  Thirst 2009

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Nov 2023

  When Priest Sang-Hyun offers to be tested with an experimental vaccine for a disease running rampant in Africa, he develops deviant desires and struggles to control them.

  This film is a great example of erotic horror done right. Although, I'm partial to religious themes coupled with eroticism. For "Thirst" specifically, the use of both themes is a near-perfect addition to this not-so-ordinary vampire film. It adds so many new layers and depth to a horror film like this. Aside from…

  The Addiction: What Could Have Been

      The plot is so refreshing and satisfying for seasoned fans and new watchers alike. This film makes you root for John Kramer and as awful…

  American Mary - What Could Have Been 

  *Trigger warning for discussion about sexual violence 

       When medical student Mary has a difficult time paying for school, she finds herself a new career in the gruesome world of body modification. I absolutely loved this premise and was fully prepared for some awesome body horror. Unfortunately, I have never been more disappointed watching a film before. 

       I can only describe “American Mary” as “fumbling the ball”, for lack of…
