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

Muppet Treasure Island (1996) Dir: Brian Henson
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQULXK3jUqg/?igsh=OHVldHBuNDVreHNn I grew up absolutely adoring this 1996 comedy adaptation of the classic seafaring adventure 'Treasure Island' , by Louis Stevenson. If there is one way to make a remake or adaptation worth it, it's to do it with the beloved band of puppets known as 'The Muppets' . This one was directed by Brian Henson, son of the legendary puppeteers Jim and Jane Henson, and, whilst not as popular as the Muppets ad

La Chimera (2023) Dir: Alice Rohrwacher
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQRtzhSjX7B/?igsh=MXBuaGozbHlzMXd6dA== This highly acclaimed Italian independent film, produced by Curzon, and directed by Alice Rohrwacher, has been on my watchlist for a long time. It is one of the highest rated films of the decade, and is very much revered by its fans. In fact, many people describe it as one of the best films of the decade, which, as we traverse the halfway point of said-decade, is no mean feat. I was always goin

The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) Dir: Val Guest
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQPBptzjcPz/?igsh=MWx5a2t6NDF3YmJwOA== Also known as 'The Creeping Unknown' , this Val Guest directed science fiction horror, from the iconic Hammer Productions, is a film I've wanted to watch a fair bit ever since I started this odyssey into the iconic selection of classic British horror that is the Hammer filmography. I have seen this one advertised quite heavily on Hammer's website, and it seems to be well-regarded - all the impe
