The real Annabelle is actually a Raggedy-Anne doll

The horror community is a buzz over the upcoming film Death House, a film like no other horror film ever made. Death House has a cast so impressive it makes you feel as if your head is going to explode. But don’t be mistaken, Death House is not some gimmick who relies on cameos to carry the film. It has a great story. And no, there is no Freddy vs Jason or anything like that. The stars play new characters from an original story created by Gunnar Hansen, the actor who played Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among other things. What truly makes the film special is that it was Gunnar Hansen’s last project. He poured his heart into the script. Just before he passed away the script was turned over to Harrison Smith who rewrote the script with Gunnar. Gunnar approved the script before he passed and gave his blessing to Smith, who is dedicated to making

Hi everyone! This is my very first review for this website and I hope it’ll be one of many to come in the future. Now let’s dive right into: “Excess Flesh”. This is an independent film directed by Patrick Kennelly who previously made a documentary named “10 Minutes is 2 Hours” which is a 2013 film about cultural exploitation. When I first watched the trailer for “Excess Flesh”, I was intrigued by what plot was revealed in it. It showed a tale of two women with opposite body physiques living together and trying to get along when one day the one of them goes nuts and starts to hold the other captive. A wonderful premise for a horror flick, in my mind anway. The story follows two women named Jill and Jennifer. Jill is the stereotypical overweight woman who is constantly worrying about her body image and how others around her perceive her. Jill is one of those people who
