In Defence of Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice
A defence of Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice; a gloriously cor sequel packed with killer corn, ridiculous deaths, hammy performances and everything that makes low-budget horror so much fun.
Horror is not a genre
What makes a movie horror? Is it monsters, blood and carnage... or simply the emotions it evokes? This article explores where the boundaries of horror really lie, and why defining the genre might be impossible.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
I really wanted to like *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma*. I enjoy horror movies about horror movies, I love a ridiculous 80s slasher, and I will always have time for a movie that takes something that looks trashy and disposable and asks why we become so emotionally attached to it. And this movie is VERY much about that.
