    Letters to Satan Claus

    ★★★

    The Scary Movie of Hallmark spoofs. This was a dumb delight.

  • MaXXXine

    MaXXXine

    ★★★★

    A delightfully sociopathic send-up of late gialli and 80s thrillers. After so many decades of women in peril in cinema (who never learn to double-tap), Maxine is the antiheroine we've been waiting for. Self serving and ruthlessly on the charcoal side of morally grey, our protagonist still comes off as sympathetic. We want to see her succeed.
    Also, every girl needs an agent like Teddy Knight in her corner.

    The Iron Rose

    ★★½

    Finally, a hard-hitting French film that dares to talk about the hidden dangers of having a Goth girlfriend.

    And Now the Screaming Starts!

    ★★½

    A supernatural tale of rape and revenge (and rape AS revenge) that's both lurid and downright silly.

    Like, this film is so rapey that I'm surprised other reviewers haven't mentioned it. C'mon, folks, it's like Pyramid Head stealthing Nemesis while sending unsolicited dick pics to all of Silent Hill and Raccoon City.
