    HG Wells' classic novel about Martian invasion has been adapted a number of times for radio, film and stage. Byron Haskins' 1953 film 'The War of the Worlds' is one of two film adaptations, along with Steven Spielberg's 2005 version. Whilst Spielberg...

  • The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

    Posted on Wednesday August 19th, 2009 at 16:34

    Having never seen Wes Craven's original I can't judge how successful a remake Alexandre Aja's 2006 version is. What I can say is that judged on its own merits, Aja's 'The Hills Have Eyes' packs quite a punch. The story follows a family travelling th...

  • Mediocrity on Elm Street

    Posted on Friday July 31st, 2009 at 11:40

    If you're tired of Hollywood churning out inferior remakes of horror movies instead of supporting scripts of new stories, then the imminent release of the remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is unlikely to generate much excitement. Despite them bei...

  • The Hand

    Posted on Saturday April 4th, 2009 at 18:15

    'The Hand' is an early film from director Oliver Stone, and one which receives much criticism. But I can't help feeling that it is a far better movie than most people give it credit. The plot involves a comic strip artist (Michael Caine) who loses ...

    'How to Make a Monster' is an entertaining and affectionate tribute to the monster movie, from the studios of Samuel Z. Arkoff. The plot involves monster make-up artist Pete Drumond being told by incoming executives that his services are no longer ...

A relatively new blog (oldest post dated from last november) so it is yet early to rate on the content but so far themonster seem to be a man of great taste with a likeness for classic monsters like the Wolfman and Frankstein...


The site is fast to load and have a nice layout, making it easy to browse through (I should learn from that - mine is overcharged and painfully slow to load!).

My only complaint (and this is why I put a "4" instead of a "5") is that the site insist too much on me to *buy* things and it have a commercial feeling that I'm not comfortable with (but maybe that's just me)

A nice new addition to the horror bloggers community!
