The notorious possessed doll known as CHUCKY has become one of the horror genre’s most recognizable characters, thanks mostly to the last two films in the series, namely BRIDE OF CHUCKY and SEED OF CHUCKY. Those final two sequels (following on from the first three CHILD’S PLAY films) saw the character, voiced by Brad Dourif [...]
YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW IT ENDS, cries the promotional literature and online trailers for SAW V, the latest in the massive horror franchise. No, you won’t, but not in a good way, sadly. That tagline is rather misleading as the film doesn’t actually have a real ending, so don’t get your hopes up. That said, [...]

While some may argue we are enjoying something of a resurgence in ‘true’ horror movies, with your million SAW sequels and million remakes of classics, I am left wondering what happened to the horror films that would have you yelling ‘COOL!’ amidst your screams. The 1980s are a prime example of an era in which [...]
In an eruption of What-The-? comes news that an officially sanctioned sequel to Bram Stoker’s seminal novel DRACULA is to be published, and the movie will go into production before the first copy of the book hits the shelves. As far as needless sequels go, this really does take the biscuit, and will probably get [...]
