South Korean director Byeong-ki Ahn delivers another disturbingly spooky horror movie about phones... aptly titled Phone (Pon). Steeped in Korean folklore, Phone brings the kind of terror that fans of the genre have come to expect from Korea. There is nothing exceedingly original about this movie an...

With a copious amount of blood-painted axe murderousness at the hands of a young boy defending his naked lady jigsaw before the opening credits you almost guarantee Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces (Mil gritos tiene la noche) will get a positive review here. Throw in an abundance of bra-challenged eightie...

It's straight in with a gut-punch of visceral nastiness with Pig, the latest film from British director Adam Mason (Broken, The Devil's Chair, Blood River). A woman, terrified and covered in blood, flees along a deserted highway - where's she's intercepted by a man we'll come to know only as "Daddy"...

What do you get if you cross a group of jocky city douche-bags on a lads hunting trip (with a girl), a gang of dirty hillbilly inbred rednecks and a pot smoking hippie commune that worships a giant pig? You get Pig Hunt. James Isaac (Jason X, Skinwalkers) delivers a creature feature delivered in the...

Profondo Russo AKA Deep Red (also known as The Hatchet Murders) is considered among horror fans to be one of Dario Argento's greatest movies, along with Suspiria and Trauma.

Now here's an indie which pleasantly surprised me - in a sea of derivative and sloppy modern horror, PROWL (2010) stands out as a film with enough horror staples to feel familiar, but the skill to utilise these in an engaging way throughout. This means you get a sense of a filmmaking team who enjoy ...

From the offset it is quite apparent that the heroine in Shusuke Kaneko's Pyrokinesis AKA Crossfire (Kurosufaia) is going to go out with a bang, and not the kind of bang that a female in a snuff flick goes out with but the kind of bang that is likely to appear in a generic action movie either just b...
