John Kramer and his trusty puppet are horror icons. Saw as a franchise was the catalyst that started the torture porn phase of early 2000s horror films. But unlike other films like Hostel, Saw transcends a phase in time and the franchise is up there with such legends like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street […]

John Wick Chapter 4 Review

The Batman 4K Review

Review copy provided by Warner Brothers. The world’s greatest detective is back and this time he is doing detective work. It’s strange to think that after many incarnations of this beloved character it took so long for the detective side of the character to be front and centre. Similar to films like Seven The Batman […]

The Battle at Lake Changjin Review
