I finished watching Antichrist and, as promised, here's the second and last part of my review. After I finished watching it, I needed a hug. It's an emotionally draining movie; filled with disturbing images and grotesque elements. It depicted vile things and at the end, I wasn't entirely sure what I had seen. I don't … Continue reading Movie Review: Antichrist (Part 2)

Movie Review: Antichrist (Part 1)
It is very rare that a movie scares me anymore. I'm not bragging. It just means I've seen too many scary movies. I know how it's going to end. I know which characters are going to die at which points. I know where the monster will appear and what its name is. It's all about … Continue reading Movie Review: Antichrist (Part 1)

It was one of the first bits of horror I watched growing up and it had a … Continue reading Movie Review: Prometheus

I've never been to any kind of convention before. I have only a very loose idea of what to expect. I don't … Continue reading Countdown
Plans Macabre
So Halloween is rapidly approaching and how. I know you're probably not as excited as I am, since most people who get excited about Halloween are under ten and thinking about candy. As someone who indulges in horror year-round (writing it, reading it, watching it), it's always nice when October comes slouching 'round and everyone … Continue reading Plans Macabre
The Rules of Horror
Horror movies exist primarily to do one thing: scare people. And, for the most part, horror movies fail in that one goal. They shock, they gross out, they startle, but they don't truly scare. There's nothing scary about Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. There's nothing scary about torture porn like Hostel and the entire Saw … Continue reading The Rules of Horror
