FlixChatter Guest Review: BONE KEEPER — An enjoyable British monster horror movie starring John Rhys-Davies
Written and directed by: Howard J. Ford Between the underwhelming Row and the poorly made Borley Rectory: The Awakening, I haven’t had the best luck covering U.K. horror this past year.

Scaling Mount Kilimanjaro is a tough challenge, even for the best able-bodied athletes, but it becomes truly remarkable when a bilateral amputee accomplishes it. What’s even more astonishing is that Mandy Horvath ascended the tallest free-standing mountain globally without using prosthetic devices. The Ascent details Horvath’s intense journey in June 2021, and when she reached …
FlixChatter Guest Review: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) — An entertaining but not quite an epic finale to Tommy Shelby’s story
The Peaky Blinders TV series ended back in 2022, but rumors of a new season have been circling around for a few years.
