First in Fright: The FANGORIA Compendium The Complete History of Horror from the Pages of the #1 Horror Magazine

Fangoria - Putting the Fan before the Goria.

(See what I did there, Because FANgoria, the FAN first… I don’t get paid for this).

An easy backing for this one. A magazine that helped shape my formative years.

A ★★★★★ review of 28 Years Later (2025) “I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above Entire and whole and perfect”. Nostalgia can too often leave us stuck yearning for a time long gone. Unable to move forward, embracing the past and...

28 Years Later (2025) is going to take some beating this year…

I really wish Sean Byrne made more movies. Between this, The Devil’s Candy (2016) and The Loved Ones (2009), he is yet to put a foot wrong.

Playing a bit of fantasy casting over the remake of The Bodyguard. Taylor Swift in the lead but couldn’t think of who would fill the Kevin Costner role.

I thought Riz Ahmed… but now I want him as James Bond.

I sure loves me some Cirio H. Santiago, but I’m not sure I love any of his films more than this one. Absolutely wild.

Is that…

Don’t make me want to watch it again… it was bad enough the last time.

Or

Don’t make me want to watch it again… and nothing anyone says will change my mind (especially when said in a Texan accent).

I’m confused (… it doesn’t take much).

A ★★★★ review of Maximum Overdrive (1986) Fuelled by the power of cocaine and the music of AC/DC, Maximum Overdrive has a certain… reputation. Stephen Kings foray into directing movies is so far over the line of “good taste” that it revels it...

Maximum Overdrive… it’s exactly the same movie as Zack Snyder’s Dawn Of The Dead.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

How the hell on this Earth has Bats (1999) only got a 17/15 split on RT?
Bats is a favourite of mine and I am shocked, SHOCKED I tells you.

As Roxette once said… “Listen to your heart”. Fuck RT… except @filmmomatic.bsky.social, he cool.

A ★★★★★ review of Night of the Juggler (1980) So this is where my giving out 5 stars like cards at Christmas bites me on the ass, because when I finally have a film that has me mesmerised from the off until the credits roll, one that I genuinely ...

I bloody adore this movie. I’m looking forward to not relying on my old, beat up VHS.

Not been loving movies for a while now, but there are times when an old friend pays a visit and suddenly a little faith is restored.

100k is approximately two home games for Everton or 1.33 for Man U. So let’s not blow this out of proportion.

These select few believe in a lie that their lives are made worse because of poor people in boats, when in fact if we stopped wasting £3bn a year on Trident it would help a lot more.

An overlooked great. Directed by Brett Piper (Nymphoid Barbarian In Dinosaur Hell). There just aren’t enough movies with giant telekinetic sentient crabs.
