Road Games (1981) 92% 10/10 EDIT “Road Games is an intriguing, stylish thriller and heightens the paranoia that Keach's character feels, particularly in the verbal games that he plays with his passengers to pass the time.” – Starburst Oct 23, 2020 Full Review Black Magic II (1976) 7/10 EDIT “Black Magic 2 is a delight for the majority of its ninety-one-minute running time.” – Starburst Oct 12, 2020 Full Review The Axiom (2018) 6/10 EDIT “The overall idea behind the film does border on the far-fetched, but works fair enough as a hook on which to base the effective gore and shocks.” – Starburst Oct 4, 2020 Full Review A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Farmageddon happily retains the inventive action of the early classic shorts, and there is more than enough in the frame to hold the attention throughout.” – Starburst Sep 16, 2019 Full Review A Clockwork Orange (1971) 86% 9/10 EDIT “From the opening stare through to the climax, McDowell owns the screen throughout and interprets Burgess' words with enthusiastic vigour.” – Starburst Apr 24, 2019 Full Review The Haunting of Sharon Tate (2019) 18% 7/10 EDIT “Ultimately, the film rises and falls on the strength of a strong central performance from Duff amidst some jarring moments of horror and violence.” – Starburst Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Rust Creek (2018) 85% 7/10 EDIT “There's a touch of film noir within the story which lends itself more to the likes of classic Coen Brothers offerings...” – Starburst Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Devil's Path (2018) 56% 6/10 EDIT “Devil's Path doesn't have the delicious double twist of What Keeps You Alive, and in terms of pacing it does take a little too much time to get to where the audience would like it to be as a bonafide shocker” – Starburst Feb 20, 2019 Full Review The Unholy (1988) 25% 6/10 EDIT “After a bright and bloody opening, the film settles into a more mystical story before building to an atmospheric, if silly, climax.” – Starburst Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Mystic Demon Killer (2017) 6/10 EDIT “It's a cheap and cheerful affair at times, but as a low budget film it does have a lot to offer, reminiscent of some of Charles Band's offerings mixed with more recent British cult favourites.” – Starburst Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Distorted (2018) 18% 7/10 EDIT “Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings.” – Starburst Jan 29, 2019 Full Review The Dark (2018) 89% 7/10 EDIT “An atmospheric film at times and has some interest, but fans expecting a few more shocks throughout will feel short-changed.” – Starburst Jan 15, 2019 Full Review All the Devil's Men (2018) 25% 7/10 EDIT “It is refreshing to see a British-set thriller, albeit a little old-hat by today's standards that can provide the sort of visual stimulant that the examples stateside have done for decades.” – Starburst Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Silencio (2018) 38% 8/10 EDIT “It's an interesting effort and Villareal has much to be pleased with, as does the target audience after they watch this.” – Starburst Oct 31, 2018 Full Review The Book of Birdie (2017) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Fans expecting jump moments and leaps out of the closet will not be satisfied by this. However, if you are looking for a more compassionate analysis of how people see the world, then there is something of appeal in the film.” – Starburst Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) 37% 6/10 EDIT “There is a nice virtual-reality gag that is well worth the price of entry and the film sells well on the strength of Atkinson, who is at his level best here.” – Starburst Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Grizzly (1976) 45% 6/10 EDIT “Marked as a rip-off of Spielberg's classic Jaws, Grizzly certainly and desperately fails in its intent and overall, you can spot the similarities throughout.” – Starburst Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Blood Child (2018) 7/10 EDIT “A gem of a genre piece.” – Starburst Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Lucky (2017) 97% 8/10 EDIT “A worthy coda to a great career.” – Starburst Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Diane (2017) 88% 7/10 EDIT “Stylistically dark and broody at times, Diane is a contrast from other films in the genre... Good performances from Smith and Avers heighten the film.” – Starburst Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Frightmare (1981) 7/10 EDIT “Stylistically, it is reminiscent of some of those classic Hammer House of Horrors and Phantasm, and it does retain some good old cultish charm throughout.” – Starburst Sep 5, 2018 Full Review What Keeps You Alive (2018) 82% 8/10 EDIT “It holds your attention for much of its ninety-nine minutes duration and the performances from Allen and Anderson make this a highly-effective two-hander.” – Starburst Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires (2018) 88% 9/10 EDIT “The plot and idea are simple and predictable and if - like this writer - you have seen any number of those classic Joel Silver and Steven Seagal flicks, then this is right up your dark alley.” – Starburst Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Rokuroku: The Promise of the Witch (2017) 60% 7/10 EDIT “If you buy into the cross-cutting of the various tales, then this is quite an effectively creepy yarn.” – Starburst Aug 17, 2018 Full Review What Still Remains (2018) 90% 8/10 EDIT “Josh Mendoza's post-apocalyptic drama What Still Remains taps into the same dystopian elements that helped to heighten the likes of The Hunger Games franchise and The Road.” – Starburst Aug 9, 2018 Full Review
