It’s time to run and hide!
Brace yourself for a slice of good, old fashioned mayhem as Film Review Special brings you the definitive guide to cinema’s nuttiest psychos. From serial killers to cannibals, we’ll take you through the darkest areas of the human psyche, rooting out the most dangerous men – and women – on the planet!

He will be giving serious thought to eating your wife…Red Dragon
• Hannibal's back, to end a trilogy. We meet director Brett Ratner, Hollywood madman Ralph Fiennes and the man whose taste for Chianti is legendary, Anthony Hopkins…

The House on the Hill near Bates motel - Where guests stay but never leave…Psycho
• Journey to the original movie! We look over the making of the Hitchcock classic, with contributions from Janet Leigh, screenwriter Joseph Stefano and composer Bernard Herrmann!

Hit the road JackJack’s Back!
• From the dark alleyways of 19th Century Whitechapel to the bright lights of Hollywood, Jack the Ripper has inspired many movie projects. We give you a small guided tour…

The Top 30 Screen Psychos of all Time!
• The Film Review Special team of crack psychoanalysts moves in to assess some of the big screen’s most gruesome characters. Will they get out alive? And who could possibly be barking enough to grab that coveted number one spot?

Still hacking after all these years…
• The last few years have seen a renaissance of the screen psycho, but now with an added post-modern twist. Check out the latest additions to the pantheon of pain, as we wrap our fingers around the throats of Scream, Jeepers Creepers, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Joy Ride et al

Maximum DVD Security Containment!
• Courtesy of those sick puppies at our sister publication, Ultimate DVD , we offer you worlds of pain on little, shiny discs. Assuming, y’know, that you like that sort of thing. If it’s got mad people with axes, if it’s got young people in various states of undress running from them, if it’s got a scientist stroking his beard and saying “In many ways, he’s no longer human”, it’s here.

The Top 10 Funniest Psycho Movies
• Let’s face it, sometimes we watch these things for the horror, sometimes because the only reaction to the horror is laughter, and sometimes because they’re just plain bad. We run down the Top 10 movies most likely to have you snorting into your popcorn.

From Slash to Screen…
• So many psycho movies are either based on real events and characters, or inspired by them – but how do they stand up to scrutiny? We weigh up the fantasy with the facts, as the real-life killers come under the microscope…

Freddy’s Dead
• Just what is it with psycho killers and the paranormal? Why are the two so closely associated? And why can’t people like Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers go more than a few movies without becoming something altogether supernatural?
