Horror Movie Review: Adult Swim Yule Log (2022)
Adult Swim Yule Log aka The Fireplace, is all about subverting expectations and delivering originality, something that writer/director Casper Kelly absolutely nails.
Horror Movie Review: A Creature Was Stirring (2023)
Watching director Damien LeVeck’s Christmas creature-feature horror, A Creature Was Stirring is a lesson in frustration. Where you’re left constantly baffled as to why certain decisions were made and why it ever had to be as convoluted as it is.
Christmas Horror Short Review: An Unexpected Guest For Christmas Dinner (2023)
From ZMT Productions, written and directed by Zach Murphree, An Unexpected Guest for Christmas Dinner stars Chris Bryant, Taylor McGuffie, and Michael McCormack.
Game – Movie Review: Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike (2007)
Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike, what an absolute pile of rubbish this is. Featuring a story that is insultingly bad, awful animation, terrible voice acting, and has the audacity to go on for 80 bloody minutes.
Horror Movie Review: Psycho Santa 2 (2021)
The signs all point to something as crap as the first Psycho Santa, but that’s such a low-bar, surely Psycho Santa 2 could be better by default. Spoilers, it is, marginally.
Christmas Horror Short Review: Santa for Hire (2020)
From writer and director Blake Riddler comes the festive horror short, Santa for Hire. It stars Sarah Alexandra Marks, Louis James, Jeffery Louis Salkilld, and Teddy Wynne.
Live Review: Tuskar with Burner & Acid Throne at The Black Heart, Camden, London (21/12/23)
Merry f**king Tuskmass. It’s the final gig of the year (for me) and it’s one hell of a noisy, chaotic, and heavy gig to close out a phenomenal year of live music.
