Retro Reviews

It’s just another night of cruising through Netflix’s selection of horror movies. I finally make a choice and click on something called The Tortured – a movie I’m certain I won’t even finish. After all, it stars John Tucker from John Tucker Must Die and the crazy chick from Swimfan. Not …

Most of us have seen the cover art for The Prophecy when perusing the shelves for something to rent. If you’re like me, you have more than likely glanced over it and put it back. What if that was a mistake? A few days ago I decided to finally give …

I was never one for being in a sorority. Granted, if I had to spend the night in a haunted mansion in order to be initiated into one, I probably would have given it a second thought. The evening would have to end on a positive note, of course. You …
