Frankenstein (2025) Dir: Guillermo del Toro
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQzOLJADYcL/?igsh=cXRrZW5oMXcwbXc4 Exquisite, is it not? This Netflix original adaptation of Mary Shelley's legendary science fiction novel, directed by the master of monsters and fantasy; Guillermo del Toro, was at the very top of my list of new releases I wanted to watch. I adore Shelley's most cherished novel, and I am always interested in seeing a new interpretation of it, even if many fail to live up to the novel's majesty. My

Revenge (2017) Dir: Coralie Fargeat
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQwrMUijVtv/?igsh=MTF0YzY3ZjlhMzBuZw== This 2017 French action thriller marked the feature-length directorial debut of Coralie Fargeat, who would later direct the hugely successful 2024 film; 'The Substance' . I actually watched Fargeat's most notable short film; 'Reality+' , last year, and could immediately sense the stylistic similarities from the director. I was keen to see how Fargeat would utilise her stylistic methods of story

Suzume (2022) Dir: Makoto Shinkai
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQuBzGAjUag/?igsh=ZTJ4cTJlN29haGRw Recently, I spoke about there being a number of modern animated films that I was hoping to watch soon, and this very popular 2022 adventure, written, directed and edited by Makoto Shinkai, was right near the top of that list. It has maintained a fairly lofty average rating on Letterboxd, and, as such, garnered my attention. It was, however, with a friend, that I finally sat down and watched it. Wha

Quatermass 2 (1957) Dir: Val Guest
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQrPJ-VjR1N/?igsh=MTZpMDBlMHRxcWxycQ== After some of the extremely interesting sci-fi horror on display in the first film, it seemed only natural that I should want to watch Val Guest's 1957 sequel. I have been falling in love with the world of Hammer horrors, ever since I began my foray into the famous old production company's extensive filmography with 1958's 'Dracula' adaptation, so I was very hopeful that I'd enjoy this classic

Companion (2025) Dir: Drew Hancock
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQmM2jljcKt/?igsh=MTNwM2tleDhxbGJnbA== If someone had asked me at the beginning of the year what my top five most anticipated releases of 2025 were, this science fiction horror comedy, from director Drew Hancock, would have featured quite prominently. It looked like it would be a bundle of fun, although I found it quite frustrating that the trailer seemed to reveal far too much of its plot, which is far too common an occurance with

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event: November 2025
Since its return to the WWE programming schedule, 'Saturday Night's Main Event' has provided plenty of big moments, good and bad, and I was certain this autumn edition would be no different. The card had some decent looking matches on it, if only a couple that really screamed major, as far as plot and stakes went. My eyes were focused on what I expected to be the main event; the World title match, but I was hoping for good matches across the card. Opening the show, a litt

Tron (1982) Dir: Steven Lisberger
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQg8BOijYoE/?igsh=MTVsMTNqZmtwcTM5cQ== In 1982, Steven Lisberger directed what would become a classic sci-fi film, and one of the most beloved films of a beloved decade. It had been so long since I'd seen the original that I honestly couldn't remember much about it, other than the basics. In preparation for the third film, it seemed like the perfect time to rewatch the prior two, starting, of course, with the Eighties original. My r

The Monkey (2025) Dir: Osgood Perkins
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQeXpDpDVNA/?igsh=MWM3YTJ5bDczc3I4cA== My main reason for wanting to watching this brutal-looking horror film was because it was directed by Osgood Perkins, who made 2024's 'Longlegs' ; a film that I had absolutely loved. Based on the short story by Stephen King, I wasn't quite expecting this to be as good as the aforementioned 'Longlegs', but I was still very much intrigued by apparent absurdity it possessed, which I had seen snipp

NXT Halloween Havoc 2025
NXT's annual seasonal special premium live event, which took its name from the classic WCW event of the 90's, is always heaps of fun. The vibes are always good, ringside always looks appropriately spooky, and the matches usually have a seasonal twist. This year's event had a lot of matches that sounded like they'd be good value for money, including an appearance from the iconic Hardy's, so my anticipation was fairly high all-around. Tonight's edition of 'Halloween Havoc' be
