One of the most powerful things about horror movies is their ability to examine heavy topics in a way that distracts you from the topic. It isn’t that they don’t want you to know what they are saying but that the filmmakers are wise enough to know that the best way to examine something, something… Continue reading CHILDREN OF THE PINES – movie review
As a fan of Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot has always been one of my two favorite books of his, along with The Shining. I love most of his books that I have read but those two always felt like two of the very scariest. As such, I am a fan of the films made of… Continue reading ‘SALEM’S LOT (2024)

In a time when everything has become weaponized. Everything is politicized. It feels dangerous to love. Oh, sure, we can do it, be bold, and loud, and love to spite those that hate, but loving is dangerous in times like these. My wife and I are IVF parents. The journey was hard, expensive, and dangerous… Continue reading The Call is Coming From Within the House
