I’m a sucker for a medieval man (don’t judge me), and I’m also a sucker for Kit Harington. You can imagine, therefore, my anticipation to view Pompeii, a medieval movie starring Kit Harington as a gladiator. This movie has been out for a while now, and it’s been teasing me on my Netflix recommendations for … More Film review: Pompeii
I’m not going to lie, the Netflix description for this film made it sound pretty darn good. “An ambitious reporter comes face-to-face with the inexplicable when she travels to Romania to investigate a nun’s suspicious and brutal death.” Two minutes into the movie, the credits revealed something even more enticing; the phrase, “inspired by actual … More Film review: The Crucifixion
I love a good horror movie, as you likely know, so I thought it might be fun to compose a list of what I found to be the best horror flicks for 2018. While I may have watched these in 2018, it doesn’t necessarily mean they were released in 2018, so please don’t attack me … More The best horror flicks of 2018

As an avid Queen fan, it should come as no surprise that seeing Bohemian Rhapsody became a priority for me shortly after it began playing in theatres.

Directed by Bryan Singer, written by Anthony McCarten, produced by Graham King along with … More Film review: Bohemian Rhapsody
Alas, I have finished the ten-episode first season of The Haunting of Hill House. Seriously, if you haven’t familiarized yourself with this Netflix original series, I highly recommend doing so.

I’ll begin by acknowledging that The Haunting of Hill House is a television series, not a film, as indicated in my title. But it’s the same concept. I decided to give this show a watch after seeing tremendous hype about it across social media channels, and god damn am I ever glad I did. This show is … More Film review: The Haunting of Hill House
As somewhat of a horror movie aficionado, I’m slightly ashamed to admit that prior to a couple of days ago, I had never seen Halloween. I still have to watch the original, as the one I just watched was the 2007 version, but these things take time. Halloween (2007) was written, produced and directed by Rob … More Film review: Halloween (2007)

After viewing Leatherface, which I reviewed in yesterday’s post, I thought I would take it upon myself to do some research and determine whether or not the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise was inspired by true events. To my complete horror, I learned that it is, loosely. Ed Gein lived in a farmhouse in Wisconsin, which would later be referred … More Ed Gein: the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
I’m not one to get easily queasy. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of gore, because, quite honestly, why would I enjoy seeing someone getting torn to shreds, but gore isn’t typically something to make me feel physically ill if I do happen to see it. However, after watching Leatherface with my boyfriend a couple … More Film review: Leatherface
When I saw that Winchester had arrived to Netflix this past weekend, my sister and I agreed to sit down and watch it.

Because I’m a massive Game of Thrones fan, it’s safe for anyone to assume that I’m also a massive fan of a majority of the cast, specifically Emilia Clarke.

I’m inclined to categorize my sense of humour as slightly demented with a hint of immaturity, so you can imagine my delight when I sat down and watched an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and learned the humour of the show matches my own quite well.
