The Strain S1E9, “The Disappeared”

Since I’m so late with this write-up this week (I was out of town…sorry), I’m going to skip my normal intro and just get right into the Hates/Loves. Hates: 1. Diane’s babysitting skills leave a little something to be desired.  Step one: don’t swear at the children. 2. Zach is not a very observant kid.  […]

Leprechaun Origins review

I’ll be the first to admit that the Leprechaun movies aren’t very good.  I believe the original was supposed to be a somewhat scary horror flick, but was too ridiculous to take seriously.  I mean, he killed a guy by jumping on him with a pogo stick.  Serious horror this was not.  It’s like they […]

The Strain S1E8, “Creatures Of The Night”

You guys remember Splinter?  The horror movie that took place in a gas station?  It was impossible to watch this episode and not think about that film.  The Mist also came to mind, although that was a slightly bigger setting, with a somewhat unseen menace.  I loved it.  I love the claustrophobia it brings, but […]

Interview with Leigh Janiak
