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 …

A good reboot that nobody wanted.
A great thing about the internet is movies being released online before they’re out on DVD. Happy International Women’s Day! To celebrate, I’ve decided to look at a film that was made by and stars a cast of mostly women. Charlie’s Angels (2019), written, directed, and starring Elizabeth Banks.
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 …
It’s Harley Quinn’s world, they’re just living in it
Why didn’t I just use the money I spent on The Gentlemen for this? This movie’s got its title wrong. Instead of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), it should be Harley Quinn (guest-starring the Birds of Prey). (I dare you to say that sentence five times fast.) I suspected as much …

You should quit when you’re a head
That’s right, I’m bringing you all the best jokes available. Right now, I’m enrolled in a Gender and Horror studies class that involves looking at multiple different horror films that deal with gender in some way. Yes, I suppose the title of the course was pretty self-explanatory. I’ve decided to share with you all what …
Lock, Stock, Snatch, RocknRolla & Two Smoking Barrels
Learn the most creative ways to call someone a c**t. Recently I found myself with a dilemma because I wanted to see a movie and the one I was going to see, The Turning, got absolutely destroyed by critics and audiences alike. Oh well, now I have more time to read the book as I wait for …
