Cleaning out the DVR 2
This trio depletes my current stash of recorded movies. That’s the good news. Bad news is, only one of them was worth my personal time and taste. ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (2013) Only Lovers Left Alive, about a vampire couple … Continue reading
Life Blood – a lesbian vampire New Year’s Eve party!

Time to take on two modern horror comedies—and there’s not a zombie in sight this time! I look at the slasher Dead Body and the vampire flick Bloodsucking Bastards. DEAD BODY (2015) Dead Body feels like a nod to Scream … Continue reading
