It Follows: Review
With It Follows being released on Blu Ray last week, have a mish-mash of unconnected thoughts. – It’s hard to ignore the obvious Halloween references throughout the film. All the wide shots from a steadicam. The calm, tree-lined suburban streets with more than a hint of evil lurking. The pulsing synth. The fact […]

Eli Roth’s original Cabin Fever is an explosive juggernaut of gore, humor, titties, and teenagers making fabulously […]
