We are lucky enough to live in an age that allows the rescuing and preservation of cult favourite genre films. Companies like Shout! Factory and Arrow Video have pulled out all the stops on stellar releases over the last few years. However, the company that has seen the biggest boom in both content and turnover is undoubtedly Vinegar Syndrome. Initially a rather small and obscure label, the company has crafted an impeccable reputation in the last few years with their unwavering dedication to the cheesiest of slasher movies and the most obscure creature-features. Always loaded with extra featur ..read more

The Last of Us was undoubtedly a runaway success, not only was it one of the most streamed programmes in recent years, but it also seems to have broken the curse of video game adaptions performing poorly. Naturally with such success, audiences are hungry for more, and last we heard from star Bella Ramsey, it seemed Season 2 was well on its way and was “likely” to premiere in 2024. However, recent comments from HBO drama head Francesca Orsi suggest a substantial delay, due to the Writer’s strike that has made Hollywood grind to a halt. “We were looking at The Last of Us for some time in 2025.

Perhaps the most controversial film of Wes Craven’s impressive 43-year career, Last House on the Left was prime material for a modern-day remake when the cinematic trend was at its peak. Released in 2009 The Last House on the Left brought in a respectable $45 million on a $15 million budget. Praised as one of the better remakes of the era, Last House was watched over closely by Craven, his son Jonathan and original producer Sean S. Cunningham. However, despite its success, the film has been lacking somewhat in the home media department, with rather ho-hum releases and sparse features… But that ..read more

Much hype was given to the title reveal and the audience reactions when the latest Exorcist instalment debuted a trailer at Cinema-Con last month. Reportedly “scaring the pants” off attendees, it certainly got genre fans talking about what might be in store. However, expectations have been significantly dampened of late with sources claiming that David Gordon Green’s legacy sequel to the 1973 classic performed rather poorly in a recent test screening. Those in attendance took to social media to air their issues with the sequel, chief among them being that the film just wasn’t scary, despite th ..read more

With a background in Contemporary art, fashion and SFX and with a love for all things gore, fantasy and storytelling, I fuse together these fantastical worlds with my ultimate passion of tattooing to create striking, bespoke and unique horrifying images which come alive upon the skin. Engrossed in the worlds of Guillermo Del Toro and Tim Burton, I am fascinated by the magical yet often dark, complex and peculiar landscapes of such directors. Whilst I have always been mesmerised by the sheer magic of Tom Savini, the manner at which he creates horrifying believability which can often be ..read more

Audiences just assumed they would and along with the likes of Paul Rudd and Finn Wolfhard would form the ultimate spirit fighting team. However, if there’s something one should never do in regards to Hollywood, it’s assume anything. Unfortunately, news reaches us this week that Ghostbusters legacy cast member Sigourney Weaver will not be reprising her role as Dana Barrett. But it mu ..read more

News reached us on May 21 that prolific British actor Ray Stevenson died unexpectedly in Ischia, Campania, Italy at the age of just 58. A name genre fans may not immediately recognise; Stevenson is perhaps best remembered by them for his appearances in a series of Marvel properties. In 2008’s Punisher: War Zone the actor took on the titular role, replacing Thomas Jane. War Zone was set to act as a reboot following the disappointment of the 2004 adaption, but ultimately bombed at the box-office, grossing just $10 million on a $30 million budget. In more recent years, Stevenson took on the role ..read more
