Imagine my delight when I came across a movie titled “Frankenqueen”; it has a couple of stars in it’s viewers ratings and is classified as Horror. Here is the Netflix description: “A getaway at a plastic surgeon’s Malibu mansion turns deadly for a group of young men as their mad scientist hostess implements a homicidal […]
As if horror remakes didn’t anger people enough already, we now have a sequel to a remake. If you haven’t seen the original 1978 film I Spit On Your Grave, you’ve certainly heard of it. Carrying the dubious honor of having the longest rape scene in film history, I Spit On Your Grave seemed an […]
Hellbent is an independent horror movie that I happened to stumble upon on Netflix some years ago. We’re all familiar with the Netflix horror selection:it’s a lot like playing Russian Roulette sometimes. So, after a few poor choices on my part, I chose to revisit Hellbent. Directed by Paul Etheredge, it may be low budget, […]

This is a question that I am often asked; apparently, it’s somewhat strange for an adult woman to enjoy horror. It’s a long held misconception that men are the primary horror movie audience. In actuality, it’s usually women driving the ticket sales. Some believe that males will, eventually, wander away from the horror genre as […]
Today I watched a double feature of “Who Can Kill A Child?”(1976) and “Come Out And Play”(2012). Despite the fact that the latter is a remake of the former, it was still astonishing how these two movies could have two completely different emotional impacts.
