unambiguously, a vigilante hero doing horrid things to people who really, really deserve it.” – SciFiNow Oct 5, 2023 Full Review
