2002’s Dog Soldiers was a film that did three remarkable things when it was released. It gave Neil Marshall his feature film debut, helped revitalise the horror genre in Britain, and was a rare modern werewolf film. Since it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary it’s worth checking out.

The Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall era of Doctor Who has come to an end with the 90-minute-long special “The Power of the Doctor.” It was a special that was a fan service ladened event to celebrate the BBC’s centenary.

RIP Lucerys Valeryon, Heir of Driftmark. We hardly knew ye (seriously, we hardly knew you – as in I had to look up how to spell Lucerys). It’s all fun and games until your uncle, who looks as old as his mother – seriously, for all the excellent casting work the show has accomplished, and […]
