Movie Review: The Amityville Murders (2018)

Man, Ronnie Jr. “Butch” DeFeo (John Robinson) has got it tough. His abusive ape of a father (Paul Ben-Victor) treats him like a punching bag (due in no small part to his draft dodging, pot smoking ways)…when he isn’t up to Mob biz that is, his dabbling into the supernatural has left him susceptible to arcane evil from the depths of hell, his girlfriend is on his ass every second (she kinda has a point as Butch chucks her ass out of a car into a huge mud puddle after a mid-blowie, hallucinogenic incest based freak-out…you know, a Tuesday for you boils n’ ghouls no doubt), oh…and there’s a rock solid chance this cat is a full-on lunatic. Before long the paranormal and psychosis begin to take their toll and Butch will be pushed beyond his limits! There’s a lot to dig about The Amityville Murders in my not so humble opinion. For starters, Robinson and Ben-Victor absolutely nail their

Movie Review: St. Agatha (2018)

It’s 1957, so the fact that Mary (Sabrina Kern) is unwed and pregnant (not to mention other secrets of her tawdry past) goes over like a fart in a submarine with society at large…leading to our heroine seeking refuge in a convent that takes in women finding themselves in such dire straits. Speaking of that convent; that structure is a Gothic abode that would give ol’ Edgar Allan Poe a solid case of gooseflesh…but as sinister a structure as that is, the woman lording over it, Mother Superior (Carolyn Hennesy) is terror on two legs that tolerates zero disobedience…and if she encounters it her punishment is swift and unbelievably brutal (think extreme bodily harm and vomit consumption). Will Mary be able to survive her stay within those wicked walls? Genre legend Darren Lynn Bousman (along with writers Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels, and Clint Sears) have really outdid themselves with St. Agatha. From the poster image, and basic
