The Devil’s Advocate (1997) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of those movies that everyone makes fun of. My favorite podcast How Did This Get Made? completely tore it apart, albeit in a hilarious manner. My husband thinks the movie is dreadful and I have yet to meet someone who genuinely enjoys […]
Night of the Living Dead (1990) – Horror Film Remake
