Backcountry (2014)

Posted on February 14, 2026March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Adam MacDonald’s survival thriller, starring Missy Peregrym and Jeff Roop, is a solid, taut and effective take on the wilderness drama, though the ending feels rushed. A definite watch.

Fatal Games (1983)

Posted on February 7, 2026March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Fatal Games is hard to find. Much like Linnea Quigley’s fleeting screentime, the film is a low-impact curiosity that’s is about as much work to find as it is to watch.

Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1986)

Posted on January 10, 2026March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

This 1986 sequel lacks the original’s magic, suffering from a low budget and poor effects. While the plot stalls, Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone provide enough charm to keep this campy adventure fun for nostalgic fans.

Enter the Ninja (1981)

Posted on November 26, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Enter the Ninja is a curious first installment to a much loved trilogy of trashy Cannon films. See Franco Nero, hear Marc Smith and watch Mike Stone fight!

Escape from Safehaven (1988)

Escape from Safehaven: A gloomy dive into the Post-Apocalyptic B-Movie universe

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Posted on October 29, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a wild, fast-paced remake of George A. Romero’s 1978 classic

Day of the Dead (1985)

Posted on October 15, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Though now a cult classic, Romero’s Day of the Dead had mixed initial reviews. Critics praised Savini’s gore, but the narrative is seen as a slow, dark slog focused on unlikable characters and frustrating power struggles in a bunker.

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Posted on October 8, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” (1978) defined the modern zombie genre, cementing tropes like slow hordes & headshots. Its satire on consumer culture and commentary on societal decay make it a masterclass in entertainment & social commentary.

Fifty/Fifty (1992)

Posted on February 15, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

I get a real kick out of Fifty/Fifty and have seen it more times than I care to mention. It feels like a Greatest Hits compilation of 80’s jungle action movies

Classified (2024)

Posted on February 8, 2025March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

I’m a bit of a fan of Aaron Ackhart: Action Hero and have taken in his latest outing, Classified, were he and Abigail Breslin rock Malta.
