Season finales can be tricky. You've built your story up across all the episodes, and now you must 1) have a convincing and satisfying ending to this particular story arc and 2) entice people to come back for the next season. Both are quite relevant to Look-See. Landon Stahmer has built up such a mysterious... Continue Reading →
Look-See kicked off with a strong opening episode. However, it wasn't without its fault, with The Horror Club expecting a little more from the debut of James 'Deadmeat' Janisse. In episode two, titled The Second Thief, he is put in centre focus with the monster himself. Here, we are given more of his character that... Continue Reading →
1 hour 43 minutes| Horror/Mystery | 2018 __________________________________________ Films concerning the '80s have become the norm these days, with the success of Stranger Things and last year's adaptation of IT proving that there is a market for them. They tap into our nostalgia, making us feel something special inside. Of course, there're going to be... Continue Reading →
It's safe to say that out of all of Crypt TV's web-series, Sunny Family Cult is perhaps the most grounded. There are no monsters or ghouls, only a bunch of serial killers, which can (and has) turn out to be true. Season Two ended on a cliffhanger, forcing us to wait to see what was... Continue Reading →

When experimenting within the zombie genre, using the short film format is perhaps the best way to allow your creativity to flow. American Virus, which is directed and co-written by Shane Ryan of Mad Sin Cinema, is a perfect example of this. Why do you ask? Well, the short film is bizarre. It tells the... Continue Reading →
If you had to choose one sub-genre within horror that would be inclined to have cliches, then you wouldn't be alone in choosing Zombies.

In my review of the first episode of SHELLEY, which you can read here, I stated that the series as a whole was in a tricky spot. Could it break out and offer something else other than the 'girls do bad, must suffer now' angle? Judging by episode two, that doesn't seem to be the... Continue Reading →
The best thing about reviewing books sent to you is that you don't know anything about them. There is no particular biased because you're not a fan nor have you read anything from the author previously. And that's the case with Saga, book one in the Possessions of the Human Kind series. I'm saying this because... Continue Reading →
Twilight Hotel Vol 1 is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign consisting of the team, story writer RA X, artist Michael Aryn and editor Darrell E. Smith. It's the first of an intended four part series. However, it also has a tough job to accomplish. Not only does the comic have to be good... Continue Reading →
