As we were looking for something to watch this morning, Jay and I got to talking about our favourite horror movies of last year. Well, specifically we were wondering how movies like A Quiet Place seem to make everyone’s best-of lists when it was such a steaming pile of shite… but close enough. I got […]

2018: A Year in Books
One of the worst things about dealing with Depression & Anxiety is my inability to focus. It screws with my attention and my memory which every doctor I’ve ever complained to about it (which is many) has claimed “is symptomatic of the disease.” Great help there, thanks. So, basically, it’s really fucking hard to read […]

Book Review: The Ultimate Guide to Strange Cinema by Michael Vaughn
I was excited to receive a review copy of The Ultimate Guide to Strange Cinema by Michael Vaughn. Strange and cinema? Two of my favourite things! They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but everything about this book’s cover makes me want to read it. It’s both clean and fun, which describes the […]

31 Days of Modern Horror: The Mist
CATEGORY: film and tv, halloween, horror, horror movies, modern horror, monsters, movie review, movies, scary movies
I’m happy to see The Mist (2007) taking the 20th spot on our 31 Days of Modern Horror Halloween special feature. Why? Because I don’t get to say this often… The movie was better than the book. Damn, I got a perverse pleasure from that. Was it good for you? 😉 Okay, let’s be fair. […]

31 Days of Modern Horror: Resident Evil
CATEGORY: adaptations, film and tv, halloween, horror, horror movies, modern horror, movie review, movies, occult, scary movies, video games, zombies
Movies based on video games don’t get a whole lot of love, which I think is a damned shame because there are so many terrific ones. When you talk about movies adapted from video games, a lot of people’s minds go straight to the likes of Double Dragon (1994) and Super Mario Bros. (1993) – […]

Welcome to Wondra’s World and our 31 Days of Horror Halloween special feature. Today, we’re going to be talking about the 2004 Stephen Sommers film, Van Helsing.

Some of the movies featured on our 31 Days of Modern Horror list are here because Jay loves them. Some of them are here because I love them. Insidious (2010) is one of my babies. The Insidious franchise is one of my favourites, due in no small part to Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) and her young […]

Day 16 of the 31 Days of Modern Horror Halloween special feature on Wondra’s World has arrived. Today, we’re going to be talking about the second Neil Marshall to make the cut, Dog Soldiers (2002). And, yes, the last. (Sorry, Doomsday. Not this time.) “Neil Marshall doesn’t do enough for me. I’d like to see him […]

Hello again and welcome to the 31 Days of Modern Horror Halloween special here on Wondra’s World. Today is Day 15 and we’re going to be re-visiting one of Jay’s favourites, 28 Days Later (2002). 28 Days Later is a hard one to categorize because it’s obviously a zombie film, right? Except… of course it’s […]
