The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

Let me start out firstly by saying that this film in no way, shape or form, is a horror film, it is an action film pure and simple, there may be the occasional jump scare, but that doesn’t mean it’s a horror film. The first Purge film wasn’t a horror either, but it was a …

Dead Silence (2007)

My favourite thing about when James Wan and Leigh Whannell create a horror film is they rarely, if ever go for a jump scare, it is mostly psychological horror or very atmospheric which is what a horror film should be, making me feel majorly creeped out is a much better achievement than making me jump …

This films plot has been done a million times before but this time there is a twist, the twist however has no effect on the audience or the story because although we were introduced to all these characters, there was not enough exposition to feel like they truly were a family, in that sense it …

Black Swan (2010)

The final line of the film is “It was perfect” and that is an almost perfect review of the film, the film is not perfect but it is so close. I believe this was my fourth or fifth time watching this film and I have adored it just as much as when I first saw …

Under the Skin (2014)

‘Under the Skin’ is a very dialogue light film, which always has its advantages and disadvantages in every film that chooses to use this technique. One of the biggest disadvantages that faces this film is that because it is so light on dialogue, the audience is never in the loop, it almost feels as if …

Chronicle (2012)

Chronicle focuses on 3 teenagers who gain powers from an unknown crater and, as most teenagers would, begin having fun with their powers, messing with people with their new telekinetic abilities. Sounds fun right? It is, for a while.
