It is a shame when a movie like Hell Fest this is let down by the very reason for its existence – a slasher movie is only as strong as its slasher and the fear that slasher creates.
A slow-burner, The Clovehitch Killer toys with your mind, leaving you to question what you already know to be true.
How To Get Away With Murder’s case-of-the-week format will work for some but those welcoming of the more complex journey of yester-series will find the current set-up lacklustre at best.
Another decent episode of How To Get Away With Murder, “Whose Blood Is That?” continues to build a solid fifth season but it’s yet to match the series’ highs we’ve seen before.
Distinctively reminiscent of the show’s first season, with it looking to unfold on a case-of-the-week style basis, How To Get Away With Murder’s season premiere is taking one step back, hopefully, in order to take multiple steps forward.
Despite the attempt to be original with a subtly spooky fogginess, Slice is a sluggish creation, doling out little bits of plot information at an unhurried pace.
Disappointingly, Peppermint is a film that feels thrown together, poorly edited and overly clichéd, with a failed take on the female vigilante.
Lizzie may be a fictional tale of a real-life crime that we will never fully know the truth of, but it sure is an intriguing and especially a well-designed one.
With adequate locations and a potentially interesting atmosphere, The Nun creates a darkly lit ordeal that is one silly “nun-sensical” roller coaster ride of jump scares.

A Second Chance manages to pose a shocking moral quandary without falling into an academic exercise by grounding its characters in real feelings.
In “Falling”, Sharp Objects becomes its strongest self, maintaining the fervent atmosphere, visual detail and world-class performances.
While there remain more noticeable cracks in the latest two Sharp Objects episodes than the earlier days of the miniseries, it endures well into the sixth hour as an unparalleled and enthralling television experience.
Episode 5 of Sharp Objects, Closer, is the weakest episode of a brilliant bunch but one still packed with fantastic character work and shattering performances.
