Spoilers!

I have a heard a lot of talk recently on the subject of spoilers and the impact they have on the enjoyment of spoilable media. I thought I’d take some time to lay out what I aim to do at this site and where I sit on the matter.

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.

Recommendations

I was asked by a good friend of mine if I could recommend any genuinely scary films, he was wondering if such a thing still exists. I thought this would be a good blog post for a couple reasons. Firstly to open a few people up to some films they may not have heard of or seen, and secondly to give an idea of my tastes and what I think makes good horror. I set myself the rule that they all have to be made since the turn of the millennium, so this is by no means a comprehensive list, but I just wanted to prove that there is still good horror being made. Modern horror is not just The Conjuring and Insidious bullshit we see in the cinemas.
