I was slightly surprised to find that The Cleansing wasn’t the only horror movie set in the 14th century that I have actually seen.

The temperamental nature of the weather on the Irish Sea leads to the two becoming stranded 25 miles from land in the Lighthouse and as their supplies start to run out, their grip on reality begins to fail.

While based on a true story,...

Movie Mogul Ltd., the film company behind horror thriller Panic Button, has begun developing Monster Project, and with Cannes heading at us like a speeding bullet, we got our hands on the early sales art!

Described as a “cross-genre” film, Monster Project follows six teenagers who undergo a harrowing transformation into monsters, imbued with various abilities and ailments, and are forced to go on the run, fighting for their survival.
