Firestarter Movie Review
It never seems to find its comfort zone with its attempt to mix cheesy horror from a distant time and a modern ethos that favours arresting visual effects. What we get is underwhelming imagery that more singes than burns and actors that are left out in the cold.

Morbius Movie Review
Jared Leto plays the Michael in question and he puts his method-acting chops to good use. The inner conflict of Morbius, being a vampire but one who has a strong sense of right or wrong plays large in his characterisation. His efforts in keeping the blood lust at bay make his actions relatable.

Black Friday Movie Review
Building on an already crazy premise (that consumption orgy in America that traditionally occurs on the fourth Friday of November), this Black Friday follows the beleaguered staff at a toy store. The fun begins when a pulsating chunk of flesh comes rocketing through the tin roof of the store and infects an employee stupid enough to look it face to blob and not run away as most sane folks would.

Studio 666 Movie Review
The story (of what little there is) revolves around the band recording their new album in a haunted house and as Dave becomes more possessed the proceedings become more and more gruesome. The deaths when they come are weighted more towards to end of the film. This makes the first half a little dry but rewards those with a taste for stage blood in the later reels as buckets flow.
