It does not have particularly encouraging reviews, but I still wanted to watch it, mainly because it sounded like it could be a bit of goofy fun. Plus, I actually don't hate the premise of a mysterious pyramid with something horrifying with

As such, I was keenly aware of the man's aptitude when it came to creating hard-hitting, well-made, independent, British social realism, which only encouraged me to watch this

The legendary Alfred Hitchcock is arguably the best example of this very notion. There are a number of Hitchcock films one can rattle off immediately upon hearing his name, chiefly, of course; 'Psycho' - I'm sure you can all relate to that particular example. This film is p

Well, the premise for this 2024 horror, directed by Bryce McGuire, was certainly out there. To be totally transparent, I thought this was one of the dumbest premises for a horror movie I'd seen in some time. It rem

I had no idea what to expect from the film, aside from zombies, but I was hoping for something a little camp and a lot of fun - like so many classic zombie films of the Eighti

I knew that it featured some emotionally challenging content, but I didn't know what that would look like, as it pertained to its presentation in the film. I had hope that it would be addressed in an empathetic, yet matter-of-fact way

It holds a very respectable set of ratings and scores online, which was, of course, very encouraging, and the inclusion of Jennifer Tilly, an actress I have a soft spot for, thanks to the 'Chucky' franchise, only helped matters

A string of positive early reviews certainly encouraged me, but, regardless, I was fairly confident I would, at the very le
