Night Terror (A.K.A. Eye for an Eye) (2025)

/ Dark Mark / Leave a comment

Written by Elisa Victoria and Michael Tully
Directed by Colin Tilley

Follows the story of Anna who grieves the death of her parents as she moves from New York to Florida to stay with her grandmother. She falls in with some other teens, but when she sees a grisly act of violence, she finds herself trapped. (IMDB)

Night Terror/Eye for an Eye opens with a bright and peppy cheerleading number that could be straight out of one of Tilley’s music videos.

However, all is not entirely cheery.

The scene effortlessly lulls the audience with a sense of cheeky fun, before plunging the viewer into horror as lead cheerleader, May (S. Epatha Makerson) meets with an unpleasant accident and wakes from her dream with considerably fewer eyes than when she went to sleep.

But hey, at least who (or whatever) took them was kind enough to sew up the sockets afterwards!

Horror Hangout Podcast: Review

Presented by Ben Errington and Andy Conduit-Turner

A Podcast Where Film Fans Watch The Best & Worst Horror Movies EVER!
LISTEN NOW

Following my fun day out at Screams by the Sea where I got to meet Ben and Andy, as well as be briefly inteviewed by them, I have been catching up with some recent episodes of their Horror Hangout Podcast. I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t really know anything about it before I leapt in but I was, at least, coming to it completely fresh. I have listened to various horror podcasts over the years and do enjoy listening to other people talking about the films I love and generally enjoying the genre.

The Horror Hangout is comfortably familiar from that point of view. Take two big horror fans, give them a microphone or two, some special guests and let them talk; it’s a formula that everyone knows, but it works brilliantly. Of course, if you also add in some daft games like the Mount Rushmore of Horror, or Mount Rushhorror and a completely nuts title rhyming game and you get a couple of hours of entertainment that any horror fan is going to enjoy.

Sinners (2025)

/ Dark Mark / Leave a comment

Written and Directed by Ryan Coogler

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. (IMDB)

Michael B. Jordan plays Smoke and Stack, twin brothers returning to their Mississippi Delta roots to open a juke joint in their home town. They have been away for several years, working in Chicago, the name Al Capone being bandied about; they are tough guys with a reputation even after all this time. With a truck full of Irish Beer and Italian wine, there is also the suggestion that they might be in hot water if their old bosses find out what they have been up to. But the fear of reprisals from gangsters is nothing compared to the fear of devils and demons, rife in the superstitious South.

Quick Review: Every 7 Days

/ Dark Mark / Leave a comment

Written and Directed by Philip Webb
Produced and Edited by Amy Livingstone

“Every 7 Days” is a short zombie film, with no zombies seen… Seen through the eyes of a mother and daughters strained relationship. Will they pull together and survive, or..?

Every 7 Days is a new short short film from writer/director Philip F. Webb. Set in the bolt-hole of a mother and daughter fighting to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, E7D gives the viewer a weekly glimpse into the slowly decaying existence of those “left behind.” We experience this through short, weekly video updates from the daughter (ruby Leonard) as she mourns the loss of her father, the psychological effects of the apocalypse on her mother, and ruminates on her own fate.

As the “biters” grow stronger and smarter, will they survive?

You can find out in just 8 minutes by giving the short a watch at the end of this review.

GNoH Review: The Dare (2019)

/ Dark Mark / Leave a comment

A rare family night for Jay takes a brutal twist when he awakens in a basement with three other prisoners. As their vengeful captor runs riot, Jay engages in a twisted battle to solve the puzzle to his past and save his family’s future. IMDB

While The Dare doesn’t offer anything drastically new, it is a great effort and, if you enjoy this type of horror, then it’s worth a watch in my eyes… actually, no, leave my eyes out of this…
