Cam Review – A Chilling Allegory And A Brutal Look At The Violence Women Face Online (Rating: 8/10)

Though I’m not a webcam girl or involved in the online sex industry whatsoever, I held a great deal of empathy for what lead character Alice went through in Daniel Goldhaber’s feature film debut Cam. I think that whenever you post anything on the internet as a woman, be it a selfie, film review or blog post, you feel the tangible risk of harassment or threats … Continue reading Cam Review – A Chilling Allegory And A Brutal Look At The Violence Women Face Online (Rating: 8/10)

The 50% Club: The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

Full disclosure: after marathoning every Nightmare on Elm Street film ever made barring the remake, I decided to check out Wes Craven’s cannibal classic The Hills Have Eyes.

Nick Cage is still batshit, and the violent situations he is placed in … Continue reading Mandy Review – A Demented Takedown of Megalomanic Men (Rating: 9/10)

Revisiting The Twilight Saga: A Lukewarm Defence

Without sounding too sad, instead of going out clubbing with friends, I often prefer to invite them over for bad film watching. It’s always better in a group; you have people to bounce your inevitably aggressive or incredulous opinions off of. I have found during the many times that I’ve done this that the most fun is had from a film you have genuine affection … Continue reading Revisiting The Twilight Saga: A Lukewarm Defence

Halloween Review – The Unlikely Horror Reboot That Doesn't Disappoint (Rating: 9/10)

Though I, like many others, have a reverence for John Carpenter’s original Halloween film, I’ve also always viewed it on some level as a little bare bones. There’s some teenagers, a masked murderer wants to kill them through various creative means, the virginal girl escapes, roll credits. To be honest, I’m more of a Freddy Krueger gal in terms of slasher films – there’s a villain with … Continue reading Halloween Review – The Unlikely Horror Reboot That Doesn't Disappoint (Rating: 9/10)
