Kyle Barratt

The world is full of mysterious creatures whose existence spark constant debate. Scotland have the Loch Ness monster, North America have big foot and the Himalayas have the Yeti but none can hold a candle to England's mythical beast. The Kyle Barratt has eluded scientists for decades, many doubt he even exists and is really a man from Ealing named Carl. Yet time and time again proof arrives in the form of completed and well written articles.

  • Eve of the Daleks is the Best Doctor Who in Years

    04/01/2022
    Déjà vu is at the heart of the Doctor’s latest adventure. Not just onscreen, with our heroes trapped in a time loop with Dalek assassins, but for the viewer too. “Really, another New Year special with the Daleks as the baddies?” But any complaints, or most of them at...

  • The Dark Subversive Heart of Home Sweet Home Alone

    28/12/2021
    Actual quality doesn’t matter with a new Home Alone film. The Internet will judge it harshly regardless. The original film is genuinely great but even so has now transcended to a Christmas classic, embroiled in nostalgia that hides any possible flaws and makes its generations of fans defensive about...

  • Riders of Justice is 2021’s Movie Masterpiece & Perfect Christmas Viewing

    21/12/2021
    Every piece of marketing for Riders of Justice leads you to make a wrong assumption about the film. The poster of a gun-wielding Mads Mikkelsen on a dark backdrop, the font that’s been used for every action movie for the past 15 years, and even the generic title makes...

  • Ranking Every Friday the 13th Movie

    14/12/2021
    One presumes ‘Camp Crystal Lake’ is named as such because it is where so many horror tropes were crystalised. Having taken inspiration from Giallo movies like A Bay of Blood, as well as John Carpenter’s Halloween, and Black Christmas before it, Friday the 13th became the ultimate slasher series....

  • The Wheel of Time Lacks Visual Verisimilitude

    07/12/2021
    Most of what I’ve seen online about The Wheel of Time, Amazon Prime’s fantasy series based on the novels by Robert Jordan, is shallow criticism and excessive comparisons to Game of Thrones, and so it pains me that that is also what I’m about to do. But firstly, I...

  • Why Fargo Should be the Template for the Alien TV Series

    30/11/2021
    If there’s one person who can be trusted with bringing Alien to television it’s Noah Hawley. The creative mind behind Fargo, the four-season anthology series spawned from the Coen Brothers film, is currently writing the sci-fi horror series which will enter production in spring of 2022. Few details are...

  • Breaking Down the Obi-Wan Kenobi Concept Art

    23/11/2021
    2021’s Disney Plus Day came and went, and with it that internal balancing act of being excited for future ‘content’ while understanding you’re falling for the machinations of a huge, greedy corporation. While there was plenty of Marvel and Pixar news, Star Wars had little to show on what...

  • The Curious Case of Boba Fett’s Newfound Honour

    16/11/2021
    One of many of the arguments I hate in the Star Wars fandom is the whole “the new creatives are betraying the legacy characters” nonsense. A classic character is featured in a new story, either too little or too much depending on who you ask, and it doesn’t exactly...

  • Does No Time To Die Make Spectre Better or Worse?

    09/11/2021
    Daniel Craig’s James Bond films may form a single connected story arc but the transitions between films are rarely smooth. In a way, No Time to Die is a direct sequel to Spectre, but the two films ultimately offer vastly different approaches to the style, storytelling, and tone of...
