Horrible People is an on-line soap that revolves around the engagement party of Margaret and Carter. In each 5 to 6 minute episode, we get revelation after revelation about these 'horrible people'.

Can Carter keep his secret addiction secret? Will 'Mother' finally get her inheritance she so desperately wants and needs? Will Margaret make it to her champaign toast? Can Michael get revenge and find a new mother for his baby? And what ulterior motives Amanda have? All these questions and more are revealed during the first season of Horrible People, a must see for anyone in need of a good laugh. It's funnier than most comedies on the television at the moment.

Cabin Fever makes a welcome return to those old 70's and 80's horror films with heaps of gore, violence and nudity.

However Cabin Fever give a new spin on that. Instead of the boring masked killer stalking these kids holidaying in a log cabin, its an inescapable virus in the water supply...

Director Eli Roth does great things with his cast. Who'd have thunk the perky breasted Foreign Exchange student from Not Another Teen Movie could actually act!?

As for the strange ending involving an apparently racist shop keeper and three black teens walking towards his establishment, blame his friendship with David Lynch... Never before have i laughed so hard over a pointless joke in a film before.

Things are looking up for horror. With this, Texas Chainsaw Massacre not sucking and 28 Days Later, we have been spoiled. Here's hoping that Wes Craven's Cursed doesn't suck...

Silent Number was made as Jamie Blanks' final short for the VCA (Victorian College of the Arts). It tells the story of a babysitter who receives phone calls wanting help. When a man knocks on the front door covered with blood needing to use her phone, she becomes freaked out...

And while the film looks slick (as Urban Legends and Valentine do also), the story has been done to death. Think When A Stranger Calls, Are You Alone In The House, When A Stranger Calls Back and countless other shorts that most of us have seen too.

Jamie Blank has talent, he just needs a clever horror script to show his potiential. His previous 2 features have been trashy films, that said, they both were enjoyably trashy films.

As for Silent Number, its probably too cliched to be considered good, but is is a sign of things to come.
