CAM
Psychological thrillers are best when they’re relatable and (hopefully) original. ‘Cam’ ticks both boxes with camgirl Alice (Madeline Brewer from “The Handmaid’s Tale”) aka Lola facing the existential dread of being locked out of her […]
HEREDITARY
Hereditary breaks one of the cardinal rules of horror, upending what until this point lived up to its hype. Immediately following the death of her mother who was apparently involved in all sorts of creepy, […]
THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL
Bite-size horror for those who enjoy their shocks in smaller doses, Deathgasm Producer Ant Timpson’s thematic follow-up to the ABCs of Death focuses on the myth and folklore that has pervaded centuries of fear. An […]
WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE
What Keeps You Alive almost had the confidence in it’s premise to pull it off. Married couple Jackie (Hannah Emily Anderson) and Jules (Brittany Allen – It Stains the Sands Red), venture out to Jackie’s […]
GHOST STORIES

MOTHER! & THE BELKO EXPERIMENT
Breakfast reviews on 2SER 107.3 – ‘mother!’ and ‘The Belko Experiment’
MOTHER!
It’s a special feat for a film to so divide critical opinion that the trenchant reactions’ very nature, rather than pure consideration of the flick’s actual merits, or lack thereof, would go such a way […]
IT STAINS THE SANDS RED
Perhaps the creators couldn’t decide which film to make, in which case, they made both. The first is a fairly traditional zombie shocker which introduces a series of novelties later in it’s run, as Molly […]
THE BELKO EXPERIMENT
The Belko Experiment desperately wants you to believe it’s three things: A schlocky, no-holds-barred horror gore-fest; At times, a genuinely jarring shocker; and A searing satire on office politics to which any co-worker can relate. […]
MORGAN
A decrepit mansion in the middle of the woods. A tight-knit group with a secret. A monster lurking underground. Luke Scott’s (son of Ridley) sci-fi shocker Morgan may sound like your typical horror film. It’s […]
DON’T BREATHE
Like any good fright, Don’t Breathe came from out of nowhere. The surprise smash, made for under $10 million, knocked Suicide Squad from the top spot at this weekend’s box office, proving that however much you hype […]
KILLING GROUND
Silence is golden for a good horror film. Killing Ground isn’t the first shocker to be filmed in the isolation of the Australian bush, and based on the success of the formula, deployed to no […]
PERSONAL SHOPPER
Kristen Stewart’s come a long way since Twilight. It’s hard to command a thriller, let alone a psychological horror that rises and falls on its central performance, in this case that of personal shopper Maureen […]
