This movie caught my eye when it was released a few years ago, during that weird summer where it felt like every serial killer was getting a biopic. That trend seems to have slowed down, and that's probably for the best, but it did at least give us this movie. Zac Efron starring as Ted … Continue reading Movie Review: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile

Movie review: Last Night in Soho
There aren't too many movies I purposefully watch in theaters. I go maybe 3-5 times every year, and usually it's only for movies I've been waiting on, anxious to see them. While seeing some other movie, I saw the trailer for Last Night in Soho, and it definitely piqued my interest. When it released a … Continue reading Movie review: Last Night in Soho
Movie Review: The Lodge (2019)
Picking a movie to watch is turning into the most exhausting decision. You have to choose which streaming service (Netflix? Hulu? .... Peacock?) and then, once inside, you have to choose your genre. And even if you know the genre ("Tonight's a horror movie night"), you still have to pick the actual movie. So many … Continue reading Movie Review: The Lodge (2019)
Movie Review: Aftermath (2021)
Welcome back, scary movie lovers! I'm back with another scary movie review, this time coming from Netflix.

I’m Back! (For Now)
Well, it's only been about a year since I've written anything here. How's it going? This summer (2022), I'll be releasing some more horror movie reviews. I've got a bunch of them, coming for you, but before all that I have some life news. Things are quite a bit different than they were a year … Continue reading I’m Back! (For Now)
Movie Review: The Stepfather (2009)
There's something about horror movies from around 2010... With a few exceptions, like the Conjuring, they're almost always very "of that time." There's no escaping the low-rise jeans, the stereotypical gamer kid, and genre tropes by the dozens. It feels like everybody was making the exact same type of movies, with jump scares, shallow characters, … Continue reading Movie Review: The Stepfather (2009)
Bonus Chapter: Everything, Somewhere
Everything, Somewhere has been out less than 3 months, but it's already sold 500 copies! This astounds me, and it's all thanks to you people. I can say thank you a million times and it won't be enough, so I decided to do something special. I know many of you want more Willow, Hudson, and … Continue reading Bonus Chapter: Everything, Somewhere
Movie Review: Conjuring 3 (And Full Series)
The new Conjuring movie completes one of the greatest horror threequels ever put to film. Not only that, it reminds the audience of how good the first two were, how genre-defining this series turned out to be. I realized I hadn't written a full review of the first or second one, so I'll lump in … Continue reading Movie Review: Conjuring 3 (And Full Series)
Live Book Readings
I recently had the opportunity to host a book reading and Q&A session at the local library as part of the Everything, Somewhere launch tour. The event was such a success, we've decided to have another one in mid-July! I'll post videos and pictures from that event as well, once it happens, but I also … Continue reading Live Book Readings
Movie Review: A Quiet Place (Pt. 2)
From the instant the lights dim, A Quiet Place 2 is remarkably different. It opens with a brief thank-you video from John Krasinski, who has been extremely understanding of the plight audiences face in returning to theaters. He is earnest and hopeful, both in his message and in his movie. Another thing: There are no … Continue reading Movie Review: A Quiet Place (Pt. 2)
