DVD Review: Don’t Answer The Phone DVD (1980)
Here we go again, another gem that’s been lambasted by critics armchair and professional alike: BCI Eclipse have dug up Robert Hammer’s 1980 sleaze-o-rama Don’t Answer The Phone and given it an uncut release. I do like my slashers but … Continue reading

He Knows You’re Alone (1980)
Within months of Friday the 13th‘s conquering of the box office filmmakers were exploiting every possible holiday and anniversary in the hope of capitalising on its success. By the end of the year audiences had also been subjected to Prom … Continue reading
Fade to Black (1980)
Some people take their love of movies a little too far. Take Scream, for instance. 1980’s Fade to Black was the natural conclusion for fanboy obsession, with the movie’s protagonist becoming literally engulfed in the fantasy worlds which he so … Continue reading
New Year’s Evil (1980)
*This review originally appeared on Pretty Scary, but the site has been down for an overhaul, so I just thought I’d reprint it here! Have a great New Year’s EVIL! Although it’s slipped through many a crack, New Year’s Evil … Continue reading
