Revelations is a crime thriller from the director of Train to Busan… which isn’t as much of a plus as I’d have liked. It borrows a lot from Prisoners and a few other films to deliver half of a good … Continue reading
Well, it’s 2025 and Popeye slid right into public domain so here’s the latest cash grab horror. Joining the illustrious Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey and The Mouse Trap, Popeye sets our illustrious sailor man on a bloody, low … Continue reading
