Always late to the ball, but I was procrastinating contemplating this very carefully. Keep and mind I started writing this blog as I was watching Seed of Chucky on cable, so I guess long story short my judgment is clearly skewed. But whatever it must be done. I have to say there were very few …

An AfterDark Horrorfest Mini-marathon Got A Bit Political-ey
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 …

Bates Motel – Three Episodes In So Far, So Odd
After a much needed break, I have returned from my walkabout. 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 …

‘MAMA’ (Review) – Mama is mad folks!
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. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …
