I apologize on the tardiness of this. I was out of town for the past week-and-a-half and had no way to watch this until yesterday. I’ll have my episode 7 recap up tomorrow. Between the flashback episode and being gone for a week, I had almost forgotten about Ethan and Dorian’s night on the town. […]

The Vagrants
So, I know that I sound like a broken record, but I’m really not much of a horror fiction gal. It’s just too much for my sensitive, little imagination to take sometimes. Or worse than that, it isn’t scary or creepy at all. Basically, unless your name is Joe Hill, I am going to […]
Much like the Caliban-centric “Resurrection”, this episode is very heavy on flashbacks. And by “very heavy” I mean the only non-flashback moments are Vanessa writing a letter to Mina. The contents of that letter are what we see on the screen, which means we get the occasional voiceover from Vanessa. After the last couple episodes, […]

Everyone loves found footage these days, right? No? Are you feeling the found footage fatigue? What if I told you this was a film about Bigfoot and it is written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait? Goldthwait has managed to acquire a solid reputation as an “outside of the box” director with Shakes the Clown, Sleeping […]
Ever make one of those decisions in life, that at first seems like it’s going to be a good call, and then five minutes after you make the choice, you realize what a horrible mistake you made? Well, that’s pretty much the case when my brother and I stumbled upon the Urban Legends: Bloody Mary film. We picked […]

Trailer Talk: The Babadook
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szaLnKNWC-U Release date: November? Director: Jennifer Kent I have heard great things about this film. Early reviews have been favorable, with Rotten Tomatoes currently sitting at 100% (albeit with only 21 critic reviews). I had heard a lot about this movie and how creepy it was before I finally got around to watching the trailer. […]

Penny Dreadful S1E4, “Demimonde”
Look. We all knew it was only a matter of time before an episode opened with a Dorian Gray orgy. And it didn’t disappoint. You know what they say: ain’t no orgy like a Dorian Gray orgy cuz a Dorian Gray orgy don’t stop. Except, eventually it does, and Dorian is able to grab a […]

Rosemary’s Baby: Part 2
As with pretty much all my write-ups, there are spoilers ahead. Be ye warned. You can read my thoughts on Part 1 here. Part 1 ended with the infamous rape scene, in which Rosemary is drugged and impregnated by a blue-eyed devil (“Equinsu ocha! Equinsu ocha!”) while a gaggle of vaguely bored partygoers look on. […]
Before I get started on this allow me to proclaim my undying love for Eva Green. There. I said it. 1. -I was wrong – I mentioned last week that this is going to be a hit or miss show from episode to episode and if the quality keeps up, I’m going to look like a […]
We start this episode with more Wordsworth. There’s nothing quite like hearing quotes from “Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” while watching a child find his dead dog, then have his mother cough up blood all over him. Frankenstein’s devastating childhood gives us a window into why he loves the flowery language of […]
