Review: ALL THE WAY THROUGH EVENING
Decades on, particularly for those of us living relatively privileged lives in the West, the horror wrought by the AIDS pandemic seems to be a thing of the past. Memories of Liz Taylor and red ribbons seem very much... More »
  

DVD Review: CHRISTMAS EVIL Isn't Quite What You'd Expect
Often grouped in the sub-genre of Festive Slasher pics alongside Silent Night, Deadly Night and Black Christmas, the misleadingly (re)titled Christmas Evil actually has altogether different ambitions. Though not always succeeding in them, it's a fascinating curiosity nonetheless. Originally, and... More »
  

Review: MISFITS S4E04 (Or, Resurrection Is Never Straightforward)
Misfits has never been a show that is afraid of killing off important characters. In some ways, it's almost surprising that Curtis lasted this long when others didn't. Now on the outside of this new and changed group, his interactions... More »
  

Short Film, Short Review: WWI Set COWARD Makes A Strong Case For Old Fashioned Sentiment

We here at Twitch like to champion short films every chance we get, which outside of festivals and the occasional stellar short shared online, is somewhat rare. A while back we got wind of what appeared to be a rather... More »
  

Fallin' For SKYFALL (Or Not): The Twitch Review Roundup

Skyfall is now out worldwide and after an impressive opening weekend in the U.S., we at Twitch HQ thought we'd pass the mic around for insights into the latest Bond film. What follows are a few hundred words from several... More »
  

Review: CITADEL is Creepy, Atmospheric, and Packed Full of Quality Scares
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, or as the case may be with Citadel, a group of violent, marauding child-demons is exactly that. Cirian Foy's first feature film is nearly everything a horror film should be: creepy, atmospheric, and... More »
  

Review: MISFITS S4E02 (Or, Finn Keeps His Girlfriend Tied Up And Locked In His Bedroom)
Misfits has always had a very strange way of touching on themes that are much more interesting than they seem on the surface. For example, Curtis' episode in the third series turned out to be a more challenging look at... More »
  

Review: THE THICK OF IT Comes to a Brilliant Conclusion
How do you bring a brilliant show to a conclusion? Armando Iannucci and company answered that question -- brilliantly -- with the final episode of The Thick of It, a political comedy that tussled with social issues, the inanities of... More »
  

Review: MISFITS S4E01 (Or, A Cult Hit Introduces Some Fresh Faces)
It's difficult to explain the appeal of Misfits to those who haven't watched it before. On the surface it seems vulgar, violent and unsophisticated but beneath that is a brilliant series that is exceptionally addictive and delightfully fun when you... More »
  

Review: SKYFALL Raises the Bar for Modern Bond Films
Skyfall, like the previous entries in the rebooted Bond series, takes great pains to correct a myth perpetuated by the classics with Sean Connery and Roger Moore. To wit: You do not actually want to be James Bond. Being James... More »
  

DVD Review: DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE (Arrowdrome)
Having a rotten mother will fuck you up.Twenty years after Mrs. Bates' incessant badgering and criticizing of a weak willed Norman turned him into a psychotic terror, Joseph Ellison's Don't Go in the House unleashed another unhinged mama's boy in... More »

London 2012 Review: VILLAGE AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Life's tough when you're a teenager. All those raging hormones. The confusion, the angst, the opposite (or same) sex, what to do with your life. Issues universal to all teenagers maybe, but compound that with being the only teenager... More »
  

Grimmfest 2012 Review: You'll Be Dozing Off Long BEFORE DAWN
Very few zombie movies are actually about the zombies. Whatever their scope and scale, these are generally stories about troubled people trying to keep on doing what they do even while the world's coming to an end. And the idea... More »
  

DVD Review: It's Grim Up North In HELL IS A CITY
The UK doesn't really do noir, do we? Okay, we had a brief flirtation with the idea around the 70s when Donald Cammell was still directing, but those were psycho-thrillers and grimy character studies more than bleak, existential detective stories.... More »
  

London 2012 Review: THE SUMMIT Is An Engrossing Real Life Tale
Documentaries aren't always the most obviously cinematic features and aside from a few breakouts from the likes of Michael Moore or Werner Herzog are unfairly given short shrift theatrically. There's still that small screen association for most cinema-goers, lured... More »
  

Blu-ray Review: TETSUO: THE IRON MAN/TETSUO II: BODY HAMMER
Third Window's Blu-ray debut of Tsukamoto Shinya's breakout feature, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, has been one of my most anticipated titles of 2012 since we broke the news earlier this year. Tetsuo is a film that transcends its bizarre and... More »

NYFF 2012 Review: GINGER & ROSA Goes Nuclear
Director Sally Potter (Orlando, Tango Lesson)'s new film starts with stock footage of an atomic blast. A great way to open a film if it was an Ed Wood B-picture. But Ginger & Rosa is not one of those. It's... More »
  

Grimmfest 2012 Review: COMEDOWN - The Slasher Movie, Once More, With Feeling
Menhaj Huda's Comedown isn't so much the morning after the night before as the moment that night when you realise the booze has run out, the pills are all gone and you're desperately trying to eke out the last... More »
  

Review: WUTHERING HEIGHTS is an Unusual and Haunting Interpretation
Many great classic novels have been adapted to film several times over. Books such as Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, and Great Expectations have all had, and continue to have, their adaptations. Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's classic gothic tale of unrequited love... More »
  

Fantastic Fest 2012 Review: DANGER 5 is YACHT ROCK-level Hilarious, but with Nazis!
All right, let's get straight to the biscuits: World War Two. The Nazis are making their mark on Europe. Adolf Hitler wants to take the world. And keep it. All for himself. Hitler's days are numbered because Danger 5 are... More »

Destroy All Monsters: I Think We've Been This Way Before, Mr. Spock

They can remember it for you wholesale, and they do. At some point, we licensed our pop cultural nostalgia to a handful of multinational conglomerates (well, to be fair, they always owned the licenses) and now they're selling them back to us - though, I guess, not at wholesale, but... More »

Interview: Twitch Talks to HANGOVER III's Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong may often play a lunatic on both big and small screen, but in person it's quite disarming to see just how calm and considerate he comes across. While he got his big screen start in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, Jeong's real breakthrough was taking a small-on-paper role... More »
