Dawn In Damnation by Clark Casey (book review).
‘Dawn In Damnation’ by Clark Casey is a real page-turner of a western. Written in a down-to-earth style, it grabs your interest from page one. Initially, I was curious to see how the idea would play out. There is not excessive gore or an over-emphasis of the paranormal nature of the story. This is written […]
Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making Of Cujo by Lee Gambin (book review).
In the pantheon of great horror films, ‘Cujo’ seems a little out of place.

The Cleanse (trailer).
Here’s a trailer for The Cleanse film, a comedy horror flick which centres on a heartbroken dude (actor Johnny Galecki who plays Leonard on the Big Bang Theory) who attends a spiritual retreat, only to discover that the course releases more than everyday toxins and traumatic experiences.

The First Purge (first trailer).
Here’s the trailer for the new Purge movie, The First Purge, which delves into how it all started. Expect some Trumpian references this time. Is it just me, or is this an entire urban horror film franchise basically just riffing on the original classic Star Trek episode, Amok Time?
