The Innkeepers

A genuinely involving and disconcerting chiller that thankfully eschews any trendy post-modernism

11 May 2012

Having established his credentials as a serious genre fan with a spot-on homage to 80s horror movies in The House of the Devil, writer-director Ti West reaches even further back into the past with this slow-burning thriller. Like all good haunted house…

By-the-numbers horror from Darren Lynn Bousman, inspired by calendar numerology

The trailer for Lovely Molly, the new film from Blair Witch director Eduardo Sánchez

More close-up crying from the found footage pioneer

Grabbers
Date	Location
When a trawler is attacked and the shore is found littered with dead marine life, something is clearly wrong on Erin Island.
