Mitch Wilson’s supernatural horror flick Knucklebones takes the viewer back to that long lost age of creepy killers, inventive kills, premarital […]
I’ve never been a big follower of the Mumblecore style of film making. For those not familiar, Mumblecore involves low budget, sometimes unprofessional actors speaking in a very naturalistic way, even improvising lines. It often focuses on relationships and dialogue over actual plot. I mean, I get it. I can appreciate it. It’s just not […]
I think there is a theme running in my reviews of late. Folks getting lost in the woods. I think it must be karmic retribution for convincing my sister that every frame of The Blair Witch Project was real all those years ago. I enjoyed her reactions to that film more than the movie itself. What goes […]

If you’re familiar with bible scripture — and being from the south, where you can find scripture written on everything from vacuum cleaner bags to McDonald’s wrappers, I’ve heard one or two — Genesis, chapter […]
Don’t get me wrong. I looooove me some Superman and Batman. I grew up a huge Marvel fan, The Fantastic Four being my all time favorite. Especially Ben Grimm, The Thing. And the rest all fall in behind that. Spider-man, Hulk, Thor and the rest. But I hold just as big a place in my heart […]
In a little over a week, we will have the divine pleasure of seeing something that what was once thought would never, ever happen. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will descend upon us like a slow moving, bumbling juggernaut that will not be stopped. The movie started it’s promotion machine so long ago now, that […]

Seduction of the Innocent: The Gruesome Magazine comic review of ” Harrow County” Volume one from Dark Horse Comics.
