I tried Shudder for a week and here is how I got on

I’ve mentioned this numerous times before on It’s A Stampede!, but for those new to this blog, I am a self-confessed, card carrying horror nut. Of all the movie genres that exist, horror is without doubt my favourite. Each year, in the run-up to Halloween I watch a whole heap of horror films, and at…

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog

Just over a year ago (May 2019 to be more specific), Paramount Pictures released a trailer for a Sonic the Hedgehog movie – a big screen take on the popular gaming character.

Review: Parasite

Today served up a double-dose of movies for me, as not only did I head to the cinema to watch Birds of Prey, I also watched Parasite – Bong Joon-Ho’s black comedy that you’ve probably heard a lot of buzz about. The South Korean film arrived in UK cinemas today, and let me make this…

Review: Birds of Prey

The last time we saw Harley Quinn on the big screen, was via 2016’s Suicide Squad. It’s fair to say the film was a messy affair, yet Margot Robbie’s take on Dr. Quinn was a true beacon of light, which stopped the picture from being a complete disaster. This weekend Robbie reprises the role of…

Review: The Lighthouse

Do you like claustrophobic, frustrating, imaginative, dark, bonkers, and just plain weird low-budget movies? Yeah? Then have I got a movie for you? Last night I went to the cinema (a posh, arty cinema no less) to watch The Lighthouse – a psychological horror film from director Robert Eggers. The movie stars Robert Pattinson and…
