Just a quick update: There won't be as many reviews as usual in the coming week or so, but we've got an extensive Charlie Chaplin retrospective on the horizon, as well as reviews of the Fast and Furious franchise! Stay tuned!
There's a lot of scary things in this world; the never ending threat of nuclear destruction , the knowledge of our own mortality and the thought that maybe, just maybe, all those ghost stories and myths might have some truth in them. It's with this in mind, and the spirit of the Halloween season that I present my favourite * horror films: THE TOP TEN HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME by - Grant Kanigan - 10. The Blair Witch Project, (1999): Although it may seem dated in the post- Paranormal Activity age, hand-held, first-person films weren't a thing until this 1999 masterpiece of low-budget scares hit the scene. Writer/Directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez hit cinematic and box-office gold with their film, fooling audiences into thinking the "project" was real; a simple, believable myth, non-actors having their wits pushed to the breaking point, and a mysterious video, so oddly shot, it had to have been shot ...
TEN MORE TERRIFYING FILMS or; how I learned to stop worrying and love scary movies by - Grant Kanigan - It's once again that time of year: Halloween! Last year, I posted my Top Ten Horror Films of All Time , and received quite a response from readers. This year, I've decided to simply highlight ten horror films, some of which are excellent genre pieces - others so bad they're absolutely hilarious. Without further ado, (and in no particular order), here's ten more frightening flicks to get you in this months mindset: 10.

Dunkirk (2017) Directed by : Christopher Nolan Written by : Christopher Nolan Starring : Kenneth Branagh, T om Glynn Carney, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Harry Styles, Fionn Whitehead Rating : PG* Release Date : July 21, 2017 A soldier watches the sky from within a sea of soldiers. Image Source Warning: If you plan on seeing Dunkirk, I would do so with fresh eyes. This review contains a multitude of 'spoilers.' Within cinema, especially the English speaking world, the war genre has always been popular, and has always been a sure-fire way to make a few bucks at the box office. That's not to say war films don't have their merit - both World Wars were definitive moments in the history of man. The first world war was an exercise in sadism and misery, and the second pushed the limits of human indecency to the breaking point. Like one of the characters in David Ayer's underrated Fury says: "it's a hell of ...
