Hakuna matata Vagina dentata
I’d like to thank my college professor for giving me that title. (Unmarked Spoilers) Teeth is about a girl who, upon being sexually assaulted, discovers that she has a second pair of teeth down there, which bites the rapist’s d**k off. I heard someone tell me about the time they watched this movie with their girl …
Way to make a coma look good.
The difference between life and death is as long as a heartbeat. (Unmarked Spoilers) Before there was Rick Grimes, Jim (Cillian Murphy) slept through the zombie apocalypse first. Now, there also seems to be some debate over whether the people infected with the rage virus in 28 Days Later are zombies. Yes, yes they are, because while the infected …
Abstinence has never looked better.

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 …
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 …
