Despite it being a Guy Ritchie film and despite it being a bit over the top, I actually enjoyed the first Sherlock Holmes move. I thought Robert Downey put in a good performance. The new film is out in December and involves Sherlock and co. chasing Moriarty across Europe and also Noomi Rapace in her first [...]

I blogged about the Season of the Witch film earlier in the year, and that seems to have given it the right royal kiss of death! It’s not been released yet and according to various sources including BD Horror News has been scheduled for reshoots in September. It seems that there was a clash with [...]

Although there have been a number of werewolf films over the years, for me only three really stand out (I haven’t seen the recent remaking of the The Wolfman, so can’t comment on that!): The Company of Wolves American Werewolf in London (classic scene when they enter that pub in the sticks) and Ladyhawke I [...]

Some work seems to have been done on the previously threadbare website for Season of the Witch! Unfortunately the site still uses annoying flash players to slow down loading of content, but now there is more than just a brief synopsis and trailer video. You also get sections on: Story – the synopsis again with [...]
