Under the Skin mini review

Thoughts on Under the Skin, in three different stages: 1. During the movie. What is going on?  She’s an alien, right?  That’s what the description said.  Is she going to be driving around in this van for the entire movie?  Are those guys actually having sex with her and then getting destroyed, or are they […]

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 […]

The Granny review

Review by Zena S. Dixon The Granny was directed by Luca Bercovici and released in 1995. With the title of the film, you should know what you’re getting into. The film opens to a medieval exorcism involving a father and daughter. As expected, death makes its appearance in this situation. The daughter quickly manages to wrap her legs around […]

Deliver Us From Evil review

Review by Zena S. Dixon In the film Deliver Us From Evil, we follow a tough police sergeant named Ralph Sarchie in New York City, who encounters a series of increasingly creepy events that occur in the Bronx. Ralph used to be a Catholic and due to that he isn’t a believer in the supernatural…yet!  Throughout […]

The Strain S1E2, “The Box”

After an underwhelming start to the series, I was hoping that this second episode might renew my excitement for the show.  The survivors were being released.  With The Master being transported across the river by the unaware (and always angry) Gus, the apocalypse would be starting.  In addition to that, Vasiliy Fet (my favorite character […]

Snowpiercer mini review

Bong Joo-ho’s Snowpiercer – based on a French graphic novel – has some not-so-subtle things to say about class warfare, but that’s an article to be written by someone much smarter than me.  An attempt to reverse the effects of global warming have backfired, leaving the sole survivors of Earth to circle the frozen globe […]

The Purge: Anarchy review

They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, well if that is true then this picture sums up all of my feelings for this movie sequel.     I purged harder in the bathroom this morning.   “Do you feel cleansed?” I do now… Renfield Rasputin writes horror and is sick of this shit. […]

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead mini review

I will talk to anyone and everyone about the extent of my love for the first Dead Snow.  It’s a little slow out of the gate, but it eventually delivers the full-fledged insanity I hoped that it would, while still developing characters I wanted to spend some time with.  It’s one of my favorite zombie […]

The Strain S1E1, “Night Zero”

Lisa is now with The Horror Honeys as their resident TV Honey, which means you can still read her terrific write-ups.  Read her take on “Night Zero” here. I tell people that I’ve read these books, but, in reality, I listened to them as I commuted from Cincinnati to Lexington.  The first book was read […]
