Anthology horror GHOST STORIES makes the leap from stage to screen

“The Brain Sees What It Wants to See.” So goes the poster tagline for Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s film, Ghost Stories. Watching the film, it takes a while to figure out just what it means, but once it clicks, the film becomes one of the most rewarding horror anthologies to come along in ages.

Getting Blu: LIQUID SKY, THE DEVIL INCARNATE and CITY OF THE DEAD

It seems appropriate that the two latest books added to my bookshelf are pocket paperbacks. Sometimes, massive books devoted to film studies have a tendency to ramble on, taking far more pages than necessary to communicate their points. This made the arrival of the latest installments of Wallflower

I KILL GIANTS – Starburst Magazine

Director Anders Walter’s festival favourite fantasy film only saw a limited theatrical release before going to VOD in March 2018. It’s a shame, as the emotionally-fraught action movie has a strong potential to really break out and really demands to be seen in big screen glory.
