“I would really hate to be your scrotum right about now.” ~Police Chief Richter When I heard “puppet horror” and saw all the notable names doing voices, I had to see what Abruptio was all about. It’s about a little over an hour and a half (94 minutes and 35 …

In 2022, the news broke out that Shelley Duvall (The Shining, 1980) would be returning to acting for the first time in two decades.

I love vacation horror. Call me a sadist, but the idea of a happy family outing turning into a bloody shitshow makes my little black heart squeal with excitement. So when I heard about Genre Blast Film’s Worst Laid Plans a year ago, I kept a close eye on the film’s progress. …
