A Look ‘Inside’ – French Extremity Part Four

Behind You!  The stalk and slash film was really enjoying a resurgence around now, it is as though the terror of putting people in peril was ever more popular. France is a country that has done an admirable job in… Continue Reading →

MURDER MOST REEL – Part Two: Pseudo Snuff

  For this second offering in my series on snuff-themed cinema I want to begin by discussing one of my bug-bears in genre film journalism. Torture Porn. Nope, it’s not the films themselves I have an issue with, in fact… Continue Reading →

Interview – Bunny Game director Adam Rehmeier

I reviewed The Bunny Game on this site, which is about to be released to the US market via Autonomy Pictures. Meanwhile here in the UK it looks unlikely to secure an official release given it is the latest film… Continue Reading →

Unspeakable – Chad Ferrin (Cine Du Monde)

This film company has been releasing a few of Chad Ferrin’s films such as Easter Bunny Kill Kill, The Ghouls and this his first movie made at the age of 24 in 2000. I have to admit to not having… Continue Reading →

A Look ‘Inside’ – French Extremity Part Three

Trouble, not half! Another female director with a strong pedigree of films behind her is Claire Denis who is probably best known for her simmering and taboo busting pairing of two of France’s major cult stars in her Trouble Every… Continue Reading →

The Divide – Xavier Gens (Momentum Pictures)

French director Xavier Gens really caught my attention with his excellent piece of survival horror Frontier(s) 2007. This was a film that came seething out the underbelly of French new wave horror putting the country right on the map with… Continue Reading →

The Bunny Game (Adam Rehmeier)

The good folks at the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) must really love directors such as Adam Rehmeier. A micro budget horror film like The Bunny Game is just the kind of easy target the board needs to show… Continue Reading →

Yakuza Hunters 1 – Kazushi Nakadaira (Cine Du Monde)

Fed up with being torn to pieces in Japanese genre cinema such as ‘Guinea Pig Flowers Of Flesh And Blood’ and ‘Guts Of A Virgin’ what we need is the other side of the coin with sisters getting some of… Continue Reading →
