Piercing

February 17, 2019

For horror fans looking for something a little different, Piercing could be your new cult hit, as long as you're somewhat prepared to see some nasty imagery. Its absurd nature will certainly divide many, but by that logic, it's easy to recommend.

Mayhem Film Festival: Heartless – Short Film interview with Kevin Sluder

October 27, 2018

During the annual short film showcase at Mayhem Film Festival this year, the wide display of upcoming talent struck me. One of the most memorable and entertaining was Kevin Sluder's Heartless: a modern-day retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's classic story The Tell-Tale Heart. Here at Review Avenue, we were lucky enough to interview said director.

Mayhem Film Festival: Prospect

October 22, 2018

Prospect is an intelligent slow burn story of survival and redemption. It mixes familiar aspects of Westerns and Science Fiction to create a world where you can imagine hundreds of stories taking place. Its mythology is enticing, but thankfully the film itself is compact and entertaining.

Mayhem Film Festival: Nightshooters

October 18, 2018

Nightshooters never crumbles under the weight of my complaints. It's a low budget picture with big ambitions, one that's thoroughly entertaining and a true showcase of a growing filmmaker.

Mayhem Film Festival: Mandy

October 17, 2018

I think the hosts of Mayhem Film Festival described Mandy best. Imagine David Lynch taking a ludicrous amount of drugs, teaming up with Nic Cage and trying to make John Wick. That's Mandy.

On offer were five frightful films, of which I saw three: the UK premiere of Japanese superhero flick Inuyashiki, folktale horror anthology The Field Guide to Evil, and delicate chiller The Witch in the Window. Unfortunately, Cross Country rail services dictated that I had […]
