I was interested in a film about the modern folklore/creepypasta of the Black-Eyed Children… mainly because I’m kind of fascinated by urban legends and how they spread. I should have read the tin closer though since it turns out this … Continue reading
Werewolves Within starts very strong – including an opening ominous quote that cracked me up – that I’m sad to say it loses so much steam around the halfway mark. It became a chore to finish it. It’s sad too … Continue reading
