By Melissa Antoinette Garza I stumbled across this under HULU’s, HALLOWEEN category. They call it HULUWEEN. I don’t call it that because that name is stupid. Despite the bad pun, HULU is delivering some productions that look rather promising. INTO THE DARK: THE BODY (2018) is one such example. […]

The Intruder (1962) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The dangers of charisma and good looks in the wrong hands is explored in this 1962 Roger Corman production. Adam Cramer (William Shatner) is a devastatingly dashing man. He can turn on the charm and slick-talk on a dime. Nearly everyone in the small southern […]
