Film Reviews by VG

An ornate, lyrical and tragic slow burn tale of familial dread and horrors psychological and supernatural.

An equal parts absurdist and chilling intertwining of claustrophobic thrills, slapstick comedy and social commentary.

A massively over-stylised but nonetheless sensual, seductive and at times grotesque vampire horror of melancholia, loneliness and addiction.

A clumsily plotted and crudely directed erotic vampire horror of ‘unruly’ female sexuality crassly contained by patriarchy.

A clunky and creaky but well located and styled blaxploitation blend of vampire romance and detective thriller.

A seriously squishy, rather shonky, violently lurid and extremely wet Lovecraft gothic journey into body, mental and cosmic horror, marred by dated gender politics and as many narrative as physical holes.

A gurning, grotesque and unashamedly silly sci-fi horror comedy of big shoes, small town archetypes and slapstick japes.

A beautiful, fluid, melancholic and very twisted tale of sensual desire, visceral hunger, body horror, familial abuse, faith and existential questions.

A rip-roaring riot of campy fun, pumping songs and delicious fluidity, with deep genre affection and a thumbed nose to convention.

A cheap, messy sci-fi horror thriller of fears, nightmares and malevolence that offers some arresting and disturbing images but collapses under its shonky world-building, unmotivated narrative.

A sometimes disjointed and rather silly but also atmospheric and inventive chiller that combines sci-fi, action and body horror with menacing spaces and baleful visuals.

A profoundly unsettling and utterly baffling melange of imaging, distant sounds, identity, reality, dreams and film that collide with suggestions but never clarification of meaning.

A measured, compelling and escalating nightmare of biology, engineering, politics, militarism and folklore.

A creepy and atmospheric sci-fi body horror tale of mutation, hubris and the struggle to contain panic.

A relentless and profoundly unsettling descent into gnawing paranoia, frantic fear and the steady erosion of hope in the face of all-consuming conformity.
