Last time we had a global depression the American President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to buck people up by announcing: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself". The trouble is that fear itself can be very frightening.

If LFF is the Glastonbury of film festivals, then Sundance London is becoming the Latitude or Bestival. It is more intimate, cosy and it feels uniquely special. It provides an important distillation of the best of the independent scene and deserves to remain an annual event in the coming years.

Film Review: Dark Skies

Jack Pelling | Posted 02.04.2013 | UK Entertainment
Jack Pelling

The chief problem with Dark Skies is its unfading sense of familiarity and despite a few red herrings, horror fans will have little trouble joining the dots from the off. The film is littered with genre clichés, and the obligatory twist is immediately foreseeable from the glaring contrivances in the plot.

A Casualty of the Porn Industry but a Pioneer in the War Against a Potential Zombie Apocalpyse

Ronnie Joice

Imagine every time you made love to somebody, you had Louis Theroux come up behind you and back you on the back. It'd be truly mortifying, wouldn't it? And that's just happened to this guy. I imagine the only reason he's still doing it is because he needs more money for his zombie truck

Blood Money: Why the Public Loves Zombies

Adam Baker

Back in the seventies and eighties, zombie flicks were disreputable trash, little better than pornography. Nihilistic gore-fests shelved at the back of the VHS rental store alongside other 'special interest' titles. Hiring Zombie Flesh Eaters was a furtive and shameful act. These days, zombies have gone mainstream. What the hell happened?

It is, of course, entirely appropriate that the estate of Bram Stoker should choose to mark the 100th anniversary of the author's death this month with a series of events, such as the publication of Bram Stoker's Lost Journal, and a special edition of Dracula.

Did an Ancient Curse Sink the Titanic - A Century Later Some People Still Think So

My favourite concerns the presence of a mysterious mummy aboard the ship that was said to have cursed the White Star liner before it left Southampton. Crazy? Perhaps, but at the time the story was written up in respectable papers such as The Washington Post and The New York Times.

It's an unusual experience to read a book written by someone that one actually knows - there is an undercurrent of determination to enjoy it in appreciation of their hard work. Luckily I am unable to be anything but honest (often brutally so) so this review is entirely unbiased!
