Frank Baum, the series has had a multitude of different adaptations on almost every platform, including several films and musicals, stage plays, comics, and even video games.  Given how successful it was […]

‘The Possession’ Has A Generic Title Fitting Of A Generic Movie

Seriously, how bland is The Possession for a horror movie title?  The Possession is everything one would expect from a late August or early January horror film release.  This of course means it was filmed a while ago, sat around until things seemed clear enough, and was then dumped into theaters.  There is something to […]
