With the acclaimed first season of MOOMINVALLEY coming to home video this month, we take a closer look at the loveable Swedish creation. . .

Angels Assemble!

For a concept so solidly bedded in the 1970s, CHARLIE’S ANGELS keeps coming back. This year’s film, the latest in a series of twenty-first century revivals, will once again see a trio of adventuring female private investigators do the bidding of the mysterious Charles Townsend, with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the titular troika. But how did this concept, equal parts women’s liberation and male titillation, get off the ground in the first place? And what in the blue hell was the Alley Cats? STARBURST does some investigating of its own…

Back From Hell

In the pantheon of modern horror, few characters have gathered as impressive a following as the famed Firefly family of Rob Zombie’s HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and THE DEVIL’S REJECTS. With those nefarious sorts now returning for a third outing with 3 FROM HELL, we caught up with the writer/ director to discuss the new film and his career...

Watching Doctor Who

An In-Depth Look At The Whoniverse.

Deborah Watling (1948-2017)

The last few years have not been kind to that elite acting group often referred to as ‘the Doctor Who girls’, that band of brave, fearless young women who travelled through Space and Time alongside the Doctor in the ‘classic’ original run of the TV sci-fi legend (1963-1989).

Farewell, Old Chum

The Further is Calling…

LIN SHAYE is a huge, huge favourite of many a genre fan, with her likely best known for supporting roles in a whole host of horror efforts such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Critters, Alone in the Dark, Amityville: A New Generation, the 2001 Maniacs movies, Snakes on a Plane, Chillerama, the Ouija pictures, not to mention comedic turns in There’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber, and for chastising rock music as ‘the devil’ in the splendid Detroit Rock City. Of course, the past decade has seen the hugely charming Shaye playing a vital role in the massively popular Insidious franchise. For the fourth film in that series - INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY - horror hounds were all kinds of excited to hear that Shaye was getting top billing, and ahead of the film’s home release we were lucky enough to grab some time with this horror icon to discuss what she herself describes as “the highlight of my life”, the progression of Shaye’s Elise character throughout the Insidious franchise, the family feel amongst the series’ key players, and we even ask her about her role in the upcoming return of The Grudge.
