Frightfest 2016 Review: Beyond The Gates
Fans of Jumanji (and defenders of it as a still-scary kids’ horror movie) rejoice, we finally have our very own, grown-up version in Beyond The Gates. The debut feature from Jackson Stewart, who...
Frightfest 2016 Review: Blood Feast
Remakes are a hard enough sell in their own right, but a reboot only a select few would actually be interested in? One that does nothing to update the story for modern audiences, or to enamour it to t...
