The Mangler (1995)
Dir. Tobe Hooper

A haunted industrial laundry press starts eating employees, forcing a frazzled cop and an occult-enthusiast ice-cream man to confront pure evil… in the form of workplace health & safety violations.

Heat (1995)

An obsessive LA cop & a perfectionist master thief 'fall in love', leading to the world’s most intense coffee date. Meanwhile, a crew of criminals tries to retire via a slightly excessive bank withdrawal that turns into a shooting range at rush hour.

Mute Witness (1995)

A plucky mute makeup artist stumbles onto an apparent snuff film set before scarpering through the streets of Moscow, outwitting crooks, killers, and bureaucracy with nothing but sheer panic and impeccable timing. It’s Hitchcock by way of Benny Hill, only with more scalpels.

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)

Craven's meta-horror dress rehearsal sees Freddy clawing his way out of the movies and into real life, stalking Heather Langenkamp as herself, before properly cracking the code two years later with Scream.

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

The once-effective dream stalker concept goes full Looney Tunes with Freddy now offing teens with power gloves and dream parachutes before getting blown up in 3D like a cartoon villain who really should’ve quit five movies ago.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

Freddy hitches a ride in a fetus to rekindle the family business, but what should be terrifying ends up a surreal mash of gothic set design, soap opera melodrama, and your man cracking jokes like the drunk uncle at a christening.
October 7, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Australia's Umbrella Entertainment has a pretty nice release, same region as us. Worth it if you can find it for a decent price over here. I think I paid something like 12 or 13 for this on Ebay.

From The Princess Bride to Willow & Erik the Viking, Film Utopia tackles the twilight of 80s fantasy. Expect arguments over what counts, Steven’s undying love for Buttercup & a nod to fantasy-adjacent oddities like Big & Mannequin. 🐉🎶

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)
Dir. Renny Harlin

Freddy goes full MTV Sitcom in a nightmare circus of one-liners, only to be outmatched by Alice, the quiet girl who basically speedruns a self-confidence arc by stealing her friends’ powers.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
Dir. Chuck Russell

A group of misfit teens discover their superpowered alter-egos in dreamland. Meanwhile, Nancy returns as the world’s least reassuring counsellor, while Freddy cements his career as horror’s ultimate stand-up comic.
September 17, 2025 at 10:48 AM
#NW
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
Dir. Jack Sholder

Freddy ditches dreamland and basically moves into a sweaty teenager’s body like the world’s creepiest Airbnb guest. Less 'effective possession horror', more 'unintentional coming-of-age' drama.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Dir. Wes Craven

A wisecracking burn victim in a fedora with knife-fingers turns slumberland into slaughterland, forcing suburban teens to pull all-nighters harder than my clubbing years.

Tron (1982)
Dir. Steven Lisberger

In a stellar year for cinema, Disney dropped perhaps the greatest example of "ahead of its time" ever; a dazzling neon fever dream where a programmer gets sucked into cyberspace to battle with glow-discs and light cycles.

Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)
Dir. Bernard L. Kowalski.

A local park warden uncovers an infestation of rubber-suited bloodsuckers in a Florida swamp, turning a tale of moonshine and adultery into an eco-horror PSA about the dangers of skinny-dipping.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet

A cynical studio science experiment resurrects Ripley as a part-alien action figure and straps her into a script bulging with clichés, space pirates tossed in from a different movie, and KY-drenched Xenomorphs.
September 14, 2025 at 7:44 PM

Alien 3 (1992)
Dir. David Fincher

Crippled by studio meddling & rewrites, Fincher's debut kills off fan favourites offscreen, strands Ripley on a lice-ridden prison planet, and delivers a bleak, brutal chapter that’s as fascinatingly flawed as the chaos that birthed it.
