By Melissa Antoinette Garza I want a book co-written by the Devil so I can attain immortality! That has A Missy written all over it, as does the movie THE NINTH GATE (1999). Shockingly, I never saw this flick. It snuck past my radar the first time around and […]
The Lighthouse (2019) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HOLY FUCK! Let’s just all agree Robert Eggers is the fucking man, and call it a day. Between this and THE WITCH (2015), I’m blown away. I expected to really enjoy THE LIGHTHOUSE. The trailers intrigued me. Eggers passion for filmmaking and thought-provoking horror […]
Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) – Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O’Rourke, Oliver Robbins, Julian Beck

By Melissa Antoinette Garza IT CHAPTER TWO (2019) was absolutely fabulous, but first let’s talk about the new BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019) trailer that came before the flick. What the fuck? Seriously?

In Her Skin (2009) Movie Review (Ruth Bradley, Kate Bell, Sam Neill, Guy Pearce, Miranda Otto)

The Brood (1979) – Horror Movie Review (Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar, Art Hindle)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE BROOD (1979) stars Oliver Reed. I love Oliver Reed. If he’s in a movie, I love it. He was just beyond fabulous. If ever a man embodied charisma, confidence, charm and captivating magnetism it was Reed. He just had it all. RAWR RAWR Reed – […]

Midsommar (2019) – Horror Movie Review (Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Villhelm Blomgren)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza MIDSOMMAR (2019) is the best feminist anthem since THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975). It isn’t only that. It has a great story, fabulous characters, phenomenal acting, a terrific pace and some freaky moments that viewers will find jarring. Still as a woman, the approach […]
