RIP Marilyn Burns

Everyone who loves horror has a story about how they got into horror.  All of them are great, and a lot of them seem to involve getting into the genre as a child.  Maybe one of their parents was a film buff and it was a tremendous bonding experience.  Maybe it was something forbidden in […]

The Strain S1E4, “It’s Not For Everyone”

Last week I talked about how getting away from character-centric drama was the key for this show.  Distract the audience with vampires so we don’t see just how poorly written this show is.  “Gone Smooth” finally did that, and “It’s Not For Everyone” continued down that path.

The Strain S1E3, “Gone Smooth”

I was hoping the “Smooth” referred to in the episode title had something to do with Eph’s hair finally getting the boot.  Sadly, it was referring to Bolivar’s Mechanical Animals moment.  Maybe they’ll soon discover that vampires are drawn to hair, and Eph will shed his locks.  Fingers crossed. We’re now three episodes in, and […]
