Howdy! For me, writing about film is a lot like sex. I love it, but I'm not good at it!

The Autopsy of Jane Doe 2016
In 2010 a gaggle of monsters that hadn't been considered 'scary' in a long time came crashing out of Norway in the form of found-footage hit Trollhunter, the most profitable film to come out of that particular frostbitten country in history.

The Witch 2015

I mean, despite stellar reviews from basically everyone including the Church of Satan (aside: the Church of Satan is apparently still a thing. How cute is that?) and sporting a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 88%,…
