Faced with a DVD cover displaying three sexy nurses in dodgy makeup sucking on lollipops and the accompanying tagline of "They're running out of patients" to tantalise the wit area of the brain, it is best to adjust expectations to low before embarking upon a viewing of Candy Stripers. Even the avid B-Movie groupie will end up a little deader insid... Click to read more "Candy Stripers"

It is a rare occurrence that a comedy movie combines the correct ingredients to slip comfortably into the horror genus. British director Paul Andrew Williams manages to do this impeccably with The Cottage, and manages to take what starts as a bumbling crime caper seamlessly into a more traditional slasher movie without relying on lame humour so oft...
