FILM REVIEW: AFTER MIDNIGHT

When AFTER MIDNIGHT ends, you cannot help but start a conversation about it. The movie is an automatic spark that entices anyone to chat about its hidden point, and the clear intention of the very weird plot it carries to the end. I guarantee you that conversation will not end

THE WWE AND HORROR PART 1

As any fan of professional wrestling (or “sports entertainment,” as some may say) can tell you, there has been a firm and tangible connection between the world of horror and the world of wrestling for decades now.
