My Haiku Revu of the 2013 thriller/dark comedy Cheap Thrills

Maudlin money makes,
Birthday box bought by bribery,
Fallow for friendship

Loose Lips, have just put up my review of Dumont's "P'tit Quinquin".c

Sometime near the beginning of August the surprisingly versatile culture blog, Loose Lips, hooked me up with a screener of 808, the documentary from Arthur Baker...

My Haiku Revu of the 2013 thriller, You're Next:

Family repast,
With a dash of bloody gore,
No soup for you, Zee.

I've never seen Mr Show before. Now I have, and now you can too.

The new teaser trailer for Star Wars The Force Awakens...

I managed to get my hands on a preview copy of the strangely sublime Der Samurai...

As the sun rose on a muggy June morning and the horror loving inhabitants of the Frightfest queue started packing their various portable lawn chairs and polyester sleeping bags away, a sombre and tired figure shambled his way zombie-like into the morass of yawning bodies.

It may seem incongruous, but reclining over sun-kissed sand whilst an azure sea fizzed across my slowly tanning feet was a good place to cogitate on the horror film festival that was Frightfest 2013

My Haiku Revu of Wither:

Please check family for,
Black vomit, rolling eyes, sharp bite,
If found; run very fast

My Haiku Revu of Frankenstein's Army.

Recon squad confronts,
A Nazi Midnight Meat Massacre,
More Than One Head Lost.

Looks like 47 Ronins is about to hit...

A little video from our Gallic cousins showing the aftermath of a party...

10 pretty decent films from Edgar Wright courtesy of Total Film...

Looks like they have remade Oldboy...

A very odd old film based on a book by Harlan Ellison.

Currently working my way through the first season of the Tatami Galaxy anime series...

My current favourite Anime TV series, Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex, shares the same characters as the Ghost In The Shell Manga but warped through a Heisenberg uncertainty filter...

Alfonso Cuaron who brought us the decidedly grimy Children Of Men surfaces a paean to agoraphobia...

Frightfest is here again, with its 14th incarnation, Frightfest 2013!

New trailer from the guys that worked on Stand Alone Complex.

Check out this short called Silicon Bootdrive which some of the guys that are working with Production I.G. have put together.

It looks likely at the moment that Nuclear power is our future as wind-power/tidal/solar aren't going to cut it as a replacement for fossil fuels without having some un-expected side effects in our environment.

So World War Z... a brief review; a handful of amazing set pieces but nothing much like the book...

My haiku review of Tulpa:

"Laughter medicine,
Stat!" said the new director,
in Giallo writ small.

My haiku review of The Possession:

"Box contains small parts",
Hebrew label reads, parent
Spidey sense faulty.

My haiku review of Outpost - Black Sun:

If zombie nazis,
Are nuked from orbit, would we
Notice or feign care?

From Hard Ticket To Hawaii... not sure what I just saw...

My Haiku Revu of Maniac.

Thumping soundtrack binds,
Large eyed merciless stalker,
To a neon nightmare.

Ok, so I will be watching this film at some stage...

My haiku review of Grabbers.

Only Ireland's
Children, can defeat space men
by their last orders

My haiku review of V/H/S:

five house breakers and,
A long dead man in a chair?
Horror film engage!

My haiku review of Cockneys Vs Zombies:

Zombie Destruction,
via the grey senescent,
and their TV heirs.

My haiku review of Stitches:

What is so fearsome,
Of a painted sad faced clown,
that can never die.

Our haiku review of After:

They met on the bus,
But where did the humans go?
Black fog is dodgy

My haiku review of Sleep Tight:

Catalan concierge
Makes unhappy bedfellow
But adept stalker.

My haiku review of Berberian Sound Studio:

Gibbering Goblins
Trap foley artist lost soul
Mashing ripe melons.

Our haiku review of [REC]3: Genesis:

Guest bitten by dog,
Evil virus spreads too quickly,
Will chainsaw help us?

Our haiku review of Sinister:

Family moved house,
Spooky movies found in the attic,
This will not end well.

My haiku review of The Seasoning House:

Broken ears protect,
Stole girl to slave existence,
Ready for revenge.

Every year since 2000, London during the August bank holiday has been home to a festival of blood and gore as some of the best horror movies of the past and present have been shown at Frightfest.

Tickets for Frightfest 2012 are now on sale, and the list of films has been announced. This year sees the festival in the Empire cinema on Leicester square spread over three screens, with a Rediscovery screen showing some old classics, the Discovery screen for breakthrough films and the Main screen beaming the year's horror highlights direct into the neo-cortex of the attending midnight movie maniacs.

My haiku review of Prometheus:

Director finds god,
contained in human genome,
ruins film in process

My haiku review of The Happiness of the Katakuris.

Inverted Von Trapp,
Building a dream together,
Serenading bones

My haiku review of I Saw The Devil.

Irresistable,
Forces immovable nut,
Swift carnage ensues

My haiku review of DeadHeads.

I'm talking zombie,
Running from the man and chomp,
More pathos silent

My haiku review of George A Romero’s Martin.

Man in a white suit,
Vampire Boy in a worn town,
Fast Kill Him With Fire!
