Burnt Flowers, the new film from writer/director Michael Fausti, begins with a series of scenes swiftly moving back and forth between London’s Rose Bar in 1968, Islington in 1983 and the Islington Police Station in 1992.

The last location is where Detective Franc Alban has a visitor, Alice Kyteller. She’s there to report a missing person, her husband Austin whom she last saw eight years ago in a brothel. Why has she waited so long to report him missing? “I thought he might come back”. She can’t offer any information and hasn’t so much as asked his friends about him, but she is sure that she and Detective Alban have met before.

If all of this sounds strange, you haven’t seen anything yet. The director...

Multi-talented actor & horror queen Ayvianna Snow returns with a raft of hotly anticipated new films, including How To Kill Monsters, Punch & Wrath of Dracula.

Ayvianna stars as Velma in the award-winning How to Kill Monsters, a film described as a love letter to the 80s and 90s horror movies the Director Stewart Sparke (Book of Monsters) grew up watching. The movie delivers thrills, kills and laughs in equal measure, as the sole survivor of a blood-drenched massacre teams up with a rag-tag bunch of rookie cops and lawbreakers to defend a police station from an invasion of Lovecraftian monsters from another dimension. With a menagerie of monsters realised entirely with practical effects and buckets of fake blood and guts thrown in for good measure, it scratches the itch of horror fans craving a throwback popcorn horror movie!

Director Stewart Sparke says, “Ayvianna brings a sinister allure to the role of Velma,...

Amidst a busy filmography, Wrath of Dracula marks the third 2023 released feature for writer/director Steve Lawson – including the interesting Ripper’s Revenge. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s iconic 1897 novel, the story begins with Mina Harker (Hannaj Bang Bendz) receiving a letter from her husband, Jonathan Harker (Dean Marshall), about how he’s a prisoner at Castle Dracula. She travels to Transylvania intending to help her beloved, where she discovers a decimated village fearful of the mysterious Count Dracula (Sean Cronin), and the man determined to hunt the Count, Van Helsing (Mark Topping).

Considering how often vampires are brought to the screen, particularly when adapting Stoker’s novel, it becomes difficult to find a way to make these new takes stand apart within a crowded field. Despite putting the...

With Jack the Ripper’s disappearance, the spate of stories by journalist Sebastian Stubb came to a premature end as the murders stopped. He had nothing to write about and was at his wits’ end about how to survive. Then one fine day, he receives a letter, supposedly from the Ripper himself, gloating about a new murder, and Sebastian once again finds himself in the midst of another mystery. The unidentified serial killer was nowhere to be found for the past 12 months, but the letter describes his unbridled desire to hurt women once again. The message turns out to be true, and the body of a young woman is discovered on Mulberry Street. Is it really the Ripper, or is it a hoax?

One year after the notorious “Jack the Ripper” murders, the killings have stopped and his identity remains a mystery. Having made his career on those stories, newspaper reporter Sebastian Stubb (Chris Bell) is struggling financially as he is given less-demanding stories which are not front-page material. As he yearns for days past, Sebastian discovers a letter in his bag that claims to be from the Ripper, highlighting that the killings have started again.

Writer/director Steve Lawson crafts a compelling tale regarding the real-life murderer, centring around a reporter’s desire to succeed in his profession. Despite using underhanded methods to persevere, his love for reporting shines through thanks to the writing and Bell’s performance. A key example is when he gives advice about viewing a story from different angles, and how a good...
