Yes, I had heard this was not THE first Dracula adaptation (and neither wasNosferatu for that matter), but it was this film that embued pop culture for … Continue reading

V For Vendetta [2005] Everybody has a few of those films in their minds that has helped shaped their world, their perceptions and their love for the medium. James McTeigue’s contemporary (and for my money, far superior) adaptation of Alan Moore’s staunchly political graphic novel is one of the few movies that have changed the way I … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Shakespeare- The Play Is The Thing
Here at SuperMarcey.com we like to keep it classy to balance out with the reckless revelry and fabulous misbehavior. Like everybody else out there who have read or performed Shakespeare, I have a relationship that crosses the bounds between gramercy and begrudement.

LGBT Horror Month Retrospective/PSA
No fancy word play, no snark, no self-depreciation in the form of clever little annotations. Just raw opinion and an emotional response to an unfortunate situation in the world of the horror genre… and cinema in general. Horror almost always seems to cater to the straight, often male gaze that there doesn’t seem to be … Continue reading

The Triumvirate of Terror
Ever since the dawn of our existence, we humans fear what we don’t understand or in some cases prefer not to understand. The power of giving something or somebody a name comforts us and helps us deal with something that is beyond our control. Our ancestors gave natural occurrences in nature names and faces in … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Bram Stoker’s Dracula [1992]
I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF. There really is something to be said about a horror film that not only broke the box office but saved a studio from going under as well as launching several fledgling acting careers. Francis Ford Coppola set out to release a film based off Bram Stoker’s novel which turned into … Continue reading
