Eat the Rich... before they eat us! I wrote about why SOCIETY is a squelchy, paranoid body horror classic for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com. Just don't blame me if your eyeballs need cleaning after viewing! www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

If you're in the mood for a modest creature feature, why not set sail for Monster Island (Orang Ikan), where a razor toothed fishman is waiting! My review for @screenrealm.bsky.social is up now and it hits @shudder.com on 25 July. screenrealm.com/monster-isla...

Since SUPERMAN is out in cinemas now, here's my piece again, on why James Gunn's SUPER is a dark and enjoyably unwholesome watch.

Elysium is a tasty slice of dystopian, class war sci-fi. I wrote about why it is both increasingly relevant, and criminally underrated, for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com. It's streaming in Australia on Stan www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...

Here it is. A lot of artists should be considering their relationships with these people who support suppression of freedom of speech and protest against mass murder. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19320...

BRING HER BACK is a wince-inducing slow burn of vicious gore, creeping dread & poignant sadness. It's another essential horror movie from TALK TO ME directors Danny and Michael Philippou. I reviewed it for @screenrealm.bsky.social & it hits cinemas 29 May (today!) screenrealm.com/bring-her-ba...

Did you watch Rocky and think it would've been a better movie if he fought a giant space armadillo? Yeah, so did I and that's why I wrote about ARENA's underrated interstellar fisticuffs for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

I woke to the seas boiling, insects swarming and the sound of children weeping - all the prophesied signs of the worst team in the history of association football lifting a domestic trophy. Today is the day football died.

Needed a comfort movie on the plane. Found a ‘special airline presentation’ of The Thing. Can’t say I noticed any glaring differences. Perhaps a little less gore in the defibrillator scene, but I might be imagining it because I’m so jet lagged! #NowWatching #TheThing #JohnCarpenter

Little known fact, this was Jello Biafra’s preferred title… @alternativetent.bsky.social #DeadKennedys

A fantastic and fascinating piece by Alex on the score to one of my all time favourite movies, the utter masterpiece that is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

This was great!

I wrote about SUPER, James Gunn's vicious and decidedly unwholesome anti-superhero movie for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com. It's streaming on Stan in Australia and AMC+ in the US www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

It seems they are making a new ANACONDA movie. So here's a thing I wrote about ANACONDAS: HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID for @australia.theguardian.com - because it's a primo 96 minutes of glorious nonsense and slithery, large snake lunacy that knows no equal! www.theguardian.com/film/2023/ju...

Looks like PIRANHA 3D is leaving Netflix (Aus) soon. It's deliriously bloody, proudly lowbrow and one of my favourite horror movies of the 2000s. I wrote about it last year for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/culture/arti...

Here's a piece I wrote last December on the seasonally appropriate DARK ANGEL, because is it even really Christmas if you haven't watched Dolph Lundgren kick an alien drug dealer in the face? For Guardian Australia www.theguardian.com/film/2023/de...

FRESH is a dark, satirical, horror comedy with an appetite for the unpredictable. I wrote about it's warped charms for @australia.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com. It's streaming on Disney+ (Aus), Hulu (US) and Disney+ / Channel 4 (UK) www.theguardian.com/film/2024/de...

Boy eats girl: horror comedy Fresh really is worth a second helping

Boy eats girl: horror comedy Fresh really is worth a second helping

Last night I watched the excellent HORROR EXPRESS where Christopher Lee, Telly Savalas and Peter Cushing battle a frozen iceman on the Trans-Siberian Express. And it's as great as that sounds. It's on BBC iPlayer in the UK. I did a paragraph on Letterboxed for fun. letterboxd.com/adamfleet/fi...

Another piece I really enjoyed writing (a while back) for Guardian Australia was on the magnificent HALT AND CATCH FIRE. www.theguardian.com/culture/2021...

Figure I'll post a couple of greatest hits to get started on here. Here's a piece I really enjoyed writing for Guardian Australia, on what is still one of my absolute favourites, The Detectorists www.theguardian.com/culture/2021...
