Goodbye World (2013)

Rating: ★★½

Feb 13, 2015Collapse of Civilisation

Another End of the World film concerning the collapse of society as a group of friends gather. Feels more like a variant on The Big Chill than a film about the end of everything but is not without its moments

Director: Denis Henry Hennelly

Actors: Kerry Bishé, Caroline Dhavernas, Gaby Hoffmann, Adrian Grenier, …

Frankenstein (2015)

Rating: ★★★

Apr 24, 2016Modernised Frankenstein

This is an intriguing low-budget film that sets out to offer a modernised retelling of Mary Shelley. If nothing else, it gives the oft-told story a very different spin than usual

Director: Bernard Rose

Actors: Xavier Samuel, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tony Todd, Danny Huston, …

Amityville: The Awakening (2017)

Rating: ★★

Oct 29, 2017Haunted House

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

Rating: ★★★★

Dec 22, 2018Haunted House

The original The Haunting is the finest ghost story ever made. One was sceptical that this remake as a tv mini-series of ten 50 minute episodes would come anywhere near that. Happily, Mike Flanagan proved me wrong.

Director: Mike Flanagan

Actors: Michiel Huisman, Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel, Henry Thomas, …

The Bad Seed (2018)

Rating: ★★

Aug 18, 2019Psychopathic Young Girl

The 1956 The Bad Seed is the original evil child film. All other psycho children films draw themselves from here. This is a remake directed by actor Rob Lowe who also plays the father. McKenna Grace gives a superbly chill performance as the child

Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

Rating: ★★½

Sep 27, 2019Sinister Doll

James Wan is one of the finest directors currently at work in the horror genre. The produced by James Wan credit is a less enthusiastic prospect and had consisted of total dogs spinning off more popular works.

Director: Gary Dauberman

Actors: McKenna Grace, Madison Iseman, Katie Sarife, Vera Farmiga, …

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Rating: ★★½

Jan 15, 2022Team of Spook Chasers Comedy

Sequel to Ghostbusters that was far better received than the 2016 reboot, giving us a new generation of ghostbusters. This succeeds largely by playing the nostalgia card for all it can

Crater (2023)

Rating: ★★½

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

Rating: ★★

May 18, 2024Team of Spook Chasers Comedy

Follow-up to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, reuniting that film’s mix of new and classic cast. However, this becomes a plotting juggle that is often straining to find somewhere to include everyone

Scream 7 (2026)

Rating: ★★

Mar 28, 2026Slasher Sequel

The Scream series drags itself for another sequel but at least performs a course correction by bringing back original screenwriter Kevin Williamson in the director’s chair, along with appearances of many past cast

Director: Kevin Williamson
