I'm covering Tribeca for the first time this year! PR of any horror titles, please get at me for coverage: [email protected]. Particularly interested in Man Finds Tape, Neverland, and LOUD #tribeca #tribeca2025

My latest column for @metro.co.uk is live, and for the 35th anniversary of The Witches, I'm exploring why it continues to traumatise generation after generation metro.co.uk/2025/05/20/c...

I need Alpha and I need it now

Joining the masses ranking the best Final Destination deaths now Bloodlines is in cinema. In no particular order, these 13 absolutely fucked me up metro.co.uk/2025/05/16/1...

Happy Final Destination: Bloodlines release day! It's bloody good fun, but there's one singular line that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since seeing it. Read more in my latest column for @metro.co.uk metro.co.uk/2025/05/14/f...

Final Destination: Bloodlines is an assault of blood and guts, with an emotional, beating heart at its core. Read my full review now for @filmhounds.co.uk filmhounds.co.uk/2025/05/fina...

Plenty of new phobias unlocked with Final Destination: Bloodlines. Fear runs in the family in this frenzied, blood-curdling, laugh-out-loud instalment in the franchise that has been haunting nightmares for 25 years. I had a blast and a few minor breakdowns. Full review coming soon.

Mexican bandits! Snake intestines! Bible-bashers! Cobra-headed vampire women! @blsaycewrites.bsky.social helped us dig into FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE HANGMAN’S DAUGHTER… open.spotify.com/episode/0oUS...

LINEUP COMING THIS FRIDAY 9TH MAY!

This has truly made my day we're so back

I'm back from a much-needed holiday and time off dealing with some huge life changes, and to mark that, my latest column is here. House of Wax turns 20 this month, but there's one ugly piece of history we haven't left behind metro.co.uk/2025/05/06/2...

It’s Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽 today, so definitely not a coincidence we’ve reviewed FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 3: THE HANGMAN’S DAUGHTER with @blsaycewrites.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0oUS...

I'm back on @vampirevideos.bsky.social watching another bizarre sequel. This time, From Dusk Till Dawn 3. Listen to our thoughts in all the good places you get your podcasts

Let's talk about sex, baby 💟 in my latest column, I'm discussing how the sex scenes in Sinners open up very important conversations about the sanitisation of cinema, female pleasure, and so much more. I could write about this film for hours upon hours. metro.co.uk/2025/04/23/s...

Anyone else wondering how accurate Conclave was? I got you metro.co.uk/2025/04/21/a...

I truly can't stop thinking about Sinners

Happy Sinners day to those who celebrate. As a lover of blues music, vampire films, and especially Michael B Jordan, this was so supremely my shit. My film of 2025 so far filmhounds.co.uk/2025/04/sinn...

Michael B Jordan. That's it. That's the post. Go see Sinners on the biggest screen possible

Thrilled to announce that I'm taking over the Horror Haunt column at Metro, a space to talk about genre cinema from indie gems to forgotten classics. I've loved reading all of Alicia's pieces, and I'm so chuffed I've been trusted to make it my own

I never thought I'd be explaining Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, and Jonny Craig lore in a national newspaper piece but here I am, explaining Blue Dream going viral and the wild world of swancore at @metro.co.uk metro.co.uk/2025/04/14/s...

The Ugly Stepsister is coming to UK cinemas this month and cinemagoers are in for a wild, goopy, gory ride. I adored everything about this film, and you can find out why in my review for @filmhounds.co.uk filmhounds.co.uk/2025/04/ugly...

New Julia Ducournau? We're so back

Disruptive cinema guests are a symbol not only of increasing lack of empathy and awareness for others but also the shift to everything being content. If there is no difference between what is on a cinema screen and your phone screen why would anyone feel the need to respect it and pay attention

Get your calendars ready 📆 this week on the @filmhounds.co.uk podcast, I'm taking a look at the 2025 horror releases heading to cinemas in the coming months

The Bondsman has arrived on Amazon Prime Video and to celebrate, I spoke to star Jolene Purdy about working with Kevin Bacon, slaying demons, and the prospect of a second season for @filmhounds.co.uk filmhounds.co.uk/2025/04/jole...

Nine years ago, after writing as a volunteer or one-off commissions for a number of years, I got my first ever paid news room job. It quite literally changed my life and taught me so, so much about writing and journalism. Long live local news.

Before you BRING HER BACK next month, make sure you TALK TO ME! A huge thanks to the mighty @horrornonna.com @kathughes.bsky.social @blondekwaidan.bsky.social @blsaycewrites.bsky.social @emmawestwood.bsky.social @hauntedmeg.bsky.social for being a part of this one! 🫡 #FilmSky #Horror

I'm so thrilled and honoured to share I have an essay on this incredible release from @secondsightfilms.bsky.social for Talk To Me examining teenage grief. I can't put into words how chuffed I am to write about this incredible film and share a booklet with my good Judy @blondekwaidan.bsky.social

Over the past year, our rent and utilities have continued to increase to a point that is no longer sustainable. I am still not receiving disability. We need to get caught up, so we can move to more affordable housing, hopefully later this year. Any help is very much appreciated.

Undoubtedly the most unique premise for a film this year, Death Of A Unicorn just fell short of my expectations. Find out why in my review for @filmhounds.co.uk filmhounds.co.uk/2025/04/deat...

I'm in the cinema, staff scared, very seated, etc etc
