Ready Steady Cut

An affectionate and intelligent remake of the 1962 film with added humor. Looks great and works well, and the additional elements mean no fan of the original can entirely know what's about to happen.

Rated: 3.5/5

The bright Technocolor look that cinematographer Kevin Forrest brings to the film is the one true positive in this otherwise wasted effort that eventually just runs out of winks.

Rated: 1/4

It's been such a long time since I've had this much fun with a horror film and I can't recommend it enough.

Starburst

We don't doubt the team's sincerity and love for the much-mocked classics, but for this writer, despite being fun, it didn't quite pay off.

Rated: 3/5

An energetic and fun throwback to the golden days of camp, kitsch, and mad scientist horror, The Brian That Wouldn't Die is a humourful, though slightly stodgy, delight.

Rated: 3/5
