Slightly off-topic, but I had to post this teaser trailer for REC2. Obviously a sequel to the fantastic Spanish movie REC (remade in the US as Quarantine), this seems to be taking a more action-based vibe with police or soldiers entering the apartment block and fighting off the hordes of infected. Unless I’m mistake, this could be to the original what Aliens was to Alien. I can’t wait, and haven’t been this excited about a sequel for a long, long time. Here’s hoping that it will play at Frightfest when I go this year!

Hi everyone, this is a post to announce that my new website, 80sfear.com, is under construction and will be online as soon as I’m ready! In the meantime, this blog will be irregularly updates with news and reviews regarding the site and anything 80s horror related.

When it’s ready, I hope the site will be an increasingly complete record of horror movies from the 1980s including retrospectives, reviews and analysis of my favourite era in horror cinema. Over the construction period, I hope to cover the first specialist topic – the UK video nasties – as well as short reviews of anything that takes my fancy.

Sorry about the slightly ugly, off-the-shelf look of the blog at the moment, everything should get a little tidier as I progress.
