The 2010 AfterDark Horrorfest had yet to produce a film this year that I was less than lukewarm about. So far I had watched Lake Mungo, The Reeds and Hidden and was only mildly impressed with The Reeds. The others for all their hype had actually kind of bored me. While I loved the idea …

Walkabout, that spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one’s choosing in an effort to satisfy one’s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon… You guessed it I walked about the shoes stores across …
Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias.
