WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!! So don’t moan that I didn’t tell you. Every now and then a film crawls out of the indie swamp, wipes the mud off its face, and reminds you that you don’t need a blockbuster budget to feeak someone out. You just need a good idea, two actors willing to go for…

Good advice. Immediately ignored. Leviticus is heading to cinemas June 19th via NEON, and the newly released trailer makes it clear this isn’t your standard ‘things go bump in the night situation’, it’s more ‘your emotions might kill you’. Written and directed by Adrian Chiarella, the film centres on two teenage boys played by Joe…

Grain of Pain have officially unleashed their second full-length, Behind Us All, which dropped in March via Noble Demon. The vinyl edition took the scenic route getting here, but it’s now finally landed, heavy in every sense of the word. To go with it, the band have rolled out an animated lyric video for If…

Well, I didn’t have this on my bingo card, but it looks like they weren’t lying when they said this would be horror. DC has dropped the first teaser for Clayface, and it’s melting my heart, as well as other, various, body parts. The film hits cinemas October 23rd, and if this early look is…

​I have mentioned elsewhere that old Kung-Fu movies will have their plots butchered quite spectacularly by a blind man with a hatchet in an editing room.

Memory loss is bad. Memory loss where someone insists they’re your spouse and you have no way to prove otherwise? That’s the kind of situation where you start checking for exits immediately. Affection is heading to select cinemas on May 8th via Brainstorm Media, and the new trailer leans hard into that creeping, reality-is-slipping feeling…

Something’s brewing out of County Cork, and I think it might be evil. Ireland’s Soothsayer have officially signed with Apocalyptic Witchcraft, locking in a partnership that feels less like a business move and more like two entities realising they’ve been circling each other for years. Active since 2013, Soothsayer have built their name the long…

Speed Demon is pulling into cinemas, digital, and VOD on May 31st, and the new trailer wastes no time turning a standard rail journey into a full-blown supernatural derailment. Speed Demon stars Katie Cassidy as Sister Lu, a rebellious nun already having a rough time before things escalate into ‘possessed passengers and ancient evil’ territory.…

There are limited releases, and then there’s this, blink and it’s gone forever. On April 24, Apocalyptic Witchcraft will drop an ultra-limited edition of Askdrömmar, the latest album from Frozen Ocean. Titled the Urban Depression Edition, the run is capped at just 25 copies. No repress, no second chance, no ‘we found a box in…
