A Christmas-themed slasher with a central gimmick that ultimately goes nowhere. This flick had potential but it largely just settled on being another generic slasher. The flick is about a slasher dressed like a Christmas tree angel (of sorts) and … Continue reading
The Marsh King’s Daughter partially takes place in the marshlands of Northern Michigan. When they mentioned this, I frowned… I thought it was set in Louisiana or somewhere more typical of a swampy area in the US. I grew up … Continue reading
