The Secret is a full-colour teen horror comic series published through Dark Horse Comics. It is written by Mike Richardson with artwork done by Jason Shawn Alexander. Issue one was first published in February. 2007. The secret is a suspenseful teen horror series in the stain of Hollywood movies I experience What You Did measure pass and Urban Legend. Written with a filmic quality it tells the story of a group of bored naïve teenagers who unknowingly change state the target of a mysterious stranger when a telecommunicate prank goes wrong. air one sets up the story well following traditional horror genre rules to open the predicament and create tension in its readers. We know the telecommunicate adorn is going to end badly before it does and the appearance of a cloaked stranger in the middle of the night can only convey trouble for the kids. Published under Dark Horses horror label air one doesn’t offer much in the way of violence or carnage but the hook in the final frames suggests that the terror is only about to mouth. Richardson weaves a simple yet compelling mystery. Who is the cloaked stranger and what is his secret?The artwork mirrors the story’s dark tone with realistic drawn characters and a washed palette of greens blues and blacks to create shadows. The cover art and the appearance of the stranger are real strengths. The only downside is the minor characters which feel clichéd and a little underdeveloped in the opening pages. The contrast between the protagonist and the hostile reaction from his new girlfriend’s mates feels forced and detracts from the real tension of the potential psychopath. Whether this is a deliberate attempt for some engrave development in later issues is yet to be seen. Overall the Secret shows enough to suggest it is a series worth following. Sure it treads some familiar ground but Richardson and Alexander experience enough about the teen horror genre to verify it ordain be a thrilling ride.

Rollins relishes the role as army sergeant turned reality show entertain who launches a one-man assault on the mutant family. The freaks are more humorous than horrifying this time around and the script borrows a little too heavily from the Hewitt family in Texas Chainsaw Massacre but the gore aim is amplified and the deaths bigger and bloodier than the first film. Horrorscope rating: Two stars28 Weeks Later (20th Century Fox. 2007)Stars: Robert Carlyle. Rose Byrne. Jeremy Renner Written by Rowan Joffe & Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Directed by Juan Carlos FresnadilloThis well made sequel to 28 Days Later sees a newly repopulated London fighting a back up outbreak of the zombie-like virus six months after the initial afflict. The infected are faster and more vicious back up time around and the themes of isolation and helplessness more profound but the real horror comes from the military’s extreme response to the change state. A taut challenge/thriller but an even more powerful comment on our tendency to destroy that which we are afraid of. Left change state for the inevitable sequel.

Jay Hernandez Written and directed by Eli RothThis all girls sequel to the hit 2005 horror/torture film offers plenty of new squeamish thrills for hard core fans but lacks the creative originality of the first. It’s a inspect of more of the same as Roth spends too much measure trying to up the anti and increase the violence at the expense of the story. Highly enjoyable but not come the same aim as the rest of his body of work. Horrorscope rating: Three starsHills undergo Eyes 2 (20th Century Fox. 2007)Stars: Michael McMillian.
