Happy Halloween everyone! To help you celebrate, here are a bunch of links from fellow LAMB members to get you in the horror mood. Thanks to everyone who contributed and be sure to participate in the next Chops, coming soon.

This week we’re looking at two films which both had a great deal of buzz around them early on, be it from the festival circuit or being an adaptation of the latest must-read thriller (personally, I’d say your fine not to read it, I was underwhelmed), but which both ran into stumbling problems when they hit the general public. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Birth Of A Nation and The Girl On The...
Five films for you this week, ranging from very small releases about chess and hazing to blockbusters about oil rig explosions and floating children, plus a Kate Winslet drama that frankly I didn’t much care for. Here’s what the LAMB community has to say:
Queen of Katwe

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the remake of The Magnificent Seven might have been better if at least one of the eponymous protectors was an animated talking stork. I think the very least that should happen is someone should make this movie, just so we can find out. For the time being, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about both of these movies:
The Magnificent Seven
“Cult Chops” a monthly feature where each month we will be looking at a different genre of cult cinema as well as key actors and directors who established their legacies directing films from these genres
September saw the LAMB Members heading back to a golden and arguably wilder time for Hollywood as we dedicated the month to Pre-code Hollywood, here’s what they had to say
Forgotten...
Everyone breathe a sigh of relief, my plane didn’t land on the Hudson River last week, or any other body of water for that matter, and to celebrate we’re looking at three movies with fairly mixed reviews, none of which I’ve got any plans to watch any time soon as they are either a part of a franchise I’ve never paid any attention to, a found footage horror or are about Edward Snowden:
Bridget...
Well Elwood’s been doing an awesome job with his Cult Chops posts, but I’ve really dropped the ball on the regular Chops feature. So, let’s try to get things going again. October is always a good time to roll out the old Horror Chops! After all, so many LAMB members spend this month focusing on horror.
What we need from you is links to your posts, reviews, lists, podcasts…anything related to horror films....
As I write this, it’s a little terrifying that this week’s main movie is Sully, the true story of the pilot who successfully landed the plane on the Hudson River, and tomorrow I’ll be flying home on a plane, that will hopefully have a much less interesting landing. Also collated together this week are reviews of The Mechanic: Resurrection, which fills me with a whole different kind of fear, one of a future...
Only two movies for you this week, so I’m using this opportunity to catch up on some smaller releases from earlier in the year, which didn’t have enough reviews at the time, but do now. So instead of just Morgan and The Light Between Oceans, here’s the LAMB community’s take on eleven 2016 releases, enjoy!:
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
LAMB Average: 4.25 (12 sites)
It’s safe to say that the giant summer movie season is well and truly finished for another year, and I don’t know about you but I’m fairly relieved, given how disappointing many of those glossy tent-poles turned out to be. Now we’re in the lull of lower expectations before autumn’s awards-hungry scramble begins, which means some of this week’s releases – Mechanic: Resurrection and Hands...
For September we are heading back to the early days of cinema where during a brief period between the introduction of the first sound pictures in 1929 to the enforcement of the “Motion Picture Production Code” in 1934 there existed an era known as Pre-Code Hollywood. A wild time for cinema as films were produced including profanity, drug use, prostitution, infidelity and abortion, while it also produced films...
After a slew of middle-of-the-road movies in recent weeks, we’ve finally got a couple to mix up the leaderboard a little, with this week heralding two of this year’s best movies! And another couple of middle-of-the-roaders, because we can’t have everything, can we? Here’s what the LAMB community has to say about Hello Or High Water, Kubo and the Two Strings, War Dogs and...
