When I saw the trailers for this Alex Scharfman directed A24 horror satire, I thought it looked bombastically weird. I was actually half-tempted to go and see it at the theatre, but ultimately, I decided to leave it until it was available to stream - this was mainly due to its undeniably divisive reviews, which were enough to ward many of us off, I'm sure.

You do get your exceptions, though, and this Spanish found-footage infection-based horror from 2007 seemed, based on its reviews, to be one of them. Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, it has achieved a healthy cult classic status, which was more than enough to entice me

I did finally muster up the urge to watch it though - I had been trying to find something fairly simple and recent to watch. My expectations were fairly nominal - the film has never generated any buzz particularly, and its reviews online are mediocre at best. I found

I was only somewhat tempted by the plot, and even less so by its cast. Ultimately, my cynicism gave way to my love of 'Dracula' and I decided to give it

I had watched the previous two films, and had enjoyed neither. This one was directed by Renny Harlin, whose entire filmography is very all over the place, with 'Die Hard 2' being his most notable film. I had watched the two previous films in the franchise, and my collec

Eventually, however, I did manage to find this 1974 Hammer, directed by Brian Clemmens. I had, by this time, already seen a few Hammer-produced vampire films, but this one seems to be one of the more championed by the production company, as well as its fanbas

I had enjoyed both of the previous two films in this trilogy, pa

With that said, I didn't know that before I watched the film, which was probably for the
