I don’t even know where to begin with this review so I guess I’ll start by describing the events that lead up to me watching it.

Dear Zombie Hunter, You were so very clever to use the always badass Danny Trejo has a lure. It looked as though I would be watching a movie about Danny Trejo killing zombies. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong. In actuality, this was a movie that has something to do with a drug epidemic […]

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Horror-Writers Film Club. We thought it would be a good idea to have members of the staff watch the same movie, then have a conversation about it. For this first Film Club, Lisa, Shawn, Chassity & I sat down to watch The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh […]
Classified as Adventure/Fantasy/Horror, “Rare Exports” is a delightful, little Christmas tale from Finland. I wish I could say that I love it as much as everyone else does. I don’t. Way back in 2010, my husband told me a story of hearing a horror movie get an amazing review on NPR. (Yes, I listen to […]
Description from Netflix: In the frozen beauty of Finland, local reindeer herders race against the clock to capture an ancient evil: Santa Claus.
