Sarah Cullen May 20, 2022 0
It’s hard not to feel we’re putting a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of the youngest generation. Whether we like to admit it or not, our actions will require them to shoulder many burdens that we are not ready for ourselves:…

Sarah Cullen Apr 21, 2022 0
As far as I can ascertain, it seems like zombie movies are fewer and farther in between recently. Perhaps we’re getting tired of seeing rabid droves mindlessly following the latest fad (your own personal politics will permit you to decide…

Is This Halloween? | Six Non-horror Features To Watch For the Spooky Season

Sarah Cullen Oct 29, 2021 0
Some of us don't like to be scared: there's no shame in it. Some of us are just extremely impressionable and even a film aimed at children is enough to scare us: and honestly? That's... kind of embarrassing. But no matter. Regardless of…
