Movie Review: At Granny’s House (2015)

When Marion (Glenda Morgan Brown) has one “senior moment” too many, her son saddles her with a smoke show of a caregiver named Rebecca (Rachel Alig). This puts a bunch in Marion’s Depends, but she soon gets over it and her and Rebecca hit it off…and before long ol’ Becky has convinced our old ass friend to turn a room in her home into a sort of AirBnB for weary travelers. This would be all well and good, except Rachel is a Grade-A murder machine that offs any guest that displays sassitude…and she’s so damn good at it Marion doesn’t have a clue…though from what we learn from her son Marion would be apt to answer a banana and eat a phone. Things get more complicated when a married couple take up residence in the room…and by “complicated” I mean Rebecca convinces the husband, Ted (writer/director Les Mahoney) to kill his wife and become her partner in crime. Of course

Movie Review: ‘The Executioners’

Today, I watched The Executioners, and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. It begins with a group of female friends heading to a lakeside home for a girls’ weekend. As night falls the women are disturbed by someone knocking on the door. Three men with painted faces rush in and a night of terror begins. Viewers are forced to watch not one, but three rapes and two sexual assaults, as well as the torture of both women and men in this movie. I fully understand that the writer-director Giorgio Serafini (Game of Death) wanted viewers to sympathize with the women as they turned the tables, but damn. In my opinion, it went too far. One in three women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime. That statistic is scary enough as it is, why anyone would want to use multiple graphic rapes as a plot point is beyond me. We are not talking about an act that
