Paddy Breathnach's second horror outing plays much like his first, mixing genres and influences into a heady cocktail - although this time around the flavours may no longer satisfy the jaded palate.

A very ordinary, conventional, by-the-numbers creepfest without any dark spark.

You've seen this all before, and you've seen it done better.

‘Shrooms’ director Paddy Breathnach still hasn’t the foggiest idea of how to make a horror.

It isn't scary enough or funny enough to be worth your time.

Red Mist is a lazy, incoherent shocker with nothing to recommend it.

A derivative and titter-inducingly weak slasher movie.

The plot is total rubbish, and no amount of slick film-making can make you believe it is worth all the blood and gore we have to sit through.

Beep, beep, wooooooo…: this moronic medical horror's so awful, you'll be willing yourself to flatline.

Slasher movies tend to be all about the fiend doing the carving and cutting in a search for revenge. And that's pretty much the core of Red Mist.

This is a by-the-numbers slasher dressed up as a thriller, with Holby City-level acting.
