A massive ball of furry creatures from another world eat their way through a small mid-western town followed by intergalactic bounty hunters opposed only by militant townspeople. Displaying a deft talent at balancing thrills with tongue-in-cheek wit, this was Stephen Herek's debut film. He followed it up with the bodacious 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' and 'Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead'. A superior creature feature, that may have you tucking your feet onto the sofa out of harms way. find out more...

George Romero's classic horror satire gets a rather more serious modern day makeover, resulting in a genuinely frightening addition to the zombie genre. The plot remains fairly true to the original, portraying a world where all the seats around Satan's dinner table have been filled, forcing the recently departed to walk the earth instead. Only this time they don't walk, see. They run. And it is this subtle change that moves this film from gory satire to an edge-of-the-futon suspense horror, as a find out more...

In this, the sequel to Night Of The Living Dead, the flesh eating zombies return. As they shuffle around a deserted shopping mall one can only but reflect on the damage supermarket muzak inflicts on the senses. Good shocker from the master of the undead, George A Romero. find out more...

The third part of Romero's zombie triology. A bigger budget than the other two and featuring state of the art zombies. A small bunch of survivors are holed up in a bunker with their hopes resting on a small group of scientists experimenting on the zombies. Tense rather than terrifying, and with a black comic undercurrent, it rests on the bleak observation that, zombies or no zombies, chances are that we, the living, will tear each other apart. Not for the faint hearted. find out more...

Made in English. find out more...

The most perverse Frankenstein flick ever. While the Baron's sister/wife gives the village stud a good going over in her boudoir, the man himself is carving up the locals to create two perfect zombies to spawn a master race. Incest, necrophilia and yards of technicolour entrails. Stomach-churning! find out more...

The classic version of Frankenstein, often imitated but its stunning style has rarely been bettered. For the unfamiliar, Frankenstein tells the story of a maverick doctor's attempts to create life from the body parts of the deceased. His creation (Frankenstein's Monster...) is the tragic embodiment of goodness. More human than those around him, the monster finds himself needing friendship more and more, before embarking on a doomed relationship with a small girl who takes pity on him. Needless t find out more...

It looks like a quiet Christmas but when those cuddly little Gremlins arrive chaos starts. Brilliant bits of black comedy as the partying creatures create total mayhem for the human population, whether with chainsaw, cars, guns, or any other suitable artefacts. Some scenes may scare young children.

After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, Hell on Earth is ready to erupt. An impassioned otherworldly prince, driven mad by man's wanton behaviour, defies his bloodline and begins a quest for the final key that will awaken an unstoppable army. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, most charmless anti-hero to save an ungrateful humanity from their demise. Rarely is a follow-on better than the original, but however much I enjoyed the fi find out more...

A man finds he is given more than he bargains for when he solves a Chinese puzzle, a doorway to hell, but his ex-lover has found a way of bringing him back, and his niece finds herself bargaining with the Cenobites whose greatest pleasure is the greatest pain, glamorous sadists with a penchant for ripped flesh, steaming viscera and flayed muscle. Barker's dazzling debut as a director creates such an atmosphere of dread that the astonishing visual set pieces simply detonate in a chain reaction of find out more...
