As some might have guessed from my previous posts, I quite regularly find myself on horror binges. More than that, though, I sometimes actively search for unique and interesting horror – I don’t care whether it is violent, scary, psychological, English-language or anything, I am just always on the hunt. One of the most interestingContinue reading “I Will Never Spend Midsommar in Sweden!”

What is it With Me and Priories?!
(Review-ish!) It feels like a long time ago now, but once upon a time I was enrolled as a PhD student at the University of York. I was investigating the role of religious houses (two in York, two in London) in their surrounding communities, and I found out some really cool stuff. I won’t goContinue reading “What is it With Me and Priories?!”
The Insidious Nature of Lockdown…
So, every now and again I get these periods where I just need to scratch an itch to watch some good, interesting horror films. I tend not to go for slashers or gore anymore – I prefer interesting ideas and stories, things that make you ask questions or think! With that in mind, I turnedContinue reading “The Insidious Nature of Lockdown…”
A Number 2 That Wasn’t… Well, You Know!!
Sorry for the terrible pun there, I couldn’t resist. Lilo and Stitch is one of my wife’s favourite Disney films, and with our current access to Disney+ we discovered that there are not only two sequels, but also a whole animated series. We’ve not watched those (yet?) but we really liked Lilo and Stitch 2:Continue reading “A Number 2 That Wasn’t… Well, You Know!!”
Preda-don’t-bother!
Slow connection, repetitive gameplay, lazy animation and god-damned loot boxes… The eponymous Hunting Grounds of the upcoming ‘Predator: Hunting Grounds’ are clearly your wallet and inflated fan-service! But it is rather fun for a while, and worth a go if it’s cheap… Special thanks for my gaming crew for their opinions as well! The Tl;DrContinue reading “Preda-don’t-bother!”
Defective – But We Love Him Anyway
It’s Friday, so I thought that of all the things that people might want reviewed to kick start their weekend, my dog Ragnar deserved some limelight for once in his fluffy life. So here you go, a review of my dog – because why not!*Notice: No Ragnars were harmed in the making of this post,Continue reading “Defective – But We Love Him Anyway”
Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo – My First Time in FF7!
I’ve never had the opportunity to play Final Fantasy VII before, having been somewhat put off by its gameplay style when I was younger (and more foolish) and then subsequently by its age. Playing this demo, then, is my first foray and while some people might compare it, I am coming at it with aContinue reading “Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo – My First Time in FF7!”
It's not Rocket Science… Except that it is…
So for Christmas (ages ago now, I know) I was given a Lush bath bomb called Rocket Science by my brother in law and I have only just gotten around to trying it out. It was fun! No Tl;Dr Version this time, but there are photographs! The Verdict Bath bombs are a bit of aContinue reading “It's not Rocket Science… Except that it is…”
I Aten't Dead!! – Resident Evil 3: Raccoon City Demo
I saw that a demo for Resident Evil 3 Nemesis remake was available on the PS Store and I couldn’t help myself. Jill Valentine is a MAJOR videogame character crush of mine, so getting the chance to play her in this new imagining of Resi3 is awesome! The Tl;Dr Version Friends who knew me backContinue reading “I Aten't Dead!! – Resident Evil 3: Raccoon City Demo”
Noah: Wet Blanket or Cinematic Godsend?
I’ve been meaning to watch this movie for quite a while and what with self-isolation being the current to-do, and stress-related insomnia getting the better of me, I decided one sleepless night to give it a watch. Here are my thoughts…! The Tl;Dr Version Noah is an interesting film with some new ideas and absolutelyContinue reading “Noah: Wet Blanket or Cinematic Godsend?”
