Ring Ring is a 2019 Indie film that is sure to make you feel… meh. For a film on a decently cheap budget you are sort of impressed by the film’s bolstering of a 6.9/10 on IMDb; of course until you realize most of the accounts are only a couple months old, have only reviewed […]

Ready Up For A Bit of the Ultra ‘Violence Voyager’
Have you ever laid your eyes on something so strange and repulsive that it makes your skin crawl a bit?

What is the Best Episode of ‘Creeped Out’ Season 2?
Last year I covered the BBC/Netflix horror series Creeped Out, and it was fun but in my earnest opinion nothing special. It had potential but didn’t seem to have much of an identity of whether it wanted to be creepy, or moralistic, or modern so I figured I would never talk about it again. When […]
