The Lowdown

By day I review video games for a living, but by night I’m doing this blog as a bit of non-profit fun, just so I can cover my other love: horror films and other generally weird movies.

Each of my reviews come with screenshots and a trailer (or film clip) so you can hopefully judge for yourself if the film’s worth tracking down.

I also made a New Year’s resolution a long time ago to watch all 72 video nasty films banned by the Director of Public Prosecutions in the UK in 1984, so the “Video Nasties” list you see below this will eventually fill up with reviews of each film.

Naturally, many of the films on this site (especially the Video Nasties) contain scenes of graphic violence and the majority are rated 18 or 15 in the UK, while some even remained banned in their uncut form. If you are offended by such sights or bad language then this might not be the place for you because there may be the odd gory pic or disturbing subject matter.

I hope you enjoy the reviews in this blog: all comments are welcome, as are suggestions of films you’d like to see me review (just comment under any of my reviews and let me know). If you like my stuff, feel free to subscribe using the link at the bottom of this column to get email updates.

If you want to get in touch, drop me an email at chris@thatwasabitmental.com

Thanks for reading!
