'The Menu' is one of those movies that makes you wonder how on Earth a concept like the one it features has never been made into a movie before.

In fact, they've made … Continue reading ‘Black Adam’: A Soulless, Rehashed and Disastrous Comic-Book Flick.
The original 1978, John Carpenter directed 'Halloween' is probably my favourite horror film of all time. It is the yearly Halloween tradition that I have yet to break and never plan to. The iconic piano and synth, suburban flair and excess usage of pumpkins. The embodiment of evil personified as Michael Myers, a person in … Continue reading ‘Halloween Ends’ Is The Iconic, Campy and Unconventional Finale That I Loved To Bits.
