The House That Bled to Death (Hammer House of Horror episode 5)
The House That Bled to Death kicks off strong and stays strong throughout its 50 minutes. It keeps a sustained anxiousness until it’s very final scenes. What is ‘The house that bled to death about?

We open the episode to see a small boy looking around a laboratory at the different coloured powders on the shelf. He then proceeds to eat one of the powders, which immediately sends him into a trance-like fit before dying on the grass outside. His parents run out after hearing breaking glass only to find…

The Thirteenth Reunion (Hammer House of Horror episode 2)
Leading on from the series’ opener, Witching Time, is the second episode of the eighties British anthology series Hammer House of Horror.

Ruth is a newspaper reporter who has been stuck…

Too alive – Thoughts on the game Outlast
Dark, disturbing and utterly terrifying. I don’t think I’ve been quite so scared playing a game than I have been with Outlast. It came to a point where being killed was a blessed relief from then suspended tension. Things were always going to get bad for our hero, I just didn’t foresee how bad things would…

American Horror Story: Cult (Episode 1 – Election Night)
American horror story is back for is 7th series this week and not a moment too soon. I really enjoyed the slight departure in last series’ Roanoke story, however it feels good to be back in the familiar horror story format along with the title sequence. Only now we see a new kind of horror…

Until Dawn – First Impressions
Within the breathtaking landscape of the snowy mountains at night, a young couple play at snowball fighting. The pair are obviously an item and the soundtrack playing enforces the innocence and playfulness of youth. All would be fine and dandy if it wasn’t for the impending doom that leans over all of the characters. Until…
