When most cinephiles think about sensational movies, images of sweeping panoramas, glossy blockbusters, or million‑dollar effects usually come to mind. Big sets. Big budgets. Big explosions. Scare Me isn’t that kind of film, at all. In fact, Scare Me laughs in the face of all that and asks you to pull up a seat at…

I’ll be honest here. I have no idea what the fuck I just watched. This was one of the most out there movies it’s ever been my pleasure to sit through, and I loved every second of it. Gunfighter Paradise isn’t just a movie; it’s a full-on psychological ambush. Written and directed by Jethro Waters,…

Hammer was in trouble in ’71. They were like a zombie at a disco, trying to look cool, but their limbs were falling off. They’d just had a hit with The Vampire Lovers, but Ingrid Pitt had bailed, Terence Fisher had literally broken his leg, and the studio was actively trying to modernise and court…
