Bone Sickness

  

With the recent arrival of Birdemic the 'so bad it's good' effect has been all the rage. The Asylum film company have been purposefully cashing in on this idea for a few years now with breakthrough hits like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and Sharknado being big word of mouth money makers for the studio.

The Borderlands

 

'Lovecraftian' is a term that seems to have become quite in-vogue recently but what does it actually mean? It would be easy to reduce it to the idea that it is "anything in what there is a big monster what comes along and does stuff" but it means so much more than just Cthulhu.

Malevolence

 

I always start watching a film with the most optimistic of intentions. Delving into a film I know nothing about is exciting and trying to judge a film by it's title alone is usually a futile task (although some may be fairly self-explanatory; Slaughtered Vomit Dolls for example). Free from any hype or expectation is a great way to start to watch a film, it's even how I discovered my personal favorite - Antichrist.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

 

Like a privately educated shark or Carol Vorderman with a shotgun, serial killers are the winning combination of smart, deadly and, most importantly, fascinating. Unlike the first two (with the possible exception of Ice Cube’s worst nightmare in Deep Blue Sea) there have been an uncountable multitude of stories based on serial killers, from in depth police procedurals to twisted and gruesome portrayals of ‘real life’ events. Whether Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy or Charles Manson there are some pretty fucked up people out there who have in turn inspired some pretty fucked up fictional characters.
