Eerie and tragic

Hellbound: Hellraiser II

Scarily surreal

(Edit) 09/11/2020

A slightly shonky but also scarily surreal dark fairytale of malevolent desires, visceral horror and the unlocking of minds and worlds.

Hellraiser

Makes a lot from a little.

(Edit) 02/11/2020

A thematically rich if somewhat crudely executed blend of horrors that are visceral, bodily, familial and otherworldly.

Possession

Yay for Lovecraftian f**k monsters!

(Edit) 16/10/2020

An ever-escalating and increasingly deranged dance macabre of long tracking shots, domestic menace and madness both marital and monstrous.

Idle Hands

Smug but still funny

(Edit) 16/10/2020

A bumbling and somewhat smugly cine-literate stoner horror comedy of teenage uselessness, occult gruesomeness and handiwork.

Prince of Darkness

Mediocre scares

(Edit) 16/10/2020

A politically problematic, overwritten and at times fairly dumb but still partially suspenseful and atmospheric occult horror of faith and science.

The Fly

(Edit) 12/10/2020

The Love Witch

Weird!

(Edit) 27/02/2020

A very strange, slightly amateurish and over-explained, homage heavy and effectively ambiguous occult romantic drama of weird juxtapositions, gender relations and fairy tale expectations.

The Craft

Magical Teens

(Edit) 16/02/2020

A highly enjoyable if somewhat insubstantial teen drama of friendships and tensions, where magic is part and parcel of proceedings.

The Witches

Piffle

(Edit) 04/02/2020

A lame, garish mess of clumsy wide angles, gurning performances and zero tension that fails failure both as a children’s horror and as a slapstick comedy.

To the Devil a Daughter

Surprisingly modern Hammer

(Edit) 07/01/2020

A well measured and decently atmospheric occult horror of faith, knowledge and the clash between beliefs.
