Mailbag: May 23, 2016

Welcome to another exciting installment of the Horror Writers mailbag!  Thanks for the questions. Did you see the Rec saga? – @NicoLasaigues I have seen the first three, and I really enjoyed all of them.  Like a true American, I saw Quarantine first (USA!

Ghosts in the Burbs: The Beginning

Hush: Movie Review

Synopsis: A deaf, mute female author lives alone in a fairly secluded house in the woods.  A man in a creepy mask shows up, kills her neighbor and terrorizes her. My thoughts: This seems like a pretty standard home invasion movie, but I gave it a shot because it was directed by Mike Flanagan.  I […]

Stung: Movie Review

Synopsis: Genetically modified super-wasps descend on a gathering of rich people.  If you get stung (STUNG, you guys.  I just got it) by one of these wasps, you will become a person-sized wasp.  So kind of like zombies, except with wings and a stinger.  But hey!  Maybe you can produce some delicious honey.  (Wasps cannot […]
