MAYHEM played at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival this month. My schedule did not allow me to go see it when it played in the theatre, so I watched it at home.  Before I delve deeper (and reveal some spoilers) I will say this: If you get the chance

THE VILLAINESS (originally titled Ak-Nyeo) opens with one of the most badass fight scenes in recent memory. Seriously, the opening number (which feels like a single first-person shot) opens with such fire and fury that it’s almost nauseating. I mean that in the best of ways. Playing at this year’s

Today’s 66 HORROR FLIX celebrates the most famed monster in film history, Frankenstein! Or, as he is known in the 1931 film FRANKENSTEIN, “The Monster”.  What makes this episode extra special is that it is filmed before a live audience at El Camino College to celebrate the bicentennial of Mary
