Celebrating music with six random tracks at a time

I do love a John Carpenter film. Last night (and today, as I was too tired to watch the whole thing late last night) I watch The Fog for the first time. At least I don't remember watching it in my youth. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It actually made me jump in two separate parts, which was nice. And it was more violent than I was expecting. It's not actually that graphically violent, but there were a couple of moments I did wince. And that's a good thing in horror. I loved how quick and to […]

I'll just start by saying that I really enjoyed Alien Romulus. After the atrocity that was Disney's How to train your alien (Alien Earth) I have been in need of a good Alien fix. This started with me finally playing through Alien Isolation and absolutely loving it. I then thought I'd give Romulus a chance, on the advice of a friend. And I'm so glad I did. What I thought worked really well The general vibes of the film. It felt somewhere between the first and second Alien films. And that […]

Its another classic to tick off the list.

Last night I finally got round to watching one of the classic horror films that has somehow been evading me for all this time — The Wicker Man (1973) Not the apparently-dreadful remake. Oh not the bees. I loved it. Despite knowing the ending already, probably through some kind of film osmosis over the years, I still enjoyed it all the way through. It was wonderfully creepy, occasionally inappropriate and all with a glorious feeling of a creeping dread. Now thinking back to the film […]

On my way to get some chips from my local chippy last night, my faith in humanity was restored. As I sat there waiting for red to turn green, I noticed white spraypainted words written across a sky plus billboard advert. The first two words I read were “Stop the…” and my eyes immediately rolled in anger, expecting the third word to be “boats”. However, my mood was immediately shifted when I saw the third word was actually “Racists” with a heart painted next to the whole […]
