At its core, this is a slasher movie about a girl who stays on campus over Thanksgiving break and finds herself stalked by 4 murdering psychopaths. The psychopaths kill a couple security guards, and the only thing standing between our heroine and certain death are her own wits. It’s pretty standard slasher fare. As far […]
Have you ever found yourself watching Superbad and thinking, “I wish there was a less well-written version of this with zombies and more annoying characters,”? Then this movie is for you! That sounds harsher than I mean it to. I apologize to the scouts and their stripper friend. Let’s break it down. Ben, Carter and […]
For the third year straight year a horror movie has made the festival rounds and has received rave reviews from self-proclaimed non-horror fans. In 2014 it was The Babadook. In 2015 it was It Follows. In 2016 we have The Witch. I consider myself lucky in that I was able to avoid trailers for any […]
This is a pretty much shot-for-shot remake of Cabin Fever (originally released in the not-so-distant past of 2002). There has been a lot of negative discussion about the fact that this remake even exists, but I had two things in my favor going into this: 1. I’m not a particularly big fan of the original […]
The sparrow had disturbed Grandmother throughout the week. She was living with us, and had been for some time. Grandmother had grown so frail that I insisted she move in. For her advanced age, Grandmother was healthy and content with only the faintest hits of senility. Her eyes were failing, we weren’t sure she heard half of […]
I recently spent a couple days in Milwaukee for work. Since I booked my hotel a little late, the only place I could find within walking distance of my meetings was The Astor. It’s an old hotel (built in the 1920s), and, while parts of it seemed a little rundown, it was a pretty cool […]
How long have you been writing for? A long time. I wrote a few paragraphs and had ideas from around the age of eight but have been writing seriously (and finishing ideas/writing) since the age of thirteen. How many rejections did you receive before you first became published and how did you stay motivated? […]
I’m a sucker for a typical horror movie told from a different perspective. Scream, Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon are a few of the more popular movies in this genre, but The Final Girls tends to lean more towards Midnight Movie or Camp Daze (aka Camp Slaughter) […]
How long have you been writing for? I have been writing for many years, but only recently published my first full length novel, Devil She Became in September 2015. Devil She Became is an edge of your seat erotic thriller and the first book in the Devil’s Angels series. The sequel, Ava will be released […]
The Russian Sleep Experiment is a short-story rehash of an old favourite in a way that the recent movie ‘Cabin in the Woods’ is a rehash of 1981’s The Evil Dead. A lot is added, and something difficult to describe is taken away. In total we receive a fresh look at what was once a […]
