The film’s visual style can best be described as 300 meets Mad Max, with a mix of heavy CGI, sweeping landscapes, and desaturated color palettes that give it an otherworldly feel. The wide shots look impressive, creating the illusion of a grand and immersive fantasy world. However, once the camera moves in for close-ups, the cracks begin to show.

I may never watch Gaspar Noé's Irreversible again. Not because it’s a “bad” movie, but because it is so profoundly disturbing. It is easily among the most devastating films I've ever seen.
Read MorePeter Pan's Neverland Nightmare (2025)
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is a bold and macabre reimagining of J.M. Barrie’s beloved tale, directed and written by Scott Jeffrey, who continues to redefine public domain stories in the horror genre. As the third installment in The Twisted Childhood Universe, the 2025 British independent film expands the series’ trademark style with a darkly creative and unsettling take on Peter Pan. With standout performances, commendable production values, and a uniquely twisted narrative, the film delivers a compelling experience for horror fans.
Read MoreNosferatu (2024)
For my money, Robert Eggers is one of the best filmmakers working today. The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman are all masterpieces. When it was announced that his next film would be a reimagining of F.W. Murnau’s iconic silent Expressionist Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror from 1922, I was instantly intrigued, despite my general distaste for remakes.

Stephen King famously detests Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of The Shining. Nevertheless, the film has gone on to be loved by movie fans and is the version that most people are familiar with. The iconic author took exception to, among other things, the portrayal of Jack Torrance.

Grace Glowicki delivers a standout performance as Ana, effortlessly blending quirkiness with a subtle unease.
Read MoreConan the Destroyer (1984) #RetroReview
For a long time, I was reluctant to revisit Richard Fleischer’s Conan the Destroyer from 1984. I remember thinking it paled in comparison to its predecessor. These days, I still think that. However, I also think that there’s quite a bit of fun to be had, once I decided to stop comparing it to John Milius’ masterful original and just go along for the ride.
