Road to Halloween – The Amityville Horror (2005) Review Before I begin, I’ll have to confess, I can’t say I’ve ever actually seen the original film, but if this remake is anything to go by, I can’t say that I really want to either.

But they are just one element of a beautiful and intricate story, the narrative is told mostly from Neho’s school years with occasional flashbacks from her future self. She communicates with the high…

It Follows Review

Mild spoilers included. It Follows has a brilliant yet terrifying concept, the film makes it easy to share in Jays terror as she is tormented by something pursuing her which goes unseen by all those around her. The real fear in It Follows is generated from the thought that if you were in jays shoes, no matter what, you could never live your life without constantly having to look over your own…

My week away in Budapest.

My week away in Budapest.

Budapest is the first place I have ever been abroad, seriously. A lot of people can’t believe that at 23 years old I have NEVER been outside of the UK. Due to this I’ve never been keen on the idea of flying but I coped surprisingly well with the journey, I was even slightly frustrated that I couldn’t finish watching The Hunger Games; Catching Fire before we started our decent. Me and my…

My favourite games of 2015

My favourite games of 2015

Fallout 4 This title was an absolute MUST for my 2015 line up, the last few years have seen me eagerly watching E3 in hopes that they would finally announce a new Fallout entry that we had all been waiting for, E3 2015 they finally dropped that bomb and it was a glorious moment. I had the pip-boy edition ordered as soon as it was available and it’s still one of my favourite purchases of the year.…

The Wolf of Wall Street Review

The Wolf of Wall Street Review

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a stockbroker“

Meet Jorden Belford a man with high ambition to become filthy rich. The Wolf of Wall Street is crazy, stylised and completely unapologetic and shameless. Prepare for three hours of utter madness and twisted hilarity as you witness Belford’s life spin wildly out of control. Martin Scorsese spends most of the films three hours…

The Hunt (2012) Review

The Hunt (2012) Review

Running Time 110 minutes

Director Thomas Vinterberg

Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Annika Wedderkopp

Thomas Vinterberg raises some powerful issues in a situation where a lie can spin violently out of control.
