My Thoughts While Watching… Urban Legend (1998)

I've seen plenty of Buzzfeed posts floating around where people write a list of thoughts while watching a movie. I read one years ago where someone watched all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time while live tweeting and writing a post per movie. I still quote a lot of what he said …

Dial M for Murder (1954) Review

This is my second favourite film with Grace Kelly, who was a frequent collaborator with Hitchcock, appearing in 3 consecutive movies: Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955). An ex-tennis pro named Tony invites an old acquaintance under the pretence that he is interested in buying a car …

Halloween 4 – The Return of Michael Myers (1988) Review

It has been a while since I reviewed a movie, so I thought I'd return with a seasonal staple to continue the franchise where I left off. 10 years after the events of Halloween II, Michael Myers has been left in a comatose state and is being moved back to Smith's Grove Sanitarium. During the …

The Wicker Man (1973) Review *WARNING: SPOILERS*

I originally saw this movie a few years ago after watching Channel 4's "100 Greatest Scary Moments". This was featured at number 34. After that I was determined to see it. When I eventually did, all I could say was... what the hell did I just watch? In all honestly I had no idea. Even …

Their unhealthy interest in death and lack of social skills make them easy targets for the school bullies. One night, the sisters decide to kidnap the dog of one of their bullies.

Dracula (1931) Review

This is what started Universal Studios on the track of monster movies. It also gave us the famous Dracula look and started the horror film career of Bela Lugosi. Not only that but it was the first sound horror film. There’s barely any musical score, so there are a lot of silent moments when there …
