Film Review: Arachnophobia (1990)

Posted on 02/16/2013 by Lizzie Duncan

SYNOPSIS:

South American killer spider hitches a lift to the US in a coffin and starts to breed and kill.

REVIEW:

Whilst this can hardly be defined as a horror film (it actually ended up being marketed as a ‘thrill-omedy’), there were still several moments which genuinely made my skin crawl. There’s just something about spiders which are inherently scary for many people, and so Arachnophobia did not have to try too hard … Continue reading →

Film Review: Warlock: The Armageddon (1993)

Posted on 11/21/2012 by HorrorNews.net

SYNOPSIS:

The Son of Satan attempts to bring his father to Earth with the aid of some mystic stones.

REVIEW:

The Warlock, easily one of my favorite wizard horror figures, is a guilty pleasure for me. Seeing this film no less than 8 times, I knew if was due time for me to review the movie, and thus making it 9. The first film which I reviewed … Continue reading →

Film Review: Warlock (1989)

Posted on 03/02/2012 by HorrorNews.net

SYNOPSIS:

A warlock flees from the 17th to the 20th century, with a witch-hunter in hot pursuit.

REVIEW:

The 1989 movie entry of “Warlock” put actor Julian Sands on the map with one of his most memorable (and my personal favorite) roles to date. Somewhat of a newcomer at the time, Sands might be remembered from a previous gig in the film “Gothic”.

Those who embraced the performance of Sands in the … Continue reading →

Film Review: Boxing Helena (1993)

Posted on 10/05/2010 by Nigel Honeybone

SYNOPSIS:
“A top surgeon is besotted with a beautiful woman who once ditched him. Unable to come to terms with life without her, he tries to convince her that they need each other. She has other ideas, but an horrific accident leaves her at his mercy. The plot is bizarre and perhaps sick at times, ending abruptly and with a twist.” (courtesy IMDB)

REVIEW:
It may start out looking like … Continue reading →
