Tom Beasley is a budding journalist and stand-up comedian based in Coventry. After the work of Stanley Kubrick kick-started an interest in cinema, Tom began to consume films like a proverbial fat kid in a sweet shop. He especially loves horror movies and is thus worryingly desensitised to extreme gore.
