• Film Review – The Canal @ Mayhem Film Festival

    There is much to fear in The Canal. The chilling sense of dread permeating the whole film, the question of whether David’s house is haunted or just his unwinding mind. The biggest fear, though, is that The Canal has, in my eyes, suffered the same fate that befell 20,000 Days on...
  • Review – Love, Rosie

    If you watch a film like Love, Rosie, you undoubtedly know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for. A romantic comedy to the core, the film packs in two adorkable leads, a predictable storyline and many clichéd moments. However, despite the cheesy tone and the use of typical rom-com...

    In Team Downey’s first major project, Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) heads to his small home town in Indiana for his mother’s funeral. Like most people from tiny midwestern towns in America, he longs to escape, and family drama spurs him on. His father, the town’s judge, is accused...
  • TV Review – American Horror Story: Freak Show, Episode 3

    Once again we return to the biggest horror show of the year, and unfortunately, this episode just does not live up to expectation. Titled “Edward Mordrake (Part 1)” of a two-part episode, this time, as it the Halloween instalment, I imagined we would get a super scary and suspenseful 60 minutes, but the...
