In a Violent Nature (2024)

Posted on October 26, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

The whole premise of In A Violent Nature is utterly routine for those who are familiar with the genre and yet completely refreshing as it offers a refreshingly different point of view.

Night Killer (1990)

Posted on October 20, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Night Killer is pretty bad. It is a laugh for a bunch of friends to sit and make fun off, however, there are some frustratingly painful decisions made to keep the story going.

Frantic (1988)

Posted on September 22, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Frantic is an oddity on Harrison Ford’s filmography. Whilst he is best known as Indiana Jones, Han Solo and Jack Ryan and his action thrillers, there was a period in the 80’s when he was something of a dramatic actor with range and critics were noting him.

Killer Cop (1975)

Posted on August 24, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Killer Cop (1975) is hardly a fun jaunt, however, it’s an intriguing police procedural with an interesting collection of characters at its heart.

Nightmare Beach (1989)

Posted on August 17, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Nightmare Beach doesn’t challenge or make any attempts to be a classic. It does manage to deliver the goods one looks for in 80’s slashers, scantily clad ladies, blood and a light whodunit.

Interzone (1989)

Posted on August 3, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

There is something about Interzone (1989) that makes it notable and special over other post-apocalyptic Mad Max knock off movies… and it’s not just Bruce Abbott!

No Contest II (1996)

Posted on July 27, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Some say Shannon Tweed action sequel No Contest II (or Face of Evil) (1996) is better than the first film. Could it be true?

Land of Doom (1987)

Posted on July 20, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

I thoroughly enjoy the goofy nonsense that Land of Doom presents and there is one particular reason for this.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

Posted on July 14, 2024November 4, 2025 by garethmyles

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F feels a lot like the recent Ghostbusters relaunch pulling as many characters as possible back in, however, it doesn’t use them as a springboard for a new cast to take on the franchise. Instead we catch up with some old pals and it’s a nice experience to spend some time with them again.

Death Has Blue Eyes (1976)

Posted on July 6, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

With a selection of Nico Mastorakis’ films hitting physical media before the end of the month I have finally gotten around to a … bit of a classic that Niko put out early in his career. Death Has Blue Eyes is a Greek production from the mid 70’s and looks wildly fun.
