Independence Day: Resurgence is not a great movie. It would appear that 20th Century Fox knew this very well. While international press – including us – got to see the long-awaited sequel more than a week before its release this past Friday, it was completely held back from US critics.

Well I may be working in Kenya at the moment but that doesn’t mean that, along with the fine folks of Times Media Films, I can’t still give free stuff away! The Conjuring 2, directed by James Wan, is apparently doing rather well, with some saying it’s a step up from its predecessor! I know what I will be watching when I …
I really don’t mean to disrespect James Wan and The Conjuring 2. The director is an incredible filmmaker who almost single-handedly revived the art of proper spooky horror stories in Hollywood and has also proven hugely successful on the tentpole blockbuster front with Furious 7.

Sadly, there are very few horror movies that are genuine scary and its a genre that has disappointed me over the years, with …
Tomorrow night, a bunch of you will be joining us to get the dinges scared out you by Annabelle, which is not the name Darryn goes by when he puts on his pretty dresses, but also the new prequel to last year’s horror hit The Conjuring. While the spinoff saw John R. Leonetti taking the helm, the original was directed …
A good loot box never feels like a coupon. It feels like a moment. …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
