[Review] Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) by Marcus Wilturner
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a franchise is a captivating yet unscrupulous query.

{Review] Halloween Kills (2021) by Marcus Wilturner
Michael Myers. A name that’s synonymous with evil incarnate and death itself. Since 1978, “The Shape” has carved out a place in not only the creation of slasher flicks but a niche in cinema that’s been rightfully secure since that bygone era. Even with the initial not-so-welcoming response from critics and the general public, slashers … Continue reading
[Review] V/H/S 94 (2021) by Marcus Wilturner
The incomparable anthology sub-genre has sparked a righteous resurgence over the last decade.

[Fantasia 2021] Review: Glasshouse (2021) by Marcus Wilturner
In a world of lockdowns, multiple quarantines, pandemics, civil unrest, and an abundance of ignorance, this small, sealed off feature further taps into our times. The loneliness of our times. And definitely the isolation of our times. Not the first film to accomplish this feat during this tumultuous year, but an adequate feat nevertheless. You … Continue reading
[Fantasia 2021] Review: Baby Money (2021) by Marcus Wilturner
It’s been a while since I watched a straight-up crime drama and this definitely fits the proverbial bill in spades while also implicitly annoying and frustrating me on how unfortunate it turned out to be.
