2013 / India (advance look)
Read the new review before anyone else and help with the running costs of Hysteria Lives! for as little as $1 via Ko-Fi (I will send you an advance link!).
2005 / India / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
... a madcap Tollywood, Telugu language thriller that goes full slasher movie mode in its last 40 minutes."
1988 / USA / *** (JA Kerswell)
"This Canadian horror thriller is a heady concoction of slasher, black comedy and high strangeness."
2025 / US / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
BLACK MIRROR set at Camp Crystal Lake is perhaps the best way to describe MARSHMALLOW."
1986 / Italy / *** (JA Kerswell)
"Some will find it mesmerising, whilst others might think it frustratingly abstract."
2019 / India / **** (JA Kerswell)
"Forget two-and-a-half-hour running times and regular song-and-dance numbers; this is taut and suspenseful."
2005 / USA / ** (JA Kerswell)
"
Shiver me timbers! Or not. From the home of the mockbuster comes this rather mouldy killer pirate tale."
2025 / USA / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"The latest adaptation of R.L. Stine’s young adult horror novels takes the action back to prom night 1988."
2000 / France / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"This atypical, but beautifully shot, French slasher movie is perhaps the strangest of the post-SCREAM crop."
1982 / Imprint (Australia)
