I’m Mark Holloway, a crime journalist and a lifelong fan of psychological thrillers, horror, and gritty dramas. My work keeps me close to the darker corners of society, covering everything from high-profile cases to unsolved mysteries. I’ve always been fascinated by what drives people, especially when they’re pushed to their limits or make choices that teeter on the edge of moral and psychological breakdown. That fascination seeps into my love for movies and TV shows that don’t shy away from exploring these themes—series like Black Mirror and films like The Shining, Alien, and The Thing are right up my alley.
When I’m not hunting down a story, you’ll find me in front of the screen, analyzing every twist, turn, and moment of tension. I write movie reviews as a way to explore my own reactions to what I watch. My reviews aren’t about sugarcoating; they’re raw, honest reflections on what worked, what didn’t, and what left a lasting impression. I believe that horror and thrillers are more than scares—they’re a way to look at ourselves in a different light. If you enjoy exploring the unsettling, the tragic, and the psychologically intense, you’re in good company here.
