A Netflix Movie to Avoid: 'Parallels' Reviewed
If you're like me and like to binge watch movies and TV shows on Netflix than you've probably come across one or two movies that have surprised you for all the wrong reasons. #Netflix seems to cater for almost anything you're heart could desire (well within reason) and sometimes it's hard to tell a turkey from an audience favorite. I'm usually a decent judge of character when it comes to movies however recently the "movie" Parallels blindsided me and I was left scratching my head for most of the evening. Good quality #scifi lovers be warned, this movie isn't anything new...

Hello Kiddies!!! TNT Brings Back Tales From the Crypt for 2016
Having grown up on a steady diet of anthology horror shows like Are You Afraid Of The Dark, then moving onto stronger stuff like Tales from the Dark Side and Monsters. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that one of the best anthology formatted shows is making a return to the small screen as TNT orders a 2 hour horror block for Tales From The Crypt.

It was announced this month that AMC (you know that small network that has got that really unknown zombie show on it lol) has acquired the rights to Joe Hill's 2013 novel NOS4R2. That's pronounced NOS-FER-ATU which should give you some indication it's not about kittens and fluffy bunnies.

Ridley Scott's on Another Alien's Trail in Low-Budget Horror 'Phoenix Forgotten'
In an endless sea of found footage movies clogging up our DVD charts it's refreshing to actually see one that is not only entertaining but has an actual budget behind it. If you're the sort of person who hates this sub-genre then my latest review for Phoenix Forgotten is probably not going to make you run out to buy this but you never know. The fact that Phoenix is produced by Ridley Scott himself may change your mind but who knows, let's delve a little deeper into this creepy Alien based story.
