  • Diary Of The Dead (2007)
    Review preview for Diary Of The Dead

    Romero has started all over again as though his other films exist in some parallel universe. Just to prove anything a younger director can do, he can do better, the whole thing is shot cinema-vérité style.

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5
    Film students try to record the end of civilisation as they know it when the dead begin to walk. Plus read our with George A Romero.
  • Edge Of Darkness (2010)
    Review preview for Edge Of Darkness

    This is a talky affair designed to move away from the original BBC six-parter's cold-war paranoia in favour of a Michael Clayton-style corporate cover up.

    Stephen Carty · 3.5 out of 5
    A former detective uncovers his daughter's secret life and the reasons why people want her dead.
  • Here For Blood (2022)
    Review preview for Here For Blood

    The focus really seems to be on ensuring that the audience has a good time, whilst the cast and crew are clearly doing so themselves.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    When his girlfriend is swamped with college exams, a rowdy pro-wrestler struggling to make ends meet agrees to fill in as a last-minute replacement for her well-paying babysitting job. Tom arrives at an isolated family home where he meets the precocious 10-year-old Grace. But what starts off as a quiet night of pizza and video games quickly spirals into bloody, violent, demonic chaos.
  • I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)
    Review preview for I Love You, Beth Cooper

    Every time there is a gear change from ‘funny’ to ‘emotional’ it grates.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2 out of 5
    Mayhem ensues after a high school nerd declares his love for a cheerleader in his valedictory speech.
  • Skinwalkers (2006)
    Review preview for Skinwalkers

    Skinwalkers had me occasionally howling with laughter, whether it intended to be funny or not.

    Darren Amner · 3.5 out of 5
    A creepy tale of werewolves living among us.
  • Survival Of The Dead (2009)
    Review preview for Survival Of The Dead

    It would be overly enthusiastic to say that Survival is a true return to form after the relative misfire of Diary, but it is difficult to deny that Survival is a pretty good piece of genre filmmaking.

    Daniel Hooper · 3 out of 5
    Two tribes go to war in an undead apocalypse.
