Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Review
Following the fad of classic franchises retconning their projects to give us a ‘true’ sequel – something the Ghostbusters, Terminator and Halloween franchises have most recently attempted – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest to receive a futile facelift (pun intended) with the chainsaw wielding psychopath ‘Leatherface’ making a reappearance. Ignoring the many other […]

In a year that has been as bonkers as this, it seems only fair that we get a movie, as bonkers as this. Nicolas Cage, Alpacas and a lot of bloody fun. Don’t unfasten your seatbelts just yet guys, this year has one last curveball to throw your way. Devoted farmer and family man Nathan […]
