As I’m sure many of you will have noticed by now. I’m a pretty big fan of horror films. Course, more often than not, being a horror fan involves watching a lot of terrible horror films. And, more often than not, those terrible films are sequels or remakes. It was with this in mind that [...]
feature: The Wolf Man (1941) & The Wolfman (2010)
The other night, courtesy of Universal Pictures, I had the good fortune to watch the classic horror film, The Wolf Man (1941) in Denzille cinema, a cosy private cinema in Dublin 2. I had never seen it before but those of you who’ve read this blog before will know that I’m quite into horror films. [...]
film review: Daybreakers (2010)
When I talked about Daybreakers the other week I mentioned that, although I thought it looked great, I was a bit concerned about the fact that I’d never heard of the writer/directors – Michael and Peter Spierig. Turns out I had reason to be concerned. Daybreakers really had the potential to be a good film. [...]
film review: Paranormal Activity (2009)
Well technically Paranormal Activity came out in 2007 but it only got a cinema release in 2009, so (2009) it is. Not that it matters but anyway… better get on with this. The force is strong with this one. Umm… the Paramount marketing force that is. This is apparently now the most profitable movie of [...]
film review: Zombieland (2009)
The plan, on heading to the cinema for the evening, had actually been to see Pandorum… however a scheduling miscalculation meant that I missed the 6.40pm start time so had to go to Zombieland instead. And, despite being at the theatre 20 mins before Zombieland was due to start, I still managed to miss the [...]
film review: The Final Destination 3D (2009)
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while (or if you know me… like most people who seem to read this) you’ll know that I watch a fair number of horror films. They’re not like a favourite genre of mine or anything but I like a good horror film, so I watch them in [...]
review: Friday the 13th (2009)
I don’t know if this film, imaginatively titled Friday the 13th, is meant to be a “reboot” of the franchise or what, but I can tell you this. It’s the worst Friday the 13th film that I’ve seen. I’m gonna dispense with my no spoilers rule for once. This movie deserves to be spoiled, anything [...]
review: My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)
Contrary to popular belief, not all slasher flicks are the same. Ok, the formula tends the same in all of them – take a group of youngsters, add one homicidal maniac and watch the blood fly all over the place – but that doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Ok, there’s lots of bad ones… [...]
review: Scar 3D (2008)
Actually I think Scar was released in 2007 but this was the 3D version that was re-released into cinemas in 2008. Though… I have no idea if the original “flat” version of Scar was ever released in cinemas here… I hope not. As far as I can make out, Scar is not a good film. [...]

Another year, another Saw film. It’s all good. Saw IV was in my top 5 for last year so I was really looking forward to this next installment in the franchise. Saw V is the um… fifth film in the Saw series and I, for one, am glad that they didn’t bother with all that [...]
