He’s right behind you.

No, seriously, turn around and see for yourself. Once again, I have no official gender and horror movie for today, because right now we’re in the middle of spring break. So instead, I’ve selected a more recent film that deals with gender and horror—the second adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man. When I say that …

“Hey man, my name’s Adolf. This is my good friend Jojo.”

You may be surprised how hilarious Nazis can be. Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is a small child growing up in Nazi Germany who’s enrolled in the Hitler Youth camp and fanatic about their ideology. Unfortunately for Jojo, but not the rest of the world, his youthful enthusiasm, naivety, and inexperience doesn’t make him the best …

It’s my party and I’ll die if I want to…

Come back next week for an even more awful play on words. This week in my gender and horror class, we’re talking about Hereditary. Luckily for me, we’re allowed to skip two assignments for that class, but that means I don’t have a movie. So instead, I decided to talk about the Slumber Party Massacre series, a trilogy …

The joys of motherhood II: having a teenager

Plus some other stuff about religion and gender. Actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) has a problem. Several strange things happening around her young daughter Regan (Linda Blair), such as her daughter’s new behavior. As if she’s been possessed by a demon. Because a demon has possessed her, I hope I’m not spoiling that for anyone.

The joys of motherhood

Though if you want a real horror story, you should asky my mom how I was born. “You look great. It’s that haircut that looks awful. You want the truth, honey, that’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made.” No Guy (John Cassavetes), the worst mistake Rosemary (Mia Farrow) ever made was marrying you. On the …

In a small town…

I hope you like this movie more than I did. As I’ve previously mentioned in my Pet Sematary review, typically I’d start my review with a basic outline of what happens before going into my thoughts and feelings. I feel like in most cases, that’s a good way to structure a review. Okay, so now I’m going …

As the T-800 said to the trucker…

How should he have known to get out?. (Unmarked Spoilers) Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) should have known to get out because before he even meets the parents of his girlfriend, Rose Armitage (Allison Williams), they hit and kill a deer with their car. Then the police officer who arrives on the scene asks to see Chris’ …

The night that started it all

Before the dawn, day, land, diary and survival. (Unmarked Spoilers) Night of the Living Dead (1968). This is it, the one that started it all. Where George A. Romero created the modern zombie genre as we know it, launching multiple different sequels, copycats, homages, and parodies like this one that was written by yours truly. With that …
