The Favourite (2018) (a film review by Mark R. Leeper).
Early in the 18th century two members of the court of England’s Queen Anne fight a secret war between themselves to be the Queen’s favorite. The two would-be court favourites plot and scheme against each other and perpetually get in each other’s way. The film could have been called ‘The Madness Of Queen Anne’. The […]
Slender Man (2018) (Blu-ray film review).
A female slumber party decides to call up ‘Slender Man’. Don’t these people ever watch horror films of a similar nature? Of course, it doesn’t appear to work, so they go back to the house and watch a film. Nothing might not be happening but some of the girls start to get nightmares. One of […]
Cannibals And Carpet Fitters (2018): (a film review by Mark R. Leeper).
A company of carpet installers goes on their worst job ever when they have to install carpets in a mansion with a family from the London Chainsaw Massacre.

Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark (1988) (Blu-ray film review).
I haven’t seen ‘Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark’ for some time. Now with its blu-ray release, I’ll be watching it four times, as three of them contain audio commentaries. Unlike the Americans, we British only really came across Elvira originally in this film and the Marvel magazine, so we didn’t know much about her other […]

Set in a Chicago neighbourhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict – the collaborators and […]
