Penny Dreadful S1E2, “Seance”

“Pay attention to me!” Like the first episode, this one moved along pretty slowly, revealing just enough to keep interest up.  A slow start does not mean a disappointing start.  I loved this episode every bit as much as the first one.  These first two episodes feel like the set-up of bigger things to come.  […]

Rosemary’s Baby: Part 1

Before I get started, I think it’s important to get a couple things out of the way.  I don’t really care for Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby.  I can appreciate it for what it did for the genre, but I never found it particularly scary or interesting.  I love the atmosphere, but, in the end, it […]

Interview with The Glamorsteins

As I wrote about a couple weeks ago, I went to Wizard World in Louisville this year.  While I was there, I met The Glamorsteins: a relatively new group on the cosplay/costumer scene.  I had my picture taken with them, and they handed me their business card.  They were friendly and seemed passionate about what […]

“The Sacrament” by Dusty

Read Lisa’s review here.  It’s terrific. Description from Netflix: Using “found footage”, this unnverving thriller recounts the tragic story of an exiled Christian cult and the grisly events that transpire after three journalists – one looking for his missing sister – arrive at the commune.
