Dec 4, 1999Mutants and Mad Scientist Gonzo Comedy
Wonderfully nonsensical film directed by/starring Alex Winter of Bill and Ted fame about the lives of a group of mutant freaks. Amazing makeup effects, a bizarre sense of humour and several well-known actors sending themselves up

Dec 16, 2001Vampire Brothel
The second of the films spun off from tv’s Tales from the Crypt. While the first film Demon Knight took itself seriously, this does not and is killed by a campy tone and a miscast Dennis Miller keeping up a running barrage of excruciating one-liners

May 25, 2009Creatures in the Fog/Stephen King Adaptation
Frank Darabont delivers one of the best Stephen King adaptations where the story of people at siege in a supermarket from unseen creatures in a mystery fog outside becomes a strong study in fear and prejudice, while the film comes with one of the great unforgettable endings

Sep 16, 2014Movie-Set Psycho Comedy
Jason Mewes of Jay and Silent Bob fame is cast as a rarely speaking, goat-loving hick psycho. The film comes with a number of other offfbeat characterisations that you feel should have made for an amusing horror comedy but instead everything slips into a shrill one-note pitch

May 3, 2013Comic-Book Superhero
A major disappointment. Firstly, stripping the superhero of the show of his suit is dull, makes for no more than a regular action hero, while the film's treatment of comic-book canon and reduction of Iron Man's No 1 villain to a cardboard threat ranks somewhere down alongside a Batsuit with nipples

Oct 12, 2013Gonzo Action Film
Robert Rodriguez escalates his earlier Mexican-themed action film into an insanely creative comic-book overflowing with science-fiction devices (and homages). The casting alone is side-splitting and Rodriguez's nonsensical absurdism wins the day
