Film, Television, Book Reviews and Listicles by Ellen Avigliano
Movie Review: House of the Devil
One of my favorite horror movies that I’ll never tire of watching again and again.
Movie Review: A Nightmare Wakes
A Nightmare Wakes has quite a lot of things going for it. It has a beautiful aesthetic. It’s made of all the gorgeously dark and romantic things one associates with gothic literature. We are gifted with wide, overwhelming views of landscapes and deep, dark, all-consuming bodies of water. The visuals dance across the screen looking almost as if a painting left out in the sun a bit too long has come to life.
Movie Review: The Wyrmwood Franchise (aka Mad Max but Make it Zombies!)
Fast paced, quirky zombie cinema for fans of Mad Max and 28 Days Later
Movie Review: Virus 32 (Shudder)
A fun, fast paced entry to the zombie apocalypse movie catalogue

If you don’t know who Gwar is, I implore you to google them and enjoy yourself.
