Here we have the unexpected sequel to the unexpected remake of an adaptation of a series of Christian novels about the biblical Rapture. The 2014 remake scrounged enough coins from between the cracks in the sofa to hire a solid … Continue reading
Huesera: The Bone Woman is a slow burn body horror/pregnancy horror show based on Mexican folklore. Basically it’s a analogy for pregnancy panic and post-partem depression/anxiety dressed up as a bit of a spook show. As a depiction of anxiety … Continue reading
