I had to chuckle to myself when I accepted doing this review. I mean, come on! A film called I Was a Teenage Wereskunk sounded absolutely ridiculous, but that was part of the reason I took it. Watching the preview, I became slightly more intrigued that, not only was it going …

The thought of a zombie apocalypse can be pretty scary. I’m not going to lie, the idea of being eaten alive is terrifying. Now imagine that the zombies don’t want to eat you… they want to rape you. That’s just fucked up. This is just a small fraction of the …

Within the horror genre, few films capture the theme of Thanksgiving quite like the cult classic ThanksKilling. Full of slasher cliques and puns, this film plays up every over the top aspect, taking pride in all its B-movie glory. The second installment, ThanksKilling 3, takes everything to a whole new …
