by Alain Elliott

Directed by Chloe Okuno, Jennifer Reeder, Ryan Prows, Shudder, Simon Barrett, Timo Tjahjanto I don’t think there’s too many bigger fans of the V/H/S horror anthology franchise than myself.

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 3×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

So last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK wasn’t my favourite. I thought that the mini-challenge was only there to create drama and almost forced Crystal to become the pseudo-villain of the season. Also, the fitness inspired dance challenges was very messy with none of the girls doing particularly well. Crystal Versace was […]
