Aug 6, 2019Australian Exploitation Cinema Documentary
Hilarious and entertaining documentary about the Australian exploitation film that flourished between the late 1970s and 80s. The film delves into an arena of forgotten films and tells their stories with a great deal of detail

Insidious Chapter 2 (2013)
Rating: ★★★
Sep 13, 2013Haunting/Possession
James Wan proves himself consistently one of the finest directors working in the horror genre with this sequel to his 2010 film. The plot is trimmed to deliver a lean and effective scare show and Wan once again produces a series of eerie and unworldly jumps

Ok, so this doesn't have James Wan directing and is mostly a substantially less interesting ghost story before doing a repeat venture into the beyond. On the plus side you do have to admit that incoming director Leigh Whannell does generate a fair degree of eerie tension

Nov 30, 2015Giant Fire-Breathing Spiders
In the same vein as the recent fad for gonzo killer shark films, we now have one about giant fire-breathing spiders. The film is lifted from formula by a considerable sense of humour and even peculiarly brings many of the cast of the Police Academy series out of retirement

Feb 25, 2018Documentary About the Psycho Shower Scene
The shower scene in Psycho is probably the most famous single scene in cinema history. The idea of an entire documentary devoted to analysing a single scene is a bit of a head scratcher at first but quickly the analysis of film's context and the hidden meaning of shots proves completely fascinating

Mar 31, 2018Paranormal Investigation
After two fairly good initial entries, the Insidious series slipped into mediocrity with the third film and continues its downward slide here. The script is indifferently slung together and and new director Adam Robitel's clumsy jumpshocks are a far cry from the eerie effects James Wan pulled off
