The Magician

2005

★★★½ Liked Watched

The Magician isn't a great film but, Mr Inbetween is an incredible TV series that deserves your time and much more recognition than it's received to date.

Watching The Magician you can see the raw ideas of what was to become one of the best crime series of all time and you can see the beginnings of Ray Shoesmith who's easily one of my all time favourite characters. The character of Ray is perfectly brought to life by Scott Ryan.…

The Return of the Living Dead

1985

★★★ 2

This reminded me a lot of Re-Animator which I wasn't expecting. It's really goofy. To be honest, I was disappointed there wasn't more blood and gore.

In my opinion, this film is a masterpiece. It's a gory, intense and claustrophobic experience. John Carpenter's direction is impeccable, the score by Enio Morricone is beautifully atmospheric and Dean Cundy's cinematography is stunning to look at. I don't think I could ever grow tired of a lens flare.

While not all of Rob Bottin's practical effects hold up, there's no denying that they're impressively grotesque. The spider head transformation is still magnificent to look at, and David Clennon as…

Nosferatu

2024

★★½ 2

This is a really difficult review to write because I'd been looking forward to seeing this. I don't know what I was expecting but, it wasn't the film that I saw.

The best part about the film was the sumptuous visuals combined with it's gorgeous score. Sadly, that's where the allure of this film began and ended for me. The story of Nosferatu has been completely played out at this point. To be fair, it was always going to be…
