Are horror films always about something supernatural like The Conjuring? What about the slasher sub-genre? It’s easier just to […]
Pet Sematary kind of freaked me out as a kid, but truth be told I never read the 1983 novel of the same name by Stephen King. Revisiting the film nowadays feels a bit silly thanks to the shoddy special effects and all back then, but the core of the terror is still there. It’s […]
